• How do you know…

  When you’re ready to jump back into the potential dating scene? Not like “Let’s go get married” expectations, but someone to enjoy their company, have a plus one to events, and maybe even get naked on occasion? Is that a thing? No, I’m not talking a fuck-boy, I mean a grown-ass man who has his…

• Dependent on Codependency

  The terrible, awful, no good very bad daughter strikes again. Yesterday afternoon I was asked if Mom and her dog could stay with us for a day so they could “bomb” their apartment for fleas – fleas that apparently they’ve had for quite some time.

• You Jump, I Jump.

  Can two broken individuals come together and have a healthy relationship? Had you asked me almost 7 years ago, I would immediately say yes. Ask me today and I’ll tell you it’s a bit more complicated than that. As we get into serious relationships, things change. It’s inevitable. I’d like to think for the most…
