Older Women and Younger Men: The Child Dilemma

CBGrace raised a good point regarding children in regards to intergenerational relationships. This is a very difficult topic for most, but it needs to be addressed. It is best if the decision for children is made early in the relationship, so the man knows whether or not he will be a father. If he wants [...]

The Joys of Being Single: One Isn’t the Loneliest Number

I was in a relationship that lasted nearly 14 years. Some marriages don’t last that long.

(I’m not going to get into the specifics of the [...]
