Having some time apart to do separate things is normal and healthy in relationships. But when his hobbies take over all your husband or boyfriend’s time, it’s easy to feel left out and separated from your loved one. Sounds crazy, right? We get so worked up about someone else stealing our loved ones from us. […]
I can name at least one time when I have looked at a man and said, ‘I bet he’s having a midlife crisis.’ was probably wrong, as are many others when they talk about men going through this crisis. So, what kind of man goes through a midlife crisis? Better yet, is there any man […]
So, you’re dating a recently divorced man—I guess the divorce part shouldn’t matter. But it does, no matter how much you try to ignore it. It’s okay though; it means you know what you are getting yourself into. Or at least, are ready to embrace it. Dating a recently divorced man should not be different. […]
If you have ever been in a relationship with a man, you have probably also asked yourself: Is he thinking about commitment? It’s normal to wonder if you are latching onto someone who sees you as a passing fling. And it’s not wrong to want commitment. In fact, wanting commitment is natural and healthy. Commitment […]

While it might be a stereotype, I believe there is some truth to the old adage that men aren’t as emotional as women. There are certainly outliers, but on the whole, I’d say it’s harder for us to get in touch with our emotions, and most of us don’t give it much effort. This disconnect […]
Sometimes it feels like life is moving too fast, and I’m just trying to keep up. I’ve come to realize that to keep my sanity, alone time is essential for me, and probably for all humans. It’s not about pushing anyone away or escaping from the people we love. Alone time is about recharging, reflecting, […]
I have always found male friendships interesting. Male bonding is nothing like when women get together. When women meet, there’s a lot of sharing, advice-giving, empowerment, and overall satisfaction. When men meet, I see none of those things.
