<IMG SRC="http://vnbateman.com/images/img-5453.jpg" width="450"></center>On Monday 14 January 2019, on the eve of the long awaited parliamentary vote designed to sign and seal Britain's exit from the European Union, Victoria took to the stage to demonstrate how Brexit leaves Britain naked.
She began by undressing whilst simultaneously explaining how Britain has been sold the emperor's new clothes, before detailing (naked of course) how Brexit will affect the British economy, along with the value of a free, open and tolerant society that is welcoming and open to those from abroad - a society of the kind that Brexit puts at risk.<a name='more'></a>
After her naked lecture, Victoria invited the Cambridge community to sign her naked body, creating a living and breathing human petition against Brexit - one that serves to illustrate the way in which Brexit is not just about money; it is about real lives, including those of more than 3 million EU citizens within the U.K. whose lives hang in the balance, and the freedom of every British citizen to be able to pursue educational, work and personal opportunities beyond the place into which we are born.

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/01/07/magazine/07mag-subways17-cover/07mag-subways17-cover-jumbo-v2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="520" data-original-height="538" data-original-width="800" src="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/01/07/magazine/07mag-subways17-cover/07mag-subways17-cover-jumbo-v2.jpg"/></a></div><br />
The brunette woman only wore her glasses and shoes for the journey, and, in place of her clothes, she decided to brazenly place words describing the pieces of attire that they would expect to see on her skin.<br />
<br />
The woman did this stunt in Dusseldorf, Germany and even managed to avoid blushing when she boarded the train to her work after purchasing a ticket as any normal citizen would do.<br />
<br />
However, those around her were incredibly shocked though and could be seen gawking in surprise at the female’s actions. This entire ordeal is part of a project by Swiss artist, Milo Moire.<br />
<br />
It is entitled, The Script System, and has been designed to shake up the “ordinary.” Moire remarked that the models’ walk around the vehicle in the nude was supposed to make people think outside the box on their daily commute to work.<br />
<br />
Moire wrote on his website, “Radical nudity becomes the defence shield against the stereotypes and makes the artist invisible.” <br />
<br />
Moire also describes his art, “With expressive and yet effortless acting randomly concept art, no tied to materials than its own body, Milo represents the moire thinking dictates of everyday life in question. They used bare skin as an ambivalent character of nakedness, for the culturally rooted contempt of denudation, the collective vulnerability and as a symbol of the universal longing for closeness. Leaving to breathtaking vulnerability, suddenly creates a protective, almost private room … even in a tram.”<br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
The young Greek student artist from the Ionian University, Corfu, Greece, crafted a typography series as graceful as it is sensual, dubbed "Naked Silhouette Alphabet."
<br />
Each letter is carefully formed from her own body pressed up against a steamy plate of glass, with a voyeuristic appeal somewhere between Francesca Woodman's photographs and the shower scene from "Psycho." We haven't seen such a NSFW take since Alex Merto's "Effing Typeface."<br />
Through the art of photography Greek artist Anastasia Mastrakouli creates unique typography by incorporating the bare human figure. These naked silhouettes form gestures to create each letter of the alphabet as they interact and press against the pane of wet glass. The identities of the figures are obscured by the surrounding water and panel adding symmetry to the overall appearance of the letters. Mastrakouli’s work exposes the connection between typography, art, and the human figure in a new and unique way.<br />

<center><img SRC="https://assets.vice.com/content-images/contentimage/118467/THE%20ATTENDANTS_10.jpg" width="500"></center><a href="http://adf.ly/M9smk">Myrto Papadopoulou</a> has been exploring the world of the Sex industry in Greece through her lens.<br />
<a name='more'></a>
The reason, which made her launch this study, was the immediate increase of porn films in Greece in 2009 at the beginning of the financial crisis. Her curiosity to understand this phenomenon, led her to explore the world of the sex industry and take it even further by entering the world of prostitution.<br />
<br />
Prostitution in Greece is only legal in licensed bordellos, where sex workers are required to get regular health checks. Most of the 15,000 prostitutes in Greece work illegally and have caused a sharp rise of Sexually transmitted diseases.<br />
<br />
<center><img SRC="https://assets.vice.com/content-images/contentimage/118463/THE%20ATTENDANTS_03.jpg" width="500"></center><br />
Many people are involved in the sex industry, some by choice but others by force. Greece continues to be on the primary gateways for illegal immigrants to enter the European Union and is described as a key entry point for people smuggling networks. One report suggests up to 90% of victims trafficked into the European member states will end up in the sex industry.<br />
<br />
Having said all this what is the difference between prostitution and trafficking? The primary distinction made between sex trafficking and prostitution in relevant literature is that sex trafficking is involuntary while prostitution is voluntary. However, the reality is very different and not so straightforward. <br />
<br />
Greece has thorough and commendable law regarding the issue of human trafficking and prostitution. However the awareness of such legislation by officials (migration officers and prosecutors) and law enforcement is minimal due to the lack of training and education regarding this legislation and provisions. Therefore, often there is no understanding of how to handle a situation but also who may be an actual victim. This, as a general result, can raise a social ignorance upon the issues of prostitution and trafficking.<br />
<br />
<center><img SRC="https://assets.vice.com/content-images/contentimage/118464/THE%20ATTENDANTS_08.jpg" width="500"></center><br />
Furthermore, why have the Sexually transmitted diseases have increased? Is it due to the lack of awareness on this issue? According to the Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the rate of Aids in Greece has gone up 60 percent since 2010. <br />
<br />
These questions and issues have enforced her to delve in even more today and start a new exploration on the lives of women prostitutes.<br />
<br />
<center><img SRC="https://assets.vice.com/content-images/contentimage/118466/THE%20ATTENDANTS_18.jpg" width="500"></center><br />
Through this project, her aim is to present by photographing and filming the world of prostitution and trafficking in Greece. Raise peoples awareness and point out the health issues that have arisen from the increase of the sexually transmitted diseases.<br />
<br />
METHOD<br />
Initially, her natural necessity was to enter the world of the sex industry and talk to the women that are involved in it. It has taken her a really long time and effort to reach out to some of these women, to gain their trust and get finally the access today to document their lives. Also her intensive research (I.e. approaching NGO's, doctors and expertise from the ministry of foreign affairs) has helped her to understand more the issues and the difference between prostitution and trafficking. Throughout the year she will be working voluntarily with the "Salvation Army", in Greece, in order to provide support to these women. She will also be teaching photography lessons in one of the new "safe houses" that will be opening in Athens, within the next year. <br />

YOUR SUPPORT<br />
Your support will enable her not only to continue this project but mostly it will help her gain more insight into the understanding of how and why prostitution is constantly evolving. Her deep personal interest in these women, make her want to record their struggle but also their strive in search of a better life. It is also one of her fondest heart's desires, to be able to share with these women her experiences through photography, because she believes photography can be an effective tool of building self-esteem.<br />

