Being Afraid To Feel Angry In Relationships or Post Breakup
Mar 12, 2010 4:00am
A couple of days ago, I shared my thoughts about epiphany relationships and moments- relationships and events within or out of them, that have a lasting impact and end up shining a light on ourselves and our actions and eventually bringing about positive, lasting change. Sometimes when we experience these...
Getting Your Wake Up Call: Relationship Epiphanies
Mar 10, 2010 4:19pm
A few years back I wrote about when you have an epiphany relationship: “a relationship that caused you to have a sudden clarity and insight into that particular relationship, yourself, your actions, and potentially all of your relationships. There is a defining moment within this relationship where everything changed for you...
Is He Going to Leave His Wife/Girlfriend For Me? Part Two
Mar 8, 2010 4:37am
Yesterday in part one, I explained why wondering or questioning whether a man is going to leave his wife or girlfriend for you can put you in a precarious position because it means that the way that the ‘affair’ is playing out is not giving you enough confidence to believe...
Is He Going To Leave His Wife/Girlfriend For Me? Part One
Mar 7, 2010 3:40pm
Right now, there are thousands of ‘ladies in waiting’ in relationships; women who are willing, waiting, and hoping that the guy they’re with, will leave their girlfriend or wife. ‘Is he going to leave her for me?’;'When is he going to leave her?’ and ‘Why hasn’t he left her yet?’...
Guest Post: A Journey in an Honest Conversation from Pain to Self-Love
Mar 3, 2010 9:00am
A couple of years ago, I received an email from Baggage Reclaim reader RES thanking me for writing this site, and letting me know that in spite of the painful revelations that resulted from reading, she was ready to take a break from relationships (something I recommend to help you...
Lovenomics: Managing Your Desire to Be the Exception in Relationships – Part Two
Mar 2, 2010 4:00am
Yesterday in part one, I explained about how we often base our thinking about what’s likely to happen in our relationships based on exceptions and anomalies instead of the reality. Part of this stems from what can be a tendency to dine off illusions in poor relationships, but it also...
Lovenomics: Managing Your Desire to Be the Exception in Relationships – Part One
Mar 1, 2010 4:42am
I‘ve finally gotten around to reading Superfreakonomics, the follow up to the bestselling Freakonomics. Pitched as a “rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything”, authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner are deliciously clever and funny, exploring everything from why sumo wrestlers and teachers are the most likely...
Are you hanging with a solo thinker or a team player in your relationships?
Feb 25, 2010 3:28pm
One of the things that I consistently say about healthy, positive relationships is that it takes two people with both of their feet in it to make it work. When one person is a solo thinker whilst the other person is thinking as a team and trying to make up...

Having An Honest Conversation with Yourself for Better Relationships
Feb 22, 2010 3:46pm
Whilst thankfully I don’t spend my time on the mean streets of Unavailable Town and Assclownville anymore, I have to regularly give myself a boot up the bum to ensure that I’m real with myself about other aspects of my life and that predominantly tends to be about work and...
When Someone Keeps Pressing the ‘Reset’ Button on their Behaviour in Relationships
Feb 17, 2010 3:56pm
Recently a reader emailed me about his ex girlfriend. “I’m at a total loss. She just expects to swoop back into my life and pick up from where we left off. If I so much as mention the problems which include her starting something with a guy at the office as...
Getting Out of Stuck: What are you doing to help bring love into your life?
Feb 15, 2010 9:00am
I read a lot of emails, comments, posting on the forum etc and one of the things that becomes clear is that until we ‘get’ it, we’re excuses driven people, prone to self-blame, dramatisation, and lamenting why things haven’t gone our way. When we have our own personal epiphany and...

Feb 14, 2010 2:22pm
It’s Valentine’s Day and whilst some of you are enjoying yourselves, either in your own company, hanging with friends and family, or maybe with a new ’significant other’, some of you will be in slushy mushy hearts hell, reminiscing about V-Day’s gone by where you were with the object of...
Terms & Conditions Apply – Reading the ‘Small Print’ in Dubious Relationships
Feb 10, 2010 3:43pm
Last night I was speaking with a reader who has really been given the emotional beatdown by the guy that she’s been involved with. She couldn’t fathom how she’s got to the point where she’s involved with a guy who’s treating her like a casual sex companion who he can...
Should I Give Him A Second Chance? Or a 3rd, 4th, 20th…
Feb 8, 2010 3:45pm
Ah, Valentine’s Day is approaching and much like Christmas, exes will be potentially creeping out of the woodworks. Maybe you’ve been broken up for a while, watched him waltz off with someone else and have been wondering, ‘Why her and not me?‘ Or maybe he’s not with someone else (or...
