"It's Tough, But I Really Need To Change!" (Patrisia's Blog)

I’ve been a single mother for many years now. Yeah, I’ve had my novios. When I was younger, I also had 2 boyfriends who didn’t provide for my kids, so I still considered myself a single mom. Those relationships didn’t last, of course. After 6 years of being alone, and then dating the same guy for 4 years, we finally tied the knot! It was a lovely, simple wedding ceremony that he paid for all by himself. Even though we’re happy, … Read more →

So, Thanksgiving has come and gone and no proposal during dinner from my guy. The holidays have passed and no ring as a gift. Even after the clock struck twelve to bring in the New Year, I still have no ring. Maybe for Valentine’s Day if I’m lucky, he’ll pop the question. Until then, I will continue to “convince” my guy of how “worthy” I am of becoming a wife. I will take into consideration all that he has told me … 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 have had the misfortune of experiencing what happens when your partner cheats on you. You always think and feel that you are the most important person in their life, and that they would never lie to you or be unfaithful. Well, that is not the case here. My ex-boyfriend of 8 years decided to step out of the relationship and have sex with someone else. I was devastated to say the least. He said it was a one time thing … Read more →

"Life After [Or During] A Divorce – Part 1" (A Guest Blog From Fitness Expert Amanda Genao)

For those of you familiar with Massachusetts divorce laws you’d happen to know that you are required to take a parenting course in order to be granted a divorce. For those of you not so familiar with this law I welcome you to Massachusetts. It was a freezing evening during the most exhausting and inconvenient of times for me. The class started at 6pm and went till 8:30pm. Eight fu*king thirty. I wasn’t upset, though. I was actually very hopeful and … Read more →

"Unsettled Feelings" (A FB Guest Blog From Brooklyn)

I am sitting here thinking to myself and trying to absorb all the pain I feel and the pain of others. I have communicated to a few other women about the pain from failed relationships and the type of pain that I endured during my relationships. It’s still unclear to me why a man must hurt a woman in such ways. You know, he cheats, he hits you, etc. Or he puts you down and makes you feel inferior to him. … Read more →
