Research Shows Family Rifts Affect Millions Of Americans – Here Are Possible Paths From Estrangement Toward Reconciliation

Family relationships are on many people’s minds during the holiday season as sounds and images of happy family celebrations dominate the media. Anyone whose experiences don’t live up to the holiday hype may find this difficult or disappointing, but those feelings may be felt even more acutely among those involved in family rifts. I have done a significant amount of research on ambivalence and conflict in families, which led to a five-year study of family estrangements. At the outset, I was surprised at how little evidence-based guidance exists on the frequency, causes and consequences of family estrangement, or how those involved cope with the stress of family rifts. There are few studies published in academic journals on the topic, as well as limited clinical literature. I sought to fil...

Kate Middleton And Prince William – Are They Compatible?

Is Kate Middleton compatible with Prince William? Could their numerology and astrology give us some insight into why their relationship is on and off? Numerology - Kate Middleton - 9th January 1982 / Prince William - 21st June 1982 Chart: Kate | William - - - - 9 | - - 6 - 9 2 - - - 8 | 2 - - - 8 11 - - - | 11 - - - Life path 30/3 and Life path 29/11 - At first glance, their charts look similar, the only difference being the 6 in William's numbers which is missing from Kate's. However, their life path numbers, a major influencing factor, are not the most compatible of numbers because Prince William is a 29/11, which is a '2', and she's a '3' - numerologically, odds and evens don't mix well. However, 2 and 3 being adjacent numbers, they are at least complementary. Both will share an ...

Is He Or She A Good Match for You – How To Tell Within 2 Minutes

What is planetary Synastry? Synastry is simply how the positions of the planets in your birth-chart match those of another person. Planets aspecting those in other people's birth-charts are one of the main reasons why we find that we instantly like some people and find others less appealing. It does not end here. The more good aspects we share with another person, the greater the bonds that are formed. relationship itself. One can experience feelings of attraction in one sense yet find other areas rather unattractive. For instance, one can feel very much in love with someone else on an intellectual and emotional level, yet find them completely physically unattractive. While bad aspects can initially make another person seem more interesting, over time these will enhance the relationship le...

Male Homosexuality Focuses On Casual Sex

While 50% of the male population is exclusively heterosexual, only 4% is exclusively homosexual. Around 10% of men at some time in their lives have predominantly homosexual relationships for a period of a few years. A man's orientation is determined by the sexual anatomy of the partner's who cause his arousal and his sex drive to engage in penetrative sex. Gay men are often promiscuous. Research indicates that a high proportion of gay men have sex with many different men and 22 per cent have had more than ten partners. This contrasts with only 29 per cent of lesbian women who have sex with more than two partners and only 4 per cent who have had more than ten partners. Lesbians are rarely promiscuous. Sexual pleasure is based on a man's own physical gratification rather than the emotional r...

What If My Girlfriend Is In Love With My Dad?

Imagine that your girlfriend is in love with your dad. Can you imagine anything worse? It sure is a horrible situation for a young guy to be in, but these types of crushes can be dealt with if you use the right combination of sensitivity and authority. If your girlfriend is a teenager or in her early twenties, the chances of her having a crush on your father are higher than if she is in her mid twenties and older. Teenage guys tend to have dads who might still be physically attractive to a young girl, and they can become quite infatuated. Especially if your dad is good looking, an outdoors type of man, or one who is very up-to-date with all the stuff young people like. If your dad is into your type of music and movies, and can relate to the social networks you and your girlfriend use, then...

How Did I Get Here? Confessions Of A Female Sub

Wow. Just how did I get here? To the bottom of my secret garden, down and round the winding path, past the pond and behind the bushes, hidden from everyone I had ever met, until now? It's a long story, a true journey of discovery, helped along the way with an increasing sense of certainty and more than a few deep breaths. I was brought up, like lots of women, to believe that sex was something private, something that happened between a man and a woman during marriage, definitely not before and definitely not to be enjoyed. A perfunctory provision of the wedding vow, if you like. And boy, was that ever boring! Having followed the expected passage into womanhood, I married at twenty one, still innocent in matters of the flesh, save the odd kiss and cuddle and slap of the hand if things looked...

Baby Talk – Why Do Couples Use It With One Another?

Imagine you’re strolling through a park and you overhear a middle-aged couple cooing over each other, doting over their “wittle sugar pwum” and “baby doll.” “Ewwww,” you might reflexively think. Baby talk is cute when grown-ups dote on babies. But when adults converse with each other? Not so much. Yet in my work as a communication sciences and disorders researcher, I’ve come across studies showing that as many as two-thirds of couples use romantic baby talk. It may sound strange and elicit cringes, but it’s no disorder. So why do couples do it? First, it’s important to understand what, exactly, I mean by “baby talk.” It’s not how babies talk to one another. It’s the exaggerated pitch, tempo and intonation that parents use when talking to their little ones – what linguists call “motherese” ...

No Haven In Family Courts For Victims Of Domestic Abuse

The #MeToo movement may have shifted the balance of credibility on sexual abuse and harassment at work more toward victims and away from alleged perpetrators. But the same cannot be said regarding men’s violence and abuse at home: In fact, women’s reports of domestic violence are still widely rejected, especially in one critical setting: the family court. When women, children or both report abuse by a father in a case concerning child custody or visitation, courts often refuse to believe them. Judges even sometimes “shoot the messenger” by removing custody from the mother and awarding it to the allegedly abusive father. For instance, courts reject 81% of mothers’ allegations of child sexual abuse, 79% of their allegations of child physical abuse, and 57% of their allegations of partner a...

My Life Story And The Endless Question

What a journey! And I don't mean the one Ben and I are in right now! No. I mean something larger. As in a life history line. I would never have thought that the personal achievements and goals which to me were once unachievable, far fetched and non realistic then, would I be living right now. Nor would I even have imagined the term sugar baby associated with my life. We both decided to take a break from our comfort zone of skyscraper restaurants, West End evenings and Sketch London nights and gave way to the surrounding fairy tale like landscape with its frozen scenery we are cutting right through in bullet speed now. I have no idea why I now, all of a sudden started scribbling this thoughts down but I suppose as we have a few hours till we get to Geneva and Ben completely dozed off next t...