A picture speaks a thousand words. And with countless other individuals trying to seek other singles, the photo may be your best armor in the online dating field. Let’s be honest. Girls can write the most charming “About Me” page but no one will read it if her photo wasn’t interesting enough in the first place. The same is true when these girls are seeking out “datable” guys. So what makes for a great photo on internet dating sites? To help you find out, we compiled a few tips below. <a name='more'></a> 1. Smile! – When someone flashes her pearly whites at you, it makes you feel special. At the very least, it makes you want to respond with a big smile of your own. The same is true in online dating communication. People want to connect with happy people. Subconsciously, they want someone who can make them happy as well. Grin and save the leave the pouty shots at the dustbin. 2.Dress Casually – formal pictures are usually a turn off. Well, that tux shot from the wedding you attended might be alright but try not to post a picture with you in a strict corporate outfit. It will make you look too serious and no fun to be with. Instead, posting pictures of the “real” you might be a good idea. It is best to post shots of you doing some type of sport or having fun on a night out. 3.Avoid Too-Hot Shots – as you’ve probably heard, there is a line between sexy and slutty. Don’t post “exotic” pictures of yourself unless it is your goal to find singles with naughtiness in mind. Also, it is a come-on for scam artists, maniacs, and people with some kind of mental problem. It sends out a signal you wish didn’t give. 4.Stop Posting Old Photos – this does no good to you or the single you’re interested in. In free dating sites, it is easy to pretend to be someone you’re not but this temptation should be resisted. If you gained 10-pounds in the last year, don’t be ashamed of it – do something about it! But don’t trick people in the process. Likewise, posting 20 year old shots of yourself is another form of misrepresentation. <center><img SRC="http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/zz218/hot_alexia/N_W2003--206768-p-2c093a169725726a33945cc728617a85f809f7f0e2ab4a059cc20e391a638fdf.jpg" width="450"> </center>Hopefully, the tips below will help you avoid disaster when visiting free dating websites.

So you finally decided to take the plunge and join a personals web site, good for you. Now if you're like most people you'll be sat there staring at the profile and ad form and wondering just what should you write. I know from experience that those profiles can be a bitch to write at worst, partly because many of us myself included have difficulty writing about ourselves. With that in mind below I've listed some tips and hints I wrote this rough guide to writing effective personal ads.<a name='more'></a>
<b>Selling yourself:</b> Think about it when you write a personal ad selling yourself is exactly what you are doing. In order to do that you need to stand out from the crowd. I know how hard it can be to achieve that and I've spent many hours perfecting my profile on various sites in order to get the best results and more importantly the type of people I want to answer my ads to take notice of them.
Take a look at other profiles and find a few that grab your attention, then sit down and work out why and how they grabbed you and made you read more. Maybe they were funny, maybe it was the honesty you found good but whatever the reason they grabbed you and pulled you in. Try and identify that element that pulled you in and use it in your own ad.
<center>The Basics</center>
<center><IMG SRC="http://www.coolestpicture.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/coolest_misc_45.jpg" width="450"> </center>
<b>Be Honest:</b> This maybe the Internet but you are looking to actually meet someone from this ad so be honest from the start. If you use a photo use a current one for example. If you're 36 then say so, if you really are a brain surgeon then fine but if not don't go there. You may think you're life is boring and no one will want you but embellishing the truth or simply lying will get you nowhere.
<b>Choosing A Handle Or Nick:</b> Many web sites give you the opportunity to choose your own handle, nick/name. Think about your choice before you make it. Which of these sounds more enticing and gives the viewer the most information for example:
Dave5900000
Kansas Toto
<b>Your Ad Title:</b> Again this is something you should give some serious thought to as on many sites as you browse this is all people see before they click through to read your actual profile/ad. Make it simple, catchy but descriptive. For example if I lived in Kansas and was male I might title an ad:
Kansas Man looking for his Dorothy.
Or I could take it a step further and Use the nick Kansas Toto and make my title read: Lost in Kansas looking for my Dorothy. I'm sure you're getting the idea by now. By choosing a nick that you can play with and incorporate into your title you are more likely to grab potential partners attention and that's what the purpose of a good ad is.
<center>The Ad Itself:</center>
<center><IMG SRC="http://www.canadaka.net/modules/My_eGallery/gallery/funnypics/want_ads.jpg" width="450"> </center>
<b>Use a Spell checker!:</b> Sounds simple when I write it but you'd be surprised at the amount of ads I've seen with basic spelling mistakes. Don't forget the first thing I wrote about here this is about selling yourself. So you didn't get an Yale education but that doesn't mean you can't spell. Impressions count and your ad is the first impression someone will have of you.
Never write in all caps: It's annoying to read and in Internet "language" it implies your shouting. Although, that maybe fine in a crowded night club, in the world of internet personnel's it's annoying.
<b>POST A PHOTO:</b> Statistics show that an ad with a photo is 80% more likely to get a response. A photo that shows you relaxed and having fun, no matter what you look like, is even better. Don't use a photo that's 10 years old, people want to see what you look like now. Don't stress about your looks... attraction is about more than looks and it's why you're spending time writing your ad.
<b>You're More Than Your Body:</b> Many personal sites allow you space to list your physical attributes and most people will glance through them, although if you've added a photo their really is no need to. While looks are to some extent important to many of us when we are looking for a potential partner, far more important is the personality behind those stats.
Concentrate on telling potential respondents about you rather than the color of your hair or eyes. Many ads limit the amount of lines you have to use so make the most of what you have. Have you ever really dated someone just for their eye color? OK, maybe you have spectacular eyeballs. But ads tend to reel off personal stats... and then stop there, as though there was nothing but a body. Talk about who you are first, and what you look like at the end. Want to know the number one thing surveyed women look for in a guy? A sense of humor.
Be Positive. Your ad is not the place to list all the things that drove you nuts about your ex and how you won't put up with that again. Don't list what you don't want... discuss what you DO want. Be creative turn what could be considered faults with a little lateral thinking into positives. So you're a workaholic, how about, "life keeps me busy so my personal time is really special. "
<b>Favorite Things:</b> Rather than making a breathtaking list of all your favorite things, concentrate on one or two and really play them up. If for example you enjoy hiking, use it to your advantage and incorporate it into your main ad. "Would love to meet partner who shares my love of walking," for example, although I'm sure you can do far better than that!
<b>General Rules:</b> NEVER, NEVER, EVER include your address, phone number or last name in a personal ad. This might seem like common sense but I've seen people include this info in personal's before. Some personal sites have rules that ask you not to post e-mail address or web addresses, make sure you follow the sites guide lines. Your ad will be removed and that's a waste when you've spent so much time writing it. In general read the sites guidelines and you'll be fine.
Which reminds me, keep a copy of any ad you write, especially if you're using web sites to advertise. I know from experience servers crash and data gets lost.
Above all remember to be yourself when you write your ad. You may think you're boring but I'm willing to bet that with a little thought you can bring out your best qualities and show a potential partner that you have something unique to offer them: Yourself!

