Three Things You Can Do When He’s Getting Emotionally Distant

328 Comments

A beautiful woman stands behind a man feeling sad because he seems distant.
Is it all in your head or is he getting distant?

Why do we sometimes hold on so tightly to something that isn’t working for us?

To someone that isn’t treating us the way we deserve to be treated? Who isn’t loving us the way we were meant to be loved?

You know the scenario – it starts off with fireworks, an amazing connection; you just can’t get enough of each other. Then suddenly, he’s not calling as much, he’s out with his buddies more than he’s out with you, or you just have some gut feeling that something has changed for him.

He seems distant.

Any time a relationship I was in started taking this kind of turn for the worse I did what so many of us do. I started hanging on tighter.

Yep. Break out the stranglehold.Continue Reading

Love is NEVER Complicated

18 Comments

Beautiful woman scratching her head wondering why love is so complicated.
Anytime you’re trying to explain why it really is love, just stop.

I often hear women asking whether or not their relationship is the real thing.

Wondering if the guy they’re with is the right one for them. Wondering what they should do. And in most cases, as soon as they start describing their situation, it becomes pretty clear that there’s a lot more going on in their situation than love.

If there’s one mantra to make your own, it’s one that states it clearly and simply: real love is never complicated. Ever.Continue Reading

14 Warning Signs That He’s Not That in to You

If you want a real relationship, then watch out for these warning signs.

When I look back at all the relationships that didn't work out (that I so wanted to at the time), I realize that in every case, there were early warning signs that my guy gave me that could have given me some idea of the heartbreak I was going to experience if I had only been aware of what to look for.

So, to spare you from what happened to me, to give you the inside scoop on what you can be on the lookout for, here’s my list of the warning signs that I didn't heed. Fortunately, you still can.

Here they are, in no particular order …

1.) He doesn't call you when he says he will.

Granted, I know that sometimes life can get it the way, and if he’s working late on that big project with the looming deadline it’s possible that time might get away from him once in a while.

But if this happens more than once or twice, it’s a sure sign that you’re just not a priority for him right now.Continue Reading

Part III: If I knew then what I know now...

Sometimes you just need to relax...

...I wouldn’t be so scared that I had to be doing something to meet him right now or else someone else was going to find him first.

I would know that scarcity is a lie that we’re brought up with, but it’s not true.  There’s always enough of everything if we believe it – even if we’re talking about men.

I remember that feeling.

It was a Saturday night and I knew the numbers all too well. There were more single women than men out there and I’d better get going if I was going to find one before someone else found him first!

And so was my life.

Feeling like every day I was getting older, feeling like everyone else around me had found their Mr. Right by now - except me. Feeling like I was going to be denied the chance to get married and have my own family because of something I had or hadn’t done or because of some kind of punishment for not being as perfect as I believed I should be. Continue Reading

Don't over complicate things.

...I wouldn’t think that finding him (and keeping him) was about using some magic formula, or playing games or uncovering some secret.

I would know that it’s about being real, honest, and authentic; without the games, the acting, the manipulating and the pretending. 

I've officially read enough books and articles about the search for Mr. Right to understand why we’re all confused.

Really confused.

And not connecting. And scared. And trying. And still not connecting.

And essentially not coming any closer to finding Mr. Right than we were before we started having access to all the secrets out there to finding him.Continue Reading

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher: What Did Demi Really Lose?

3 Comments

I was thinking about an article I read years ago about the break-up of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.

As I was reading about how Demi and others before her have ended their relationships with cheating men, I realized something important that I wanted to share with you. Because it’s the perfect example of what we need to remember about these guys we get involved with.

Every single one of them.

And it’s one of the themes that I’m always talking about.

That we really do teach him how to treat us.

If you ever had any doubt about that, just look at Demi Moore’s announcement where she states clearly that she is not going to put up with this kind of betrayal of her and her family. Continue Reading
