Ok…forget the pomp and circumstance, I have no choice but to be livid at every episode of “Divorce Court!”

What are these people thinking?  Are two people seriously standing in front of  Judge Lynn Toler on national television, arguing over:

• sex
• cats
• dogs
• kids
• a husband that’s 5′5″ (but he was that height when you got married)
• money (and he/she was broke when they got together)
• furniture

For the last few months, I have been baffled by something that will probably seem very trivial, but I’m going to tell you anyway.

We talk so much about relationships on this site, that I have been forced to ask the simple question: how do we know if we are in one?  Now, it may not seem that big of a deal to you, but let us  consider the possibilities:  Read more...

Can you turn a hoe into a housewife (or husband)?

 And why would you bother?

 I ask the question because of a recent twitter conversation I encountered.  One or all of the men folks seemed to think that a woman came up with the saying, “You can’t turn a hoe into a housewife?”

 Yet, and still he goes on to argue that many hoes are now housewives.  Read more...

Now what exactly does this mean?

 Legally, it is a tort action brought against a third party alleged to be responsible (by a deserted spouse) against a third party alleged to be responsible for the failure of the marriage. (via Wikipedia)

 If your spouse does not physically leave you, is it still alienation of affection? 

 Well not legally… but I think we all know that once a party had emotionally checked out… they may have well physically deserted you.  Read more...

 As mentioned during our birthday celebration, we are looking to bring you more new and exciting things in year two!  We are making some changes as we work to grow and expand all things boissuq, and amongst those changes is the addition of new writers to the team…  We have a very creative and talented young lady that is up for the challenge, and I would like you to all give her a warm welcome!  I am excited… can’t wait to read what she has to share!  Read more...

in every relationship, we each bring baggage. our past relationships, our past experiences, and our past in general, affect how we deal with our romantic reality (you like that term, don’t you?).

the biggest issue in most of our relationships, is not the things that she has said (we’ll deal with the bois later), but the things that she has not said–but that you have probably noticed.  Read more...

after posting a thought on facebook about “real friends,” and receiving numerous responses.  i had to pause for a moment to simply examine the thought of being real…especially in relationships.  there are simply too many plastic relationships floating around and while it seems harmless, people are becoming tainted and jaded by the acts of random plastics.

what’s a plastic?  Read more...

…and he’s married.

if i have heard it once, i have heard it ten times, “i only attract married men, and i don’t know why.”

well, at the risk of bursting your bubble, i am going to tell you what might be the problem– on both accounts.   Read more...

as i watch the encore presentations of “the real housewives of orange county,” i find myself being infuriated with the intrusions of one housewife into the married life of another. 

having friends is a great thing, especially when we are going through the trials and tribulations of life; however, when you start counseling people about relationships, it is  time to be truly cautious.  if it is a marriage, then your “advice” is impinging on a covenant relationship (AKA that’s “God’s stuff), if it is a monogamous relationship, then you run the risk of creating a situation where you become a negative influence, and ultimately an object of loathing.  Read more...

if i read one more headline, poll, or story discussing the topic of forgiveness, i just might scream.

this may come as shock to the sanctimonious people who read this site, but i will say it anyway:

people make mistakes, and by people, i mean us–all of us…the saints, the aint’s, and the whatever is left.  Read more...