So you’re thinking of asking your true love to marry you? Well congratulations on getting this far!<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
If you’re like most guys, then I’m sure you’re agonizing over exactly How To Propose Marriage! Remember that 80% of women polled were disappointed with their engagement proposal. Also I’m sure you realize that when women announce to their friends that they’re now engaged, the first thing they are always asked is “How did he propose?” This can put enormous pressure on men to get it right so luckily we are here to help! We have some great Engagement Proposal Ideas, but which ever idea you go for, it is important to remember these things:<br />
<br />
1. If you take an idea from a website or a suggestion from anywhere else, make sure you don’t make it a carbon copy. Make it unique to the two of you, using your own memories and shared experiences and not somebody else’s.<br />
<br />
2. It’s not all about how much you spend on the proposal! Some of the Best Engagement Proposal Ideas ideas are the least expensive!<br />
<br />
3. Consider the kind of girl she is! If she’s the shy type then she might not appreciate a public proposal at a sporting event! If she’s an extravert then proposing during an intimate dinner may be disappointing for her!<br />
<br />
4. Make sure to include little touches that are really meaningful to the two of you ie; where you met, how you met, the first flowers you bought her, the first movie you watched or meal you cooked her, perhaps even an anniversary! These are the little details she will be telling her friends and will remember forever!<br />
<br />
5. If you’re thinking about proposing on holiday then stop and think why! Have the two of you been there before and shared in a special experience there? It’s far better to propose at the spot you first met or had your first picnic than flying across the world to propose somewhere you’ve never been!<br />
<br />
6. You will need to plan you proposal out in every minute detail! Don’t leave anything to chance. Have a contingency plan in case something goes wrong and above all…try and surprise her! You will be more likely to successfully surprise her if you think about every detail and little mishap that might happen!<br />
<br />
I hope the following engagement proposal ideas give you inspiration and that<br />
she says yes! </span>Burgoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02681311524790560190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926101561899671119.post-48589542322092029612012-03-06T11:10:00.000-08:002012-03-06T11:10:13.440-08:00The 10 Rules Of Dating<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><center> <img SRC="http://damascusian.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/dating-illustration-ted-crowjpg-514eed5be7d4156a.jpg" width="450"> </center>I don't know about you but I've had a few disastrous dates over the years which is why I decided to write this simple list of do's and don'ts I've discovered over the years. This is not a definitive guide but following these simple rules are more likely to see you on a second or third date than not following them.<a name='more'></a> <br />
<br />
<b>Rule 1:</b> Be On Time: While this might sound obvious, I've had a few dates in the past that have turned up late and worse than that they haven't even given me a good explanation as to why or called to let me know they were on their way. There is nothing worse than sitting outside a movie theater or restaurant alone, especially if you're female.<br />
Allocate enough time when you leave for your date and make a good impression from the start. If you are going to be late due to traffic let you're date know if possible.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 2:</b> Honesty Pays. Honesty is a good way to start a possible relationship so don't lie to your date. If you really are a brain surgeon or astronaut then great, if not then don't tell them you are. Think about it, if you lie on your first date, and you do connect again, you'll need to remember those lies in a weeks time, then 12 weeks later, can you really keep that up and your lies straight. Eventually they will catch up with you and it's far better to start on a truthful footing.<br />
That's not to say that omitting some information is bad, but if your date asks you something point blank then for your own sakes as well as theirs tell the truth.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 3:</b> Make An Effort: This might sound obvious but taking a little time to have a bath/shower, can go a long way to saying something about you as a person to you're date. Take the time to prepare for this date, it's important to remember that first impressions do count here.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 4:</b> Don't Drink and Date: I'm not saying you shouldn't drink on a date here, what I am saying is moderation is everything. A good rule to follow is limit yourself to one drink an hour, if you really must drink at all. There is nothing less attractive than a date that over the course of the night ends up drunker than a skunk, reeks of booze and can't even drive you home!<br />
Even worse is someone who turns up on a date drunk in the first place. Watching your partner for the night staggering down the road towards you, doesn't inspire anyone with confidence and first impressions do count!<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 5:</b> Do Not Talk About Your Ex! Talking about your ex all night is a definite turn off for most people when it comes to dating. So okay you still hold a torch for him or her but think about it. If your date did this to you how would you feel?<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 6:</b> I want to have your children! I'd rather go on a date with an axe murderer than someone who declares their undying love for me 10 minutes into a date and is prepared to set a wedding date that night. I'm not alone in this thinking either according to surveys.<br />
Most of us are looking for longer term relationships when we first date but there is nothing quite as disconcerting as a date who talks about nothing but settling down and marriage on a first date. I want to get to know you a little better, even if I think you could just be Mr/Mrs Right, let's just see how it goes okay?<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 7:</b> Turn Your Cell Phone Off! This might sound obvious but there is nothing more annoying than trying to talk to someone with a cell phone that's ringing. Voice messaging was invented for a reason, use it! If the call was that important the person will always leave a message so you really have no excuse here.<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 8:</b> Pay Attention. Listen to what you're date is saying when they talk. Make them feel like the center of attention. This is closely linked to body language but think about how you would feel if your date spent all night constantly looking out the window and paid you very little attention. You've spent the time getting to know this person well enough to ask for their time don;t you think that time deserves your full attention now?<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 9:</b> Play It Cool. Unless you're looking for nothing more than a one-night stand, keep the sexual comments and actions down to a minimum. When you're first getting to know someone for the first time, try and keep conversations and activities on a platonic level. This is you're chance to impress them with your honesty not be all over them sexually like a bad rash -) )<br />
<br />
<b>Rule 10:</b> Don't Bitch and Moan! Don't whine about everything when you're out on a first date. So you've had a crappy day at work, leave it there and enjoy the evening with your date. Nothing kills a conversation or mood quicker than your date continually whining about everything and yes I've experienced a few of these myself and they are so not fun!<br />

<br />
Don't just assume that you should get fresh flowers!<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://weddings-place.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Silk-Wedding-Bouquets.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
There are many good reasons for why you might choose to get silk flowers instead...<br />
Probably the biggest benefit of silk flowers, is the cost. Usually, a silk flower bouquet will end up being considerably cheaper than a fresh flower bouquet. It's much cheaper to make a silk flower, than it is for a farmer to carefully grow a fresh flower in their garden, and then for a florist to look after it!<br />
<br />
Another benefit of using silk flowers in your wedding bouquet, is that after you are married, you can keep the bouquet, as a reminder of the happy day. You can also keep fresh flower bouquets, but to do this they will need to be preserved, which can be quite expensive.<br />
<br />
Finally, with silk bouquets, you can actually try making the bouquet yourself! Although it's quite easy to make bouquets, it can be hard with real flowers, and it's much easier for beginners if they are using silk flowers instead.<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://aboutwedding.gr/admin/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Red-Wedding-Bouquet-2.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
There are a few benefits to using real flowers though..<br />
The main benefit is the smell. Even if you spray them with perfume, a silk bouquet will never smell as nice as a fresh flower bouquet.<br />
<br />
Another benefit of fresh flower wedding bouquets is that there are a lot more places to buy the flowers, and it can be easier to get more variety. This depends on where you shop though. If you can find somewhere local to you that sells silk flowers, or you buy them online, then silk flowers can be just as easy to get as fresh.<br />
<br />
But wait a second...<br />
<br />
Aren't I forgetting the most important thing? That fresh flowers LOOK a lot better than silk?<br />
Well, this may have been true once, but these days, it's quite easy to get beautiful silk flowers, that are indistinguishable from the real thing. I've personally made quite a few silk-flower bouquets that people have tried smelling, because they thought the flowers were real!<br />
<br />
Ultimately it's up to you to decide what type of wedding bouquet you want. All I can suggest is that you don't jump into it, and give silk-flowers serious consideration, as they have many benefits. After all, the smell from a fresh-flower wedding bouquet will only last for a few days, anyway!<br />

