The Ugly Truth: Why You’re Still Single
( It really IS me) I was checking out a great post about what type of women are the marrying kind (“Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others”), and it hit me that although it was a bit brutal at times, I agreed with pretty much everything that was said. And then it hit me again that I described it as brutal because a lot of it was describing me. Brutal because the many of the “reasons” I was still single was spelled out right in front me. Old.Read More
Dear CRF, “Am I Killing My Relationship?”
Dear CRF, Am I killing my relationship? I am a single mother of one with a full time job and I am also a full time student. I am in a relationship of less than one year and we have talked about being together for the long hall. I think this is a great idea and believe that if it is meant to happen it will all fall into place in due time, but for now I should take care of myself, get my career on track and solely provideRead More
The Year of the Sidechick
Apparently, 2014 is the year of the sidechick. It’s no secret that pop culture has played a part in making the sidechick acceptable.

At any given time, turn on the radio and you will hear countless songs about a womanRead More

It is admirable that you have taken into account the difficult time your friend hasRead More
The “P” Ain’t That Powerful…
I’ve had many recent conversations with men about who has the controls in relationships. Of course, every man I’ve talked to says that women hold all the power, and [they claim] that power comes from between our legs. But my experiences and observations tell me that is totally untrue. If that’s the case, many of the situations I’ve lived through wouldn’t have ended the way they did. So either it really ain’t that powerful, or I’m maybe not that good…hmmmmm I once saw a quote on Twitter that summed upRead More
