Hi ladies. A friend of mine just got dumped by her boyfriend and she’s heartbroken. She said she wanted to write him a goodbye letter so she could get closure. She asked me if I thought it was a good idea. So I really started thinking about it. I have went through 2 breakups myself (a 5 year one and a 2 month one) and I found it was good to write my feelings down on paper. The sad part is, … Read more →

My boyfriend of 10 months and I just broke up. I keep asking myself if it’s my fault and if I should have handled things differently. I’m very open and sexual, but only with the man I’m involved with. I’m a lady in public and expect to be treated that way by others. My ex is quite a bit older than me. Our backgrounds are very different but we seemed to match up just fine. For instance, I never get drunk … Read more →

I recently walked away from a 3-year relationship in which I was totally in love with the guy. The problem was it was going nowhere fast. I felt like he was my other half. I complimented his personality and he complimented mine. The sexual chemistry (and sex, for that matter) was incredible. But if sex is all there is for one partner, and the other partner (me) has fallen in love, then that partner gets hurt every time you are together. … Read more →

I sat here for weeks looking at a blank page trying to figure out how to tell my fellow Latinas what has happened since my last entry. At a loss for words I can only explain that Mr. Wonderful has changed and we have ended our relationship. Since my last blog about his depression and his admittance to a mental institution, he has been institutionalized twice for suicide attempts. The last time he assaulted me at my office and then blamed … Read more →

I have a question: Dicen Que El Amor Solo Llega Una Vez En La Vida. Do you guys think this is true? I myself totally do. I have dated guys and felt love for some, but my “true love” I let go of when I was 17. This guy and I dated when we were just teenagers, but man, I have not been able to fall in love again the way that I was with this guy. I had my 2 … Read more →

I remember when I was growing up, all I wanted was to have a family of my own. Get, married, have kids, take care of my home, you know, that sort of thing. I was fortunate enough to have parents who loved and respected each other and always took each other into consideration. I loved how affectionate and silly they were towards one another and didn’t hide it from us. What I didn’t see were all the years of hard work … Read more →

Before I start, I want to clear one thing up: I am not blaming the teenage girl (see my last blog) and I’m not trying to “clean up” what my ex-fiancée did. I’m simply writing down the situation that I’m living through at this moment in my life. So, back to the story. After all the drama, my ex kept texting me and calling me. But I just couldn’t respond. I didn’t want anything to do with him. He … Read more →

“A Walk In My Shoes….” (Meri’s Blog)

About two years ago I fell for this man. A man who said all the right things and me going through my divorce I fell for his slick game and broken promises. Deep down inside I knew it wasn’t going to end well, but for that moment in time I felt like I never felt before. I felt loved, wanted and beautiful. We clicked very well and it was fun in games until the unthinkable happened. I got PREGNANT, and when … Read more →

Better Than Good Enough (Krystle’s Blog #7)

Hey everyone, =/ I need help with a certain…sticky…situation. So I’ve been with this guy for the past two years. We went out, then broke up and now we’re in the awkward ‘where do we stand’ stage because there’s still feelings. Now here’s the sticky thing: this has been like this for the past year. So when we have problems it’s difficult to discuss because TECHNICALLY I’m not his girlfriend. So recently I found him on this online dating website called … Read more →

Diary Of A Young Latina Mom (Lupe’s Blog #3)

Hello there ladies! I’m sorry it’s taken so long to post another blog. In all honestly I’ve actually started about six but because I get busy I never finish them. Hopefully, this will be an exception. Today, I find myself to be a little solemn. I start school today and I’ve been at my new job for about a week now. I have to say that my life is full of changes. Needless to say I have found out that I … Read more →
