Deconstructing A Communication Breakdown

I know I live in southern California, but Sonja hates feeling chilly so we have radiant heat going in the house.

You get in a fight with your partner. They did something that really angered you. You didn’t like their behavior or the way they treated you.

Hallmark Missed Men’s Biggest Holiday

The Super Bowl was a great game this year. I really enjoyed it. I was pretty amazed at the way things went down. Well, actually, I wasn’t. You know me, I’ve been a good football predictor all year. Do you realize that Super Bowl Sunday is the man event of the year? Now, I know a lot of women also watch it and enjoy it, but this is a man’s event. This is an “Oh my God, why doesn’t Hallmark have a line of Super Bowl cards?” type of…

Neediness is one of the biggest turnoffs in the world. So many times, we just want to be self-satisfied. Why didn’t that person call me back?