One major environmental influence is mobile communication, which has changed the way people meet each other and get to know each other. It is in this day and age that the concept of text flirting has been introduced to singles.<a name='more'></a> <br />
<br />
What is text flirting? In a nutshell, it is simply a way of getting to know someone with a romantic future in mind via texting. Thanks to mobile phones, it is now possible to form a possible romantic relationship through text flirting. This method of flirting has enabled the forming of many romantic partnerships across the globe, thanks to its convenience and the mystery, excitement and thrill it provides.<br />
<br />
Text flirting gives many couples-to-be the opportunity to be brazen and open to each other, as face-to-face communication is not involved when discussing topics of a sensitive nature. You can now get to know someone without feeling any barriers of consciousness as text flirting is, in a way, just like writing an instantaneous letter to a romantic prospect. It is just like having a conversation—but without having to do it face-to-face.<br />
<br />
However, text flirting also has its own protocol, which all users must follow. Just as there are rules in a first date, you must also follow some guidelines when using this flirting method to ensure that the prospects of securing a steady, romantic and stable relationship with your text mate is in the books.<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://theneave.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/4869719269_99a9789972_b.jpeg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
First, remember that while you are allowed to be as open and as brazen as possible, don’t ask a sensitive question after just 10 minutes of texting. If you are after a real relationship, then this is not the way to do it, as the person you are texting may write you off as overwhelming and overly aggressive. Lead into it slowly; when you feel that you have asked enough shallow questions to progress into more sensitive ones, then that is the time to do so.<br />
<br />
Text flirting is not a license to enter into a rushed relationship. While its concept has many implied negative meanings, this doesn’t necessarily mean you have to succumb to these notions. You can get to know someone and build a relationship over text and take your sweet time, enjoying the entire process without taking the fun and thrill out of it. While some do like it rushed, those who are after something serious will want to take their time.<br />
<br />
It is exciting to see what other communication tools will crop up in the future, what with all the new methods mobile communication is offering today. Hopefully, the essence of relationships will not be drastically changed over time.</span>Burgoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02681311524790560190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926101561899671119.post-10019271569240706802012-02-14T06:12:00.004-08:002012-03-01T04:48:54.310-08:00What Makes A Relationship A Box Of Chocolates?<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><center> <img SRC="http://www.chocablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/valentines-hearts-7.jpg" width="450"> </center>I love you. What a punch these three simple words can bring – if it's delivered the right way.<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The thing is, some people just can't say it comfortably without the words tripping out of their mouths. You'd think they'll morph and turn into ogres, the way they squirm and go around beating around the bush before finally saying the words.<br />
<br />
Then there are also those who openly say the words but don't really mean it. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter if they do or don't say the words. What matters is that a relationship remains honest and happy.<br />
<br />
What are the things that make a relationship work anyway? The same factors work for all kinds of relationship. Whether it's a relationship between lovers, among family members, friends, office workers, and business partners, the same foundations apply for it to work.<br />
<br />
If a pillar is missing, the whole thing crumbles. Three pillars make up the foundation. We call the three pillars The Relationship Tripod.<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://claudiadenobrega.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/box-of-cscoh.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
Let us discuss them in detail:<br />
<br />
<b>The Companionship Leg</b><br />
First, it must be understood that a relationship requires at least two people for it to exist, let alone work. You must be visible to the other person.<br />
If the relationship is long distance, you must at least feel that the other one is there. It won't do any good to take the other's existence for granted and count on the other to check up on you. You must also show compassion.<br />
If you keep up the show of indifference, it just spells failure. The other person needs to sense your feelings for them. Show them kindness, gentleness, sensitivity - anything that shows you care for them. It's not that hard to say "I'm always here for you," is it? Whoever receives this show of affection must give something back. Everyone must do his or her part in a relationship because it's a give and take condition.<br />
<br />
<b>The Compromise Leg</b><br />
As mentioned earlier, a relationship is a give-and-take situation. Not all people are made alike; even if two people are so uncannily similar, there might still exist small differences that could spark an argument.<br />
This is why an agreement has to be reached on every argument, whether petty or vital. All kinds are important, especially when it comes to a relationship. Someone has to win and someone has to give in. This is why the discussion of differences is so essential.<br />
Discuss the disparity: What is the problem? Why is it a problem? Who should compromise and adjust to the problem? All these should be resolved. Conceding sometimes doesn't make you a loser; rather, it goes to show how important a relationship is to you. "I guess you're right." These words could be the balm of your disputes.<br />
<br />
<b>The Communication Leg</b><br />
There would be no discussion of differences, no showing of affection, and no saying of words without communication. This third and last leg is probably the most vital in a relationship. It enables us to know what the other party feels and what is needed to make the partnership work.<br />
It gives us the ability to say the words that are wanted and needed. In short, the other two legs won't happen if the last one isn't present. Just a small act of communication could go a long way in improving a relationship.<br />
You can do simple things like writing a small note on a piece of paper, or writing short emails at least occasionally. Do something to give truth to your existence and your relationship. Don't take this for granted, because a lot of relationships crumble due to lack of any contact.<br />
Take the long distance relationship, for instance. A lot fail, but some succeed because they make contact with each other almost every day. Even business associates keep in contact by sending each other progress reports.<br />
<br />
Any form of relationship is a box of chocolates, as Forrest Gump puts it. Some tastes good and some don't. Overall, the experience of having a box of chocolates gives you a good feeling because eating each and every piece of chocolate gives an experience - an experience of bitterness, sweetness, or even bitter-sweetness. You don't get every flavor that you desire in a box.<br />
<br />

<br />
So if you are looking for a relationship that is easy on the heart and mind, get ready for the harsh reality. It entails the effort of everyone involved for it to work well.<br />

<br />
<b>Definition of Infidelity</b><br />
According to the dictionary, infidelity means unfaithfulness to a sexual partner, and in layman terms this simply means that your girlfriend / wife or your boyfriend/husband could be cheating on you for someone else. No marriage, no matter how rich, religious, political or powerful, is immune to the threat of unfaithfulness, so say experts who give advice on how to survive infidelity.<br />
<br />
<b>Relationship Infidelity</b><br />
Infidelity in a marriage or in relationship is a bitter pill to swallow. Not simply because we strive to make our relationships thrive and survive in an all-challenging world, but because nobody, including you, can live along successfully with this lie! Infidelity in relationship can happen to you!.<br />
Relationship infidelity is cruel and shows no mercy to the one left out in the cold. It doesn't really matter if you are married or attached, it is a symbol of the worst destruction to your life and soul which is yet to unleash to the unexpecting you. This cheating infidelity is a symbolic of having your deepest fears and doubts exposed.<br />
<br />
Do you know that there was a poll conducted to the Americans during the President Clinton's "intern" scandal? These infidelity statistics obtained were somewhat shocking<br />
<br />
22 percent of men and 14 percent of women admitted to having sexual relations or infidelity adultery outside their marriage sometime in the past.<br />
<br />
About 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an affair at some point in some marriage, according to "Monogamy Myth", Therapist Peggy Vaugn.<br />
<br />
5 percent of married men and 3 percent of married women reported having sex with someone other than their spouse in a sexual infidelity survey conducted on 1997.<br />
<br />
17 percent divorces in the United States are caused by marital infidelity.<br />
<br />

