Nothing can define or measure the intensity of the dumper and the dumpee’s feelings. It all depends on the reason you broke up and how they perceive the breakup. Depending on their attachment style they will go through these stages differently. For a few days, they will feel like they are free, and then they will struggle with their inner thoughts differently. The avoidant, will send their thoughts to the back of their mind and suppress their feelings....

Whether it’s in our genes, situations, choices, decisions, and circumstances cheating happens more than you think it does. Especially if we consider that we as a society have monogamy as a basic standard on how we form and continue romantic relationships. It’s even more ironic when we consider the fact that infidelity is widely shamed in many societies, in some countries even dealt with punishments; and yet, people still do it....

When it comes to a boy’s personality, most of us think “like father, like son”. But as the primary caregiver in the household, a growing boy picks up quite a few traits from his mother too. In their formative years, boys learn some of their earliest lessons about life, love, and trust from their mothers, and having a narcissistic mother can be particularly devastating. Sons of narcissistic mothers are more likely to have lower self-esteem, trouble forming meaningful relationships, and difficulty regulating their emotions....

Apart from trust, communication is the most important element of a healthy relationship. Human beings are social creatures, we enjoy talking to each other; but fundamentally, we want to be around people who understand our needs, and to understand someone’s needs, they must be communicated. One of the many reasons relationships fail is a communication breakdown, or an inability to communicate. You may have noticed that your partner often switches off, they’re in a bad mood and you don’t know why....

Pretty much every parent believes that no one is good enough for their daughter. That’s not to say you can’t have a cordial relationship with your son-in-law, but no one is good enough for your baby girl. But what if he’s not just “not good enough” but is actually terrible for your daughter? What if he’s a narcissist that is emotionally abusing your daughter and possibly grandkids? What if he’s slowly destroying your relationship with your daughter?...

What makes him miss you is reminding him of your positive impact on him. Indeed, being constantly on his face won’t make him crave your presence. Yet, going distant for days and ignoring him won’t make him miss you either. You can make him miss you over text knowing what and when to text. A guy likes to receive attention to a certain amount so he can be hooked up on you....

Are you tired of living with your parents? You are at an age where you can move out, but you are a little indecisive. Your family may have told you that moving away from them would be a selfish act. Or, it could be that no one else in your family has moved and you are a little nervous about being the first one. Whatever the reason may be, you want answers....

Have you been wondering why my girlfriend gets mad at me for the smallest things? It could be because she’s stressed, has excessive jealousy issues, or is on her menstrual cycle. Being in a relationship with a person who’s angry all the time is no fun. You can’t seem to get a moment’s peace because she’s always flying off the handle about one thing or another. What makes it worse is that it will be about the smallest things, such as you didn’t put the milk back in the fridge or forgot one item on the shopping list....

Do narcissists love money? Of course! They love any resource that gives them control and power, and money can undoubtedly provide those benefits. And while we all need money to survive, it can also be a dangerous weapon that can hurt other people. Subsequently, when it comes to their strange relationship with money, most narcissists make their own rules and play their own games. Some narcissists are objectively wealthy. But many of them are struggling, and understanding the narcissist and money problems can be paramount for your well-being....

Why did she block you on everything? Why didn’t she just tell you from the beginning that she wasn’t interested instead of blocking you after two dates? Maybe she only decided she didn’t want to take things further after the second date? Or was she just being polite by going on a second date with you? You can speculate all day, but you won’t know the answer to these questions until you’ve spoken to her....

It comes a time that anger goes away and feelings start to be reactivated. I am aware that it’s quite overwhelming when you get a text or a call from your ex, but do you know why they’re doing it? When an ex checks up on you or vice versa it’s not weird or uncommon. What might make it weird and suspicious is the reason behind your ex’s actions. Your ex checks up on you after the breakup for different reasons....

Are you looking for signs he told his friends he likes you? Some of the main signs include his friends knowing your name; they call you his girlfriend, or his friends are intimidated by you. Are you dating a guy who’s not telling you much about how he feels about you? But for some reason, his friends seem to act weird around you? Not in a bad way; they seem a little overly excited....

Do you want to learn the best text messages to make him obsess over you? We live in a great time. Communication has never been easier. Getting in touch with people on the other side of the world, in real-time, is often just a matter of writing a text message on your phone. No other generation in human history had that kind of power. And yet so many women ignore it....

If you are currently in a committed relationship with a narcissist, you may think your life is an enduring hell- or at least purgatory. You might wonder if you stick it out, will he get better with age, will he mellow out? Unfortunately, there is not a longitudinal research study with a definitive answer. Do Narcissists get worse with age? One study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (F.Stinson et al, 2008) suggested that pathological narcissists might mellow out, as the characteristics of NPD were more prevalent among younger adults compared to older ones....

“What do you do against someone who blames you for everything? Because it’s almost like I can’t do anything right. No matter how hard I try, it’s never good enough. I just get told how stupid I am or how I should have done it differently. I feel so exhausted and resentful.” Does this mental script sound familiar in your relationship? Are you constantly being told that you’re the problem, even if you’re just doing your best?...

People often assume that narcissists never apologize for their wrongdoings. However, this myth isn’t true. In fact, some narcissists are more than happy to tell you they’re sorry. The difference, however, is that their apologies lack sincerity and merit. That’s because their intentions aren’t rooted in expressing empathy or repairing a relationship issue. Instead, they are focused on coping with their own emotions and satisfying their intrinsic needs. The apology is about their self-preservation, and it has nothing to do with supporting you or honoring your needs....

Thinking if their behavior is normal, or just a little out of control. According to the vocabulary, obsession is having an extreme interest in something. In this case, being obsessed is when he has lost control of his feelings and his interest has become compulsive. You’ve noticed some of his behavior and you can’t tell if it’s just an obsession or if he’s in love with you. Well, those two can go together or alone....

“I’m sorry.” Those are two of the most difficult words for most people to be able to honestly say. When we are genuinely sorry, we have to admit that we hurt someone and it also means that we are taking responsibility for the pain we have caused. A narcissist is never sorry because he (or she) perceives himself as perfect. He can’t be wrong. He views himself as superior to everyone and, thus, always right....

If you want to stay friends and want to reconcile the relationship later, you can inform your ex about distancing. Otherwise, you need to go in No Contact without announcing it to them....

You’re left wondering whether it’s something you did or said, or whether it’s him losing interest. Gosh, the possibilities are infinite! If he initiates contact first and then doesn’t respond, it is often because another event or action might have conflicted with his free time. However, your beautiful mind starts getting tired of contemplating every possibility behind this behavior. Why would he text you and not respond? Here are 10 reasons why he texts and then doesn’t respond:...
