He is Just not that into You

How can I be in love with a guy who doesn't feel the same way about me?
When it comes to our own lives and to that ONE special guy who makes us weak in the knees, who plucks at our heart strings with both hands tied behind his back, our Spice Girl power goes out the window faster than you can say “I don’t need a man to validate me”. 
This guy becomes our blind spot, your strongest weakness. 

Just in Case (more commonly known as “Just In Case”) is a smooth operator. 
He knows how to push our buttons. He knows how to get under our skin. He knows how to offer just enough of himself to keep us hooked. He doesn't really want us to stay, but he doesn't really want us to go either. 

Be honest Unconditional Love or Money?

We already know that when it comes to long term relationships and being happy, love is important. Money as many will agree plays a vital role too.  More so if you’re married or living together. It pays the bills and buys the things we need and even the things we just want. 

8 most Annoying People in an Office

1. Little Miss Know-It-All
She is always the first to answer questions and doesn't think twice about chipping in on a conversation. Oh, and she's never wrong (according to her, at least.)
2. The moaner
We all know her. She spends the entire day complaining about co-workers, her workload, management, HR and the boss. Yet she has worked there for years and probably will never, ever leave.

Love is Not Free


Adapting is tough no matter how budget-savvy you are it's hard to avoid the ever increasing cost of living. Thanks to inflation, we are forced to make certain cutbacks in our month-to-month expenses in order to keep up with the negative side-effects that price hikes have on our bank accounts. Unless you are in the fortunate position where money is no object, inflation essentially comes down to one thing compromise.

As I searched the shelves for the cheapest pack of no-range skinless turkey breasts, I started thinking about relationships and the cost of loving. Any relationship worth staying in requires time, patience, sacrifice and a shit load of effort. Life happens somewhere in-between and we are often faced with compromising scenarios that are as unfavourable and unpredictable as fluctuating inflation rates.

5 Signs of an Abusive Relationship

There are several threats that determines whether or not a relationship is abusive or not. For some people in abusive relationship it can be difficult to recognize the signs or even accept that their relationship is abusive because they have become accustomed to their partners behaviour. Those who abuse their partners physically or psychologically are doing so to gain control over their partner, using fear, guilt, shame and intimidation to exercise their power. 

Physical signs
People who are being physically abuse may have frequent unexplained scars and bruises on their bodies. Victims are also known to frequently miss work, school or social occasions without explanation. Often injuries are described as ‘accidents’ even when it may be obvious that this is not the case.

What a Woman Wants

Some men find this challenging and feel that showing sensitivity or expressing their feelings emasculates them. Often, they choose to show their affection with lavish gifts and expensive dinners. All the while thinking that this is what women want. While those things are all wonderful, a woman can have all of that and still feel unsatisfied.

Are the best things in life free?
I would be lying if I said I didn't like gifts. I mean, honestly, who wouldn't want their man to buy them a lovely bunch of roses, but your love and affection need not cost the earth or anything for that matter? My boyfriend, for instance, often makes me a toasted sandwich and lovingly cup of hot chocolate. This didn't cost him a cent, he picked it from the kitchen, but the effort to make my humble sandwich and hot chocolate shows me he cares. Its little things like these that make a world of a difference.