<br />
Is your lover playing cheat on you at the time of reading this?<br />
If you were to confront your lovers at "point blank", it will definitely jeopardize your current relationship. No matter what sort of hardship you are facing now suspecting your lover of relationship infidelity, there are often the smarter ways on how you would determine your case to be true. Surely there must be some ways to put your mind at ease for once and for all if you suspect that your spouse is cheating you for another man.<br />
<br />
How to catch a cheater<br />
Here are the smart ways to detect signs of wife infidelity. Remember, the future of your relationship could depend on your ability to spot the telltale signs in time.<br />
<br />
<b>Sudden good appearance:</b><br />
First impressions always count. Remember when the days you met each other, you would normally go all out to dress up, being sensitive to your attire/wardrobe, even your personal grooming to that you would look nice in front of each other? Well, the fact that these things do happen to each if not most of us, it is often the best telltale sign on whether your partner is trying to impress or attract someone.<br />
<br />
<b>Is your partner treating you differently?</b><br />
When your partner is involved with someone else, it is often than not your partner will start to treat you differently from how he/she used to. Even on the subconscious level, this could be detrimental to your current relationship. Hence, it is easy for you to pick up this alarming sign when the time comes.<br />
<br />
<b>A new mood of conversation?</b><br />
Let's say your wife used to talk about cooking and spend most of her time in front of her cookery and gadgets, then suddenly you notice a sudden swing of mood in her. She now talks about grooming, talks about cars, or even start to dabble with wine or alcohol which she never used to. Well, ask yourself, could there be someone else who might be influencing her? Could the stuff that she normally talks about, places that she normally goes relate to the person she's hiding from you?<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://www.spycenter.com/images/uploaded/categories/image/iStock_000000387617XSmall.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
<b>More overtime?</b><br />
Let's face it. How many of us who are working for people would rather stay in the office till wee hours than slouching ourselves in front of the idiot box (TV)? Your partner would normally drives back home at close to 6 o'clock in the evening. Eventually at 7 o'clock, 8.30 pm, 10 or even not going back home? Hmmm..it is a well known understanding that your lover's working habits will undoubtly change as her affair unfolds. Be on the lookout for work-related tell tale signs.<br />
<br />
<b>No time! No time! No time!</b><br />
Just as infidelity cost your partner money, it may as well ended up causing your lovers time. Remember that we are all granted by God only 24 hours a day. So it's not surprising that your partner would try to steal the time away from you just to be with her lover.<br />
<br />
<b>Business traveling.</b><br />
Travelling for business is the most common excuses for the cheating lovers as well as being the best getaway from you. Even if your lover really on business traveling, it is often the best practice to afford a cheating lover a chance to literally sway away from you.<br />
<br />
<b>Telephone conversion behaviour</b><br />
More often than not, illicit affairs often take place through the phone. Many foolish lovers take the risk of calling their partners at home or having their partners call them at home. Much to my surprise, many husbands ended up discovering their partners' infidelity either directly or indirectly by the telephone.<br />
<br />
<b>Your dwindling sex life</b><br />
Let's face it. The moment your partner goes after her secret lover, do you think she might be interest in you? What more in having sex with you? God knows how attractive the secret lover to her. So it's crucial for you to be on alert for any type of changes or frequency of your sex life together.<br />
<br />
<b>Smell like an animal!</b><br />
Each person has his or her own unique smell or taste. At first, you might not notice it, but when the time comes, you would feel completely different smell or taste. Remember that every lovers out there would do anything to make their first impression better? It could be their bodily smell or cologne which may attract to each other which is the reason behind the change of smell. Friendly advice, be on close guard. This is a warning sign for you.<br />
<br />
<b>Invasion of your home:</b><br />
It's quite common for your partner to end up with her lover in your home. When this happens, pay close attention to all the items or belongings which were left behind. Scour and collect these crucial evidence in everywhere in your house that you could possible imagine.<br />
<br />
<b>Gifts but not from you?</b><br />
At times you would end up finding a gifts which were not from you. Look out for these telltale signs especially near Valentine's day or Christmas. If they are not from you, then who else?<br />
<br />
<b>Email usage</b><br />
What does it tell you that all of a sudden you see your partner having an interest in using the computer? What else does this indicate when she's using more emails than she is talking to you? Chances are this may as well indicate the involvement of her online or cyber affair. Don't take this lightly as most of the time these affairs can be detrimental to your marriage. Emotional attachment can be extremely strong, and could progress from cyberspace to physical reality.<br />

<br />
<b>Sudden spike of handphone bills.</b><br />
With the advent of technology advancement in telecommunications, it's no wonder that life has been easier for both you and your partner to communicate at any point of time. But beware, this could also be a great opportunity for your partner to stay in touch of her secret lover.<br />
<br />
<b>The physical evidence waiting to be found.</b><br />
Most of the time the physical evidence indication of your lover's secret life can be easily found in front of your eyes. When your partner is not available, check her handbags, her wastepaper basket, her filling cabinets, drawers, or any other sort of place you could think of. Keep your eyes open. With luck, you could find yourself a new sets of physical evidence of infidelity you can find.<br />
<br />
<b>How would your partner behave in front of others?</b><br />
Studies and reports have indicated that most men will likely have an affair with someone he already knows, either from the women he normally comes in contact with, or even business associates. Try to be observant, as at times your partner may behave strangely in front of these people.<br />

Since the 1967 legalization of interracial marriage, the number of mixed race marriages has more or less doubled with each passing decade.<a name='more'></a> <br />
<br />
There are currently over 1.6 million interracial marriages in the United States and that figure is forecasted to continue rising. For the most part, relationships between races are no different than the interactions between people of the same race. There are however, certain issues such as faith, cultural traditions and racism that can cause tension and discomfort in the relationship.<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://cf.ltkcdn.net/dating/images/std/77590-425x299-InterracialRelationships.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
Over 70% of American society has no problem with mixed race relationships, thus proving that people are starting to overcome racial stereotypes. Over 40% of Americans have already dated someone of another ethnicity and are pioneering a revolution in the dating scene. Many high school and college students are dating interracially, which is helping to increase awareness of mixed race relationships. Unfortunately, many of these relationships go unnoticed because the couples feel that either friends or family will not approve. Secret mixed race romances often occur because the parents are strict and forbid or discourage dating outside of one's culture. Parents are often the perpetrators of stereotypes and racism. Many parents force their children to date within their culture, in order to avoid betraying their own cultural roots.<br />
<br />
Successful relationships often result in marriage, and the wedding plans themselves can be a major struggle. Some couples choose to avoid cultural tradition altogether, some choose to have two separate weddings in order to celebrate both traditions properly, and some try to compromise by combining cultural customs and creating their own. When preparing for interracial weddings, many of the parents feel that their cultural traditions are being denied and can cause problems. Including the families in the decision making process is a great way to keep everyone communicating and feeling happy.<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://www.pinstripemag.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/interracial-couple.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
Once married, mixed race couples face more decisions concerning holiday traditions, religious worship and children. It is important to talk about where holidays will take place and which traditions they will choose to celebrate. Many couples choose to worship either separately or they will find a different faith that suits them both. Issues concerning children, and how they will be raised both in faith and cultural are also major concerns for mixed race parents. The mixed race children should also be taught how to deal with racism.<br />
<br />
Almost all interracial families encounter racism in some shape or form. Many of these families will benefit from dealing with tough problems, like racism and will experience improved family strength and problem solving abilities. While there are many issues faced by those in interracial relationships, the friendships and romances are often worthwhile and fulfilling.<br />

