Most Commented Dating & Relationships Blogs (2,541)

Let's say for example, somebody falls in love with a person who smokes cigarettes.

However, the person who fell in love with the smoker does not like the fact that they smoke.

On the other hand, the smoker likes to smoke and does not want to quit.

But, the person who fell in love with them will not give up on the encouragement that they quit smoking.

Therefore my question....where does the line become blurred between love and controlling?


Of course...smoking is only one example...

It could be,

eating habits
friends one hangs out with
seeing family members
money spending habits
driving behavior
...the list goes on



"encouraging" was a moderate and somewhat innocent word to use...of course everyone's interpretation of that encouragement might be different...that includes receiving that "encouragement" and administering it. One could interpret encouragement as just that...encouragement. Whereas, another may interpret that same "encouragement" as nagging, complaining, or even threatening. It boils down to how one interprets it.

We're in a world full of "fish" lol

.....I grew up in a good family, my parents married over 50 years and still growing strong, one sister married for almost 20 years, another sister married over 20 years, another sister dating an awesome man for 5 years and my other sister in a relationship now for 12 years and then there's me lol....

I have wonderful friends that have known me a lifetime, friends who are married, friends that have girlfriends, friends that have boyfriends...again, then there's me.

I feel like I live in a world full of fish either just looking for friends or looking for sex, there is no in-between. I'm an outcast goldfish in an ocean full of betta's, waiting for someone to drop that worm on a hook and reel me out of this nightmare.....toss me in a pan and put me out of my misery lol

This blog is all in good fun though

Relationships can be a scary situation...especially if you are coming from a past relationship that had failed badly for you.

Why are relationships scary? It is primarily due to the uncertainty of the outcome of that relationship. Both men and women can get deeply hurt if they become involved with the wrong person. It is wise to vet the person you are going to become involved with...and that takes time for that the happen. However, what is the purpose of this vetting process if you do not understand the human dynamics of a relationship in the first place, and the human nature of toxic traits?

Many people have been properly taught what to look out for with toxic traits of people. This teaching primarily comes from one's parents. But, what happens when one is not taught that from their parents? What happens when one is raised in a family that did not have both parents? There are fundamental elements they are not going to learn...thus they still remain uneducated, picking wrong, single/divorced, and scared of entering a new relationship.

When one is educated on human nature and how to spot toxic traits with others, they can then make better decisions in their vetting process; thus, being willing and able to enter a new relationship in a more confident and comfortable way. I think the 50+% divorce rate speaks for itself on how well people have picked in the past. Is it too late to reduce the divorce rate and have couples happy again? I don't think so. But for that to happen, both men and women need to be educated to the reality of discerning a partner's value before jumping into something they regret later on. The sooner a man or a woman picks the right partner, the better it is for both of them.

But, we need to be educated.

Is this so wrong?

They are deleting profiles that are obviously fake in pretty quick order.

Is the concept of belonging to somebody becoming something of the past....belonging in a way that marriage promotes or exclusive relationships promote.

What are some of the advantages and/or disadvantages of somebody belonging to you or you belonging to somebody else.

The point is to weigh the pros and cons of each.


Happy Saturday all.

OK I'm back !!!
Thought I could function in the real world ,but was only deluding myself !!!
So who wants to start with the BS?

Few days ago I wrote a blog on CS profiles ..whether to believe it or no ....
One particular comment was very interesting would like to share it with you all


"A persons profile is like any form of presentation, a way of "selling" themselves to those that read it."

I can fall in love in a second, but mostly get to know the person, I'm attracted to, better. I'm in love at present, with the drop of a coin in a fountain. He's absolutely adorable.

Everyone makes comments on other people's blogs. We don't always agree or disagree on the subject matter, so we make a comment. Well this morning, a blogger who wrote a blog, deleted me because I didn't agree with him. WOW!!!! What a temper. He needs to grow up and smell the roses! This guy always tries to come across as a "mister nice guy". This hasn't happened to me since when I first came on CS a few yrs ago.

IMO, if you don't want a negative comment to your blog; then only write positive stuff! Hellllllo!
