My whole life, people have been telling me I’m “too much." It's BS.

Is it hard for you to accept help when you need it?

Is it better to be alone than to be in a miserable relationship?

The thing is, when you fight with your partner, it’s your amygdala that takes over. It's the part of the brain that processes fear, and it’s powerful.

Being a parent isn’t everything.

Researchers say that the average relationship hits the ‘comfort zone’ phase after 11 months and 24 days.

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…

A low libido doesn’t have to be a clinically diagnosable condition in order for it to be a problem.

The "comfort relationship": Sometimes we get comfortable being uncomfortable.