Many of us have had break ups in the past and now desire to go forward. Something destroys every new relationship. What is that?<a name='more'></a> Because if you find that your every new relationship is breaking apart, you will start searching for faults in yourself. The truth may lie somewhere else.<br />
<br />
<b>What happens after a break up?</b><br />
<center> <img SRC="http://img.ehowcdn.com/article-page-main/ehow/images/a05/3k/mn/forget-past-relationship-800x800.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
This depends largely upon the intensity of the earlier relationship. More intense the love, more hurt will result after the break up. And if your break up took place because of unfaithfulness of your partner, it will hurt you still more. The memories of time shared will haunt forever. A look at something shared will bring in an avalanche of past memories and will take away your peace in a moment. The past can be very destructive. It kills the person, it kills the present and the future. It can haunt one forever.<br />
<br />
<b>How to come out of it?</b><br />
<center> <img SRC="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IDV2aI4sQXg/TIsr-QRs24I/AAAAAAAAAIU/v8jPmqZkHpE/s1600/Recovering+from+Rape+Advice.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
There are no easy ways out of this. Some of us will never come out of the grief for our lifetime. One method that can help is this. Imagine a reservoir of emotions. Imagine of many reservoirs. In one, you have your longing for the one you lost. In another you store your memories of good times. In yet another you have stored pain that you are suffering from. In this manner imagine of many reservoirs. Till they are emptied, you will not become new. Am i right? What is to be done? Please empty them out. It will take time, in some cases many years, but you can empty them if you really want. Live through all your longing again and empty that reservoir. Similarly cry as much as you can and fell the hurt the lost love has given you. Experience everything fully, suffer from all the pain and try to empty out all that is in your heart.<br />
<br />
This is very painful. But if you want to live again, please do this. Many of us hide our hurt, avoid thinking about the good moments shared together and in all possible ways try to be so busy that the feelings don't come out at all. But the feelings are very much there inside eating away our vitals. These feelings will never allow you to move forward in a positive way. Please remove everything from the mind and the heart by reliving and go forward. You may no longer feel the hurt and the pain with the same intensity, but it will be very difficult to fall in love with another person again with the earlier intensity. Please accept this fact. Your beloved you left you has taken away something very vital from you - your faith in goodness of human beings. But after emptying out totally, you will at least be come a normal person, who can carry on life if not like a robot, than like a person without any feelings. </span>Burgoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02681311524790560190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926101561899671119.post-38016667335668435412012-02-05T03:43:00.000-08:002012-02-05T03:43:42.565-08:00Are You a Jealous Lover?<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><center> <img SRC="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiChy21U5GhZSkkuTsjhyphenhyphenIJrM1KoRvFg9IgFMZ32s9JwgbHtAkrv_uXANe2tizOgeDlxi5k8IarcdRU7x_q5V89guIGackoBl7QzWhDZDBGciZeG1FNGHj1NRWBmr8wLzGy5sEz2JYN24c/s1600/Grumpy06.jpg" width="450"> </center>What do you do when that little, green eyed monster, as it's so often called, jealousy bites you? It can happen to the best of couples, no matter what stage your relationship is in. Sometimes, it feels like there is no defense against this ridge building phenomenon. Most people are not jealous by nature but jealousy is usually put into action by some event, situation or another person.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
If you are insecure about your relationship and very dependent on your lover you are likely to be jealous. After jealousy creeps in we begin to spy on our lover, worrying about the situation and reviewing the evidence. Suspicion is a strong emotion here.<br />
<br />
If we decide there is a threat to our love, we can have a very wide range of responses like clinging dependency, violent rage at the competitor or the partner, self-criticism, and depression with suicidal thoughts. But is there any way to conquer this feeling and overcome jealousy?<br />
<br />
<center><b>Here are some ways you can handle jealousy</b></center><br />
<br />
1. Isolate the cause of jealousy. You may think that jealousy is caused by your partner looking sexy or by a certain person at work. But that isn't the real cause. That is just a symptom. Try to understand what the real cause is, so that you can then work on finding a solution.<br />
<br />
2. Focus on eliminating one jealousy trigger. You also need to realise that jealousy can be overcome easily. So start out by focusing on an activity where you work through one of the main triggers for your jealousy and try to find the cause.<br />
<br />
3. Build up your self-esteem. Most of the jealousy situations are caused by the jealous lovers feeling that they are not good enough for their partners. They feel inadequate and they feel that their partner would leave them for someone else, if given half a chance. So one key thing to work on is to build up your self-esteem. </span>Burgoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02681311524790560190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926101561899671119.post-64602279361497173932012-02-04T10:00:00.000-08:002012-02-04T10:01:48.885-08:00How Much Are You Dependent On Your Marriage?<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><center> <img SRC="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQ-nZlhxlSiOUdszlSfCGn-0x9qsTuSiG3CGj9-rioJhKNCBFyBfXHIkI4jEOiDv4MKO1N0dA0ZhasqGRQFTWnTd3qQ0S6fgkfPmV8r_oNi23r1Et877shgMbuZwI7pyo1j947y7du2s/s1600/wedding+001.jpg" width="450"> </center>Marriage is the best form of companionship designed by mankind. After marriage a person is assured of at least one friend for life. Marriage gives some assurance that one will have a companion through thick and thin till the end. We cannot call our other friendships and relations so dependable. That is why marriage is important. All this was certainly true, few decades ago. Is it so even now? How far are you dependent on your marriage to derive satisfaction and peace in life?<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Now let us examine some personalities. For my first example I will take a man/woman who is career oriented. For whom nothing matters other than the career and achievements in the work place. What kind of married life will such a person have? One can assume that such a person will not be very dependent upon married relationship. Such a person will not undergo an unbearable shock if marriage breaks.<br />
<br />
Take another example of a person who has a large group of friends and socially networks very well. Attends all the functions, parties and celebrations thrown by friends. If someone is a typical social animal that thrives in a group of friends and invents reasons for gatherings, will he/she depend on the married life for happiness? Such people are not highly dependent on their married life for happiness. Their attitude is different.<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/money/Divorce440.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
On the other hand, let us take an example of a person who is introvert and likes to remain with and shares more time with family. Such a person is a devoted family person and may get devastated if separated or after the death of spouse.<br />
<br />
All of us derive different pleasures with different relationships. Our priorities vary. Our value system varies. Because of these differences in our personalities, marriage may or may not play a very important role in every ones life. </span>Burgoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02681311524790560190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926101561899671119.post-15984876405650767962012-01-31T12:39:00.000-08:002012-01-31T12:39:59.685-08:00Choosing a Great Wedding Favor<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><center> <img SRC="http://www.e1net.net/members/hk506jack/images/Wedding1.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />

You need the perfect favors for your perfect wedding, because it is your personal thanks statement to your guest for coming.<br />
<br />

