Stale Relationship? Check In with Your Mate

Too often couples get so comfortable with one another over time that they don't bother to reconnect with one another like they did during the early stages of their relationship. Remember when you use to ask your mate questions like: "So what are you thinking?" when he looked off into space or stared intensely at you. What about questions such as: "What would you like to do together? Is there anything I am doing that you aren't pleased with honey?" Your mate didn't hesitate to share his or her feelings.

These days it is automatically assumed that a lover knows what his or her mate is feeling and that can be dangerous for any relationship. People change so it doesn't hurt to check in with your mate. Look for the following: signs your mate's feelings has changed toward you, future plans have been rearranged, and certain interests are abandoned now compared to what he or she use to do when you first started dating.

When you take time, at least once a month, to have a heartfelt discussion with your mate about relationship related things, it can help with any insecure feelings, inner conflict or something else that may be bothering you or your mate.

Use those idle moments to also discuss health issues, parenting problems, and challenges with relatives or friends. Encourage your mate to contribute to the discussion by asking, "What would you do" type of questions.

Prevent unnecessary conflicts in the future by getting in tune with your mate today!

Checking in with your mate can bring some life to an otherwise stale relationship.

How to Spot a Self-Absorbed and Conceited Partner Who Will Probably Cheat on You – Warning Signs to Look Out For

Everyone has a different perspective of what is considered attractive in a partner, whether it be a great smile, intelligence, or a sense of humor. However, others look for specific qualities when dating that they know will always lead to heartache – a self-absorbed and conceited partner. Dating such a person could lead to an unhealthy relationship filled with insecurities, jealousy, and constant drama. Identifying the early warning signs of such personality traits can save you from heartbreak in the future. 1) Narcissist tendencies If your partner is constantly talking about themselves or making everything about them, it may be a sign they are self-absorbed. Such tendencies are often portrayed as an overinflated sense of self-importance or arrogance. 2) A lack of empathy A relationship should be a two-way street, with both partners shouldering their responsibilities and being there for each other. However, some self-absorbed individuals can lack empathy. They may not care abou

Finding Love: Location, Challenges, and the Search for True Connection by Nicholl McGuire

 When it comes to finding the right person to date, location can play a major role. According to the US Census Bureau, there are certain states that have larger populations of single men and women than others. Based on data from 2019, Washington D.C., Alaska, New York, and Hawaii had the highest percentage of singles among those 18 years old and over. On the flip side, North Dakota had the lowest percentage of single people in the 18+ category. Although these numbers can provide a better understanding of where to find potential dates, they don't tell the whole story. Singleness has different root causes depending on individual circumstances. For example, some singles choose not to date for religious reasons while others may be too busy at work or school to focus on their dating life. In addition, many people who have recently moved to a new area may not yet be familiar with the local dating scene. For those looking for love in all the wrong places, relocating may be an option.
