Twitter Doesn’t Offer Any Benefits To Relationships

December 18, 2015 Dr. J 2

It’s been awhile. I’m aware. I find moments with the internet to be much different than a few years ago. You soon come to realize that bigots, idiots, and asshats can hide on the Internet. Interaction isn’t what it used to be. A chat room wasn’t just a place where one could shout out random […]

You Ruined the Fatty: The 21st Century Version of The Star Bellied Sneetches

October 22, 2015 Dr. J 1

I intended on writing about something related to relationships today. I really and truthfully did. Like most times when I sat down to write the article I found myself distracted and on Twitter.

Another Year Goes By and I’m Feeling Fine

October 2, 2015 Dr. J 5

I pen this post at least once a year and typically it posts around my birthday. It’s my annual reminder to everyone who is celebrating a birthday and also dealing with the slight depression of missed goals and deadlines that we should all calm down. The fact of the matter is that life’s goals don’t […]

September 18, 2015 Dr. J 1

The Decision to Marry Is Not About You

September 12, 2015 Dr. J 15

Recently, I’ve been having a lot of conversations with women who are ready for marriage and family. As crazy as it is that people make the decision about marriage by themselves instead of as a couple is weird to me but I’ll set that aside for now. Later in the conversation I always ask these […]

A lot of people shutter at the thought of going on vacation alone or having to live without companionship. There’s a host of things that people want to do but they don’t do simply because they feel they can’t do them without the presence of another individual.

Why Does It Seem Like Men Have Relationship A.D.D.?

May 29, 2015 Dr. J 27

Women are constantly struggling to understand the disappearing man, the reappearing man, the catch him if you can man, or the man who just doesn’t seem to get it. I understand. It’s frustrating. Why can’t he just sit still? Why won’t he just follow through? Why did suddenly stop calling or texting? It’s simple. Some […]