<br />
There are many type of wedding favors, like garden wedding favors, Asian favors, beach favors, and other famous type favors. Some favors include a unique and personalized idea, like pens, boxes, candles, vases, or cameras.<br />
<br />
Choosing the right favor sometimes is difficult and sometimes is easy. Before you decide what favor you'll buy, you can go to some wedding favor online stores. There are many online stores available in internet. You can visit their website and looking around their favors. Order some examples before you decide to bulk buy the favors. Check whether the favor ordered is good enough.<br />
<br />
It is better that you choose a functional favor. You must expect that your favor will be useful for guests. Giving unuseful favor can make your favor goes to trash bin. Give the guest with personalized and useful favor, like camera, candle, pen, or other useful things.<br />
<br />
Don't spend too much. Although the favor is your personal statement, but don't spend too much. Some favors cost less than five dollar, others can cost above ten dollars. Choose a favor that fit with your pocket. Save some money for other wedding expenses. Keep find a low cost and unique wedding favor.<br />

<br />
Buy at the right amount. After you decide to bulk buy the favors, buy with right amount. You need to estimate the guest number. Don't buy too much. Don't buy too little. Approximate the guest will attend to your wedding and have some extra favors.<br />
<br />
Match the season. Yes, match with the season when your wedding ceremony will happen. If your wedding will happen at winter, you can choose winter favor. If your wedding ceremony will happen at summer, you can buy summer theme favors.<br />
<br />
Make your own. If you don't satisfy with available favor, you can make your own favor. You can design your own favor and order it to the wedding favor provider. Or you can make by yourself. Look at your own talent. When designing the favor reflect your personality. By making your own favor, you can make a very unique favor.<br />
<br />
If you want a cheap, fast, and personalized favor, you can make your own CD favor. You can record your favorite songs and burn it to CD. Create unique cover and label for the CD. Tie it with beautiful ribbon.<br />
<br />
So think what favor is fit for you. Choose the favor that reflect your personality, and buy at online stores, or you can make your own favor.<br />

It's not just exchanging rings and wedding vows, it's exchanging one lifestyle for another. Even as an engaged person you had a certain independence that meant you had some space of your own. There was a part of your day or night that you were your own person. In a marriage this more or less disappears completely.<a name='more'></a> <br />
<br />
No matter how much freedom you have in your marriage, how flexible the boundaries – you still have to remember that there is now someone else that you must keep 100% in your life-loop! If you're going to be late from work, you need to make sure your husband/wife knows. If you aren't going to be home for supper, they need to know. If you aren't going to be able to get the dry cleaning on the way home, and it's needed for the next day, they need to know so they can go get it! This is a major life change. At first it feels as if you are back answering to your parents! You may even rebel against the idea. But think about it for a moment. Your husband/wife always walks through the door at 6.52pm – give or take 4 minutes. You have supper waiting on the table. At 7.20pm supper is cold, and they still haven't arrived. 8.25pm when they walk through the door, you're halfway through dialing the number for the local hospital because you're sure something's happened to them. They smile and apologize for being late but they got caught up in a last minute meeting. No thought to the anguish you've been through picturing them hurt or worse! You don't want to be the one feeling this way, and so make sure you don't do the same kind of thing to your beloved! Letting your partner know your schedule is a sign of consideration. Of acknowledging that this other person cares about you and will worry if you are not where you've said you'll be at the time you said you'll be there.<br />
<br />
<b>Gone too are the days when you could say "Sure, I'll come for pizza tonight!" to work colleagues without even thinking about it. First of all you need to call your partner and tell them that this is what you're planning, and making sure that they're ok with it. Yes, I know, too bad if they aren't, but they may have made other plans for the evening that you don't know about and so it is worth checking first!</b><br />
<center> <img SRC="http://hostedmedia.reimanpub.com/rrmag/easyEntertaining/everyday/everyday-Pizza-Party_315.jpg" width="300"> </center><br />
<br />
Consideration for your new husband or wife is the first and most important aspect of your marriage during the early days because it's the thing that's most difficult to adjust too. Is your music too loud? Does your partner want to watch a different channel? Do you take all the blankets in bed? Do you snore? You don't check these things because you benefit, nor as a partner would you usually complain about them, but you do them because you want your marriage to be a partnership with two equal partners. If you argue about something, find common middle ground. There should be no power struggle if both parties respect each other enough to accept that both people are entitled to hold differing viewpoints. Don't back down from confrontation, don't press forward your advantage, be considerate towards each other and negotiate a situation you can both agree to.<br />
<br />
<center> <img SRC="http://www.photocraftz.com/Engagement1/Denver_engagement_photo-2.jpg" width="450"> </center><br />
<br />
In the early weeks and months of marriage, you'll find many things new and sometimes not exactly the way you thought they'd be, but if both parties add consideration to their menu of love, trust and respect, then married life will soon settle down and you'll become accustomed to doing things without resentment or obligation. You'll do them because you want too.<br />

Should you spy on your cheating husband or wife? You believe you see signs of a cheating spouse. The need to know whether your spouse is cheating and EXACTLY what kind of cheating is taking place is often strong. There are a number of reasons why the drive to spy is powerful. Here are seven:<a name='more'></a> <br />
<br />
1. Trust is a big reason, not of your partner, but yourself. Probably for some time you have sensed something is different or questioned the change of behavior in your partner. Perhaps you confronted your cheating husband or cheating wife and it was met with denial. This created a huge dilemma for you because a part of you was screaming, Hey, this doesn't fit! I don't believe it! To deny this part of you, which KNOWS the truth, creates a tremendous internal turmoil. If the truth as you suspect it is confirmed, you can take a deep breath and at least know that you can trust yourself. You are NOT CRAZY! Spying is a way to confirm your suspicions and trust more fully your gut feelings.<br />
<br />
2. Spying on cheating husbands or cheating wives often helps the person feel connected to the partner who seems to be steadily moving away. It is a way of maintaining contact and having some sort of connection to this stranger who once was well known. Isn't it like the game of hide-and-seek we used to play as children? Sometimes there, sometimes gone. At least it is a game, and a game is at least some contact, some involvement. You miss the connection and try to find someway to maintain the ties.<br />
<br />
3. Spying on a cheating spouse may be an honest attempt to bring resolution to the relationship. You want to know the truth. You sense something does not fit. You suspect there is a breach of something. You want to know what you are up against. You are not willing to stand pat and wait. You are a person of action. You want some sort of movement. You want to get on with the relationship. You want to get on with your life. You know that it is difficult maintaining your sanity when there might be this huge elephant that no one is talking about. You want to know the truth, face the truth, deal with the truth and be free.<br />
<br />
4. Cheating husbands or cheating wives often, unfortunately, lead to the demise of marital relationships. If you strongly suspect this to be true for your situation you will want to protect yourself legally. If there is betrayal, lying and deception regarding a third party, other forms of deception may exist financially or in other areas of the relationship. Having "evidence" does have some impact in some court systems. Whether you need to protect yourself legally depends on the kind of affair facing you and the character of your spouse. Please read through my "7 Reasons For an Affair" to determine the situation that faces you. If your spouse is someone who can't say no, doesn't want to say no or is acting out rage, please make sure to take protective steps.<br />
<br />
<img SRC="http://www.islandpeopleunited.com/file/cheating_woman.jpg" width="450"><br />
<br />
5. You may want to protect yourself medically if you suspect you have a cheating husband or wife. You might be concerned about sexually transmitted diseases. Your health may be at stake. And, of course, you need to know. Shame, guilt or self-absorption may be so powerful in your partner that it gets in the way of responsibly informing you of the medical dangers when another partner is sexually brought into your relationship.<br />
<br />
6. Seeing signs of a cheating spouse often mean secrets. Secrets are work! There is not much written about the impact of a secret in a relationship, but believe me, in over two decades of working with strained relationships day in and day out, keeping a secret has a powerful impact. It is the proverbial elephant sitting in the room that no one dare talk about. People take extraordinary measures to tip toe around it, but it IS there. Emotionally, you can't miss it. Secrets are a drain. If the secret persists, its impact is felt in subtle but insidious ways. People become physically ill, sometimes seriously so. People become depressed. People start doing crazy things. Children start acting out, stop achieving, become listless or exhibit a host of other symptoms. Children, or the next generation, often carry the emotional load. You want to spy because you don't want to live with a secret. You want to discover the truth. You want to feel the freeing power of the exposed secret and the opportunity it offers for healing, resolution, a rich relationship and a productive life.<br />
<br />
7. Some of us like drama. Soap opera scenarios and adrenaline based lives are a hallmark of our society. We get juiced or pumped up entering into emotional relational triangles that offer intrigue. Without adrenaline, life seems boring or mundane. Perhaps an unspoken reason for an affair may be to fan the fire? Or, you may spy on your cheating spouse to keep the sense of being alive a part of your life.<br />

