Are you drowning in negativity?

In a marriage, should you really feel lonely that much of the time? And if so, then how lonely is too lonely?

No energy at 3PM? The mid-afternoon slump is a well-known phenomenon.

Does chronic anxiety ever make you feel like a flake?

Being a parent isn’t everything.

A relationship with a narcissist may start out with butterflies and fireworks...But don’t be fooled: it’s not about you. It’s about them.

Yes, a lot of parents are assholes. But you know what? A lot of people are assholes; some of them happen to have kids, some don’t. I can’t speak for all parents, and I wouldn’t want to try. But speaking as one particular person with kids, here’s what I wish my childfree friends would understand…

Marriage isn’t a game. But playing one can actually help strengthen it. So, game on!

Sometimes you have to let go of your dreams. As the years go by, you come to the realization that who you are now is pretty much who you’ll be forever.

Can’t calm down, won’t calm down.
