This may be simple and unnecessary ..  but I thought since this site is about relationships, Wikipedia’s defintion of a relationship might be helpful to someone..

A relationship is a specific connection between objects, entities, concepts or people. Typical forms of relationship are social relationships between people, causal relationships between events, and mathematical or theoretical relationships between components of a modeled system.

Obviously we cover mostly the relationships between people..

Two or More People get’n it on.

Well… You know I like to talk about how to improve, enhance, add romance etc. in your relationships. Positive stuff.

But, sometimes you have to dump someone; especially if they are poisoness to your mojo.

I’d rather see you break up with someone than drag on something that just isn’t meant to be. Life is to short to linger!

Problem is, that isn’t always easy is it? I went through a lot of break ups in the past. It’s one of the worst things you have to endure; especially doing it face to face - which is actually the best way to do it technically, but it’s not always what we ‘want’ to do.

I stumbled on this today though — SlyDial

If you are ready to or need to break up with your lover in the future, now you can do it without worrying about them picking up the phone. Yep.. this service by-passes ringing and helps you go right to voice mail.

Actually I could see this having numerous applications. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to just leave a message, but nooooooo.. they pick up and now you have just burned an hour of your time.

I actually do think this is a very cold way of breaking up , but lets face it.. there are some real jerks (guys and gals) and terrible people out there. Maybe it’s better in that case.. maybe they don’t deserve courtesy and it’s time for you to move on and find Mr. or Mrs. Right?

Speak your mind without worrying about being interrupted.

Later!

Are you looking for great way to win over your man? Well then all you have to do is what my wife just did…

She’s on her way home from work, she called me and asked if I’d like a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Apparently she didn’t have much of a lunch… and instead of just thinking of herself, she thought to call me up and asked me if I’d like to fill that void in my stomach as well.

“Have you eaten lunch?”, she said.

I said, “Yes.”

She said, “Would you like a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?”

I said, “Yes!”

You know what they say ladies? The way to a man’s heart…

The Essentials of Communication - Part 1

This continues this two-part series on communicating in relationships.

In the last part we cover three different areas to consider so your communication to help you sustain a healthier relationship.

—

Here’s a couple more areas to keep in mind and work.

1. If you can, avoid lying at all costs! This is a sure ticket to a long and healthy relationship. Build trust and honesty. If you lie on a regular basis it will have a significant impact on your communication. Your partner will begin to not take you seriously or it will simply promote negative feelings and make it difficult to communicate all together.

2. Always try and stay positive. I know this is not always easy thing to do when you’re in a relationship. A lot of things happen
that can make you become negative. But try to step back from the situation and think of something positive.

If you have destructive attitudes towards each other or as a result of certain situations, it will simply lead to a very unhealthy and negative relationship long term. If you have a positive attitude you will promote a much more communicative relationship that will sustain for years to come.

3. Don’t keep things bottled up inside you. Don’t tie up your feelings. Let it out! If you keep things bottled up and suppressed for too long, one day he will let it all out in a deluge of anger and you could potentially hurt the other person in such a way that will take a long time if ever to heal.

Hopefully this short series has provided you with some key points to help you in your relationship; hopefully it’s provided you some things to work on. Hopefully now you understand the importance of keeping the lines of communicating open.

In doing this you’ll be able develop a very healthy relationship over time. The rewards of its are immeasurable. Trust me!
