You’re recently divorced. After my divorce, I remember my buddy Rich and I went out to a bar. I was standing in that bar drinking a Margarita, and all of a sudden I realized I was “him.” I was that older guy in a bar full of 20-somethings, nursing a drink and looking at women. At that moment I realized that those days were over for me. Do you want to be ‘that guy?’ I never wanted to be that guy standing in a bar. There wasn’t any joy anymore being in a bar. I wanted to meet real women.

So, you find yourself growing up and all your friends are married. You go to wedding after wedding and, of course, your friends’ wives come up to you and say, “When are YOU going to get married?”

Do you know a surefire sign that your relationship is on the edge, and is going downhill? It’s when you start masturbating again, and actually start enjoying it. Think about your past relationships at the point they were ending, or at the point when you and your partner were “on the outs.” All of a sudden you get to a point in the relationship where you’re having sex, you’re fighting, and you’re not really connecting.

Let me share with you a very interesting story about the dynamics of interpersonal relationships — friends and lovers. Let’s say your (same sex) friend is dating someone you really don’t like.

Have you ever been in a relationship in which you keep having the same conversation over and over again? You’ve explained your situation, or a need or desire you have, or something that might bother you about your partner. You’ve talked about it with them over and over and over again. You feel good after each conversation.

Last weekend in June, how did we get here so fast!!

My weekend will be hanging with some great guys doing a bootcamp.

Do you know what’s funny about relationships? Let’s talk about something no one seems to want to talk about when it comes to relationships. When you have a new relationship, you’re just in la-la land. I mean, it is the greatest feeling in the entire world. You want to tell the entire world how much…

We never really talked about breaking up in the blog. Today is going to be the first of a few blogs in which I will talk more about this. In this blog, I want to discuss something called “the breaking point.”
A lot of you have been in multiple relationships. I would say all of you have probably been in at least one relationship. No matter in how many relationships you’ve been, however, all relationships have what I call a breaking point.

Sometimes when I sit down and write a blog, I think to myself, “This is going to be one of my favorites.” It is a feeling I have. When I sit down to write a blog, I often get motivated by topics that relate to something in my own life or by a thought or feeling I’m having. Today’s blog was spurred by something that came up in a conversation I was having earlier. Someone used the term “I didn’t sign up for this.”
People will use this phrase about…

Relationships can really be frustrating. I mean, they’re battles at times. They really are. You draw battles into relationships due to ego and expectations. So many things can go wrong in a relationship due, very often, to the way you communicate your needs, wants and desires to each other. There are ways to be sure that relationship battles don’t cause permanent damage.