Dating can be confusing and frustrating, no matter what your situation. Here are some alternative dating ideas that may appeal to people who don't want to go down the traditional route of seeking a mate.<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Singles bars</b><br />
Singles bars have been around for a long time, and though they may not appeal to everyone they are ideal because everyone has the same goal in mind. You're all in the same boat, and it may not be subtle but it certainly is straightforward.<br />
Speed dating gives you an even shorter time to make an impression. As an alternative dating technique, it can be a lot of fun. You sit opposite someone and each of you have a few minutes to tell the other about yourself. When the bell rings you move on to the next table, start at square one and repeat. If someone bores you to tears, your suffering is short-lived. At the end of the evening, you connect with those that tickled your fancy and go from there. If you didn't meet anyone you clicked with, there's no pressure and you can simply go home and attend the next session. This is becoming a very popular technique for singles, and even those who may mock it and perhaps go 'as a joke' or on a dare end up enjoying themselves.<br />

<b>Dating agencies</b><br />
Dating agencies have become quite popular in recent times. Professional people who lead busy lives like to use them. It's an alternative dating method that is not foolproof but it's somewhat safer, as all clients have gone through a filtering system. Many agencies utilize video dating, whereby the client makes a brief video of themselves and has access to other client videos for perusal. You don't have long to make an impression, so it's best to just be yourself. You want to come across as a genuine person, not a phony.<br />

<b>Singles groups</b><br />
Many communities have singles groups that embark on fun activities together, and this is is a great alternative dating method. Events like biking, bowling, curling, movie nights, dancing and comedy clubs are organized by the singles group, and it allows an evenly-distributed group of participants to have a fun and casual night. With emphasis put on the activity itself instead of making a romantic connection, it takes a lot of pressure off the singles and attractions occur more naturally in this type of setting.<br />

A lot of people even find it workable and gratifying. In fact, there are more benefits other people do not realize unless they try online dating themselves.<br />
<a name='more'></a> <br />
<br />
However, not all online dating escapades produce positive results in the end. There are instances wherein the expectations sometimes go out of hand when executed in reality.<br />
<br />
Take for example the case of a person who was lucky enough to find somebody he thinks is the right girl for him. He replied on her profile and when he received an answer from the girl, they started to communicate frequently.<br />
<br />
What happens on their online dating is a series of continuous communication, exchanging messages, chatting continuously, and spending hours over the phone.<br />
<br />
Because of the instant chemistry that evolved each time they talk to each other, the guy had emotionally built up the possibility of having a true, and not virtual, relationship with the girl. That is why he decided to set up their first real date.<br />
<br />
As they day came when they agreed to meet for lunch, everything seem to have crumbled into pieces. The girl appeared to be somewhat different what the guy had expected or recalled. What made the meeting even worse is that what used to be a cheerful, lively conversation they usually had whenever they talk on the phone or chat in the Internet suddenly becomes so stiff and strained.<br />
<br />
And as the date comes to an end, the girl said that she had a nice time and enjoyed the day. The problem suddenly draws in. The guy does not know what to say or do.<br />
<br />
This kind of situation is not uncommon in the world of online dating. There are many cases wherein two people just don't click when they start to meet each other in person.<br />
<br />
A lot of people who are involved in online dating usually ask why such things happen. They find it hard to believe that the person they have learned to like (and love) online is entirely different when in person.<br />
<br />
Hence, they try to assess themselves what went wrong. Is it their point of view that has changed? Were they deceived by the other person? Or was it just wrong from the very start?<br />
<br />
The problem with most people who indulge into online dating is that they fail to keep in mind that when they communicate to their dates online, they are communicating, not with a person but with a series of texts, with no person involved. This is because any answers can always be fabricated or the other person can always deceive his or her date.<br />
<br />
So, when this happens, personal meetings would really end up like the one mentioned above. This is because reality is entirely different from what the computer screen illustrates.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, the problem is still there. One should know how to gradually exit from the situation without having to hurt the other person's feelings.<br />
<br />

<br />
So, for people who wish to know how to do this, here's a list of some useful tips that you can use and make rejections a little easier to bear.<br />
<br />
<b>1. It would be better not to delve on the issue about not having the right chemistry in the first place, or pointing out the reason why an individual cannot pursue the dating any longer.</b><br />
In order to break things easily, it would be better for a person not to mention anything that will focus on the issue of not getting the expectations one had started to build before they even meet in person.<br />
It is wrong to emphasize on the physical qualities of the person that is why the other person does not want to communicate with him or her anymore.<br />
<br />
<b>2. It is best for the concerned person to try to explain to the other person the importance of finding each other's right mate in order to build a happy relationship.</b><br />
An individual should at least try to make an extra effort on explaining how chemistry works with two people and that lack of such value could be detrimental in one's relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Excuses will only make the matter worst.</b><br />
Rejections should be instigated in such a way that the other person will not be hurt. However, this does not mean that the person will have all the right to make such lousy excuses.<br />
There are instances wherein the other person can sense the effort in making lame defenses and would only be hurt more.<br />
<br />
<b>4. People should be more consistent on their decisions.</b><br />
There are instances wherein people start to tell the other person that their relationship will not work, but in the long run, comes back rushing into the other person's life because of the realization that he or she is wrong about his or her decisions after all.<br />
This will only make the matter worst and will only generate negative feelings.<br />
<br />
<b>5. it's best for the concerned individual to let the other person express his or her sentiments and ask questions. Then, the concerned person should try to exert a little effort in answering the questions as honestly as possible.</b><br />
The bottom line here is that when a person gets disappointed after meeting his or her online date in person, it would be better to set things straight at once and put an end on the situation before it gets heated up.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the other person should learn how to empathize with the other person so as to understand what they would feel if they were on their shoes.<br />
<br />
It is all a matter of being sensitive at the same time being honest on what the other person would feel. </span>Burgoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02681311524790560190noreply@blogger.com
