It's all fun and games until someone breaks up. You can't blame Facebook for all failed relationships, but the social network service does have a strong influence on the strength and health of today's young couples. Considering the popularity of Facebook and its interactive features that are oh-so-public, it's no wonder why it has taken over so man y relationships. The solution is not to abstain from Facebook, but rather not let Facebook define your relationship.  Here's 10 ways Facebook ruins relationships: Increases Jealousy : Facebook breeds jealousy in more ways than one. From old flames writing on your bf or gf's wall, accepting friends of the opposite sex that you don't know or "liking" someone's status one too many times is enough to drive some partners crazy. Jealousy stems from your own insecurities about your relationship, but turning to Facebook is only going to make it worse when you see something you don't approve of   

It all starts out simple. You were friends. Then you decided to ‘get busy’. Then you both decide to remain friends and continue to get busy. That’s it…no strings attached. Spooning is OK, but no one is obligated to sleep over. No one has to call the next day to check in. Both of you can even date other people. Simple, no?  “Cuddy buddies”, “FFs”, “ friends with benefits (F.W.B.)” or even "Fuck Buddies"– whatever fancy term you give it, there’s never anything simple about it. Relationships have become increasingly carefree and physical, as women and men are marrying later in life. The boundaries between male/female relationships are less apparent and sex easily slips into the dichotomy. On the surface it makes sense to enjoy sex with someone you can trust, if you both aren’t ready for a serious relationship. But for some strange reason, F.W.B. always turns into a bad situation. We can’t restrain you from acting on your burning loins, but can give a few tips to avoid an at

When you two first met the connection was undeniable...he/she wanted you and you wanted them. You were in awe of their smile, gentleness, mind and spirit; That person is now apart of your present and will be becoming your future..a new chapter in your book of life, they became your prince  and you their princess (or vice versa) who was once asleep until their soul kissed yours and you were awaken by what is called true love! A fantasy turned into reality, a love story you thought would never end; The tale of two lovers who are now enemies...the last chapter in your book of life turned from non-fiction to fiction in a blink of an eye. Does that sound familiar? Why are we painted a picture of what love should and suppose to be growing up as kids into adults which causes expectations of that picture that is now in a frame, stuck on the wall not just for your eyes but for everyone else to see. Love has many meanings and every person have their own meaning of what love is and shoul

It hurts to have to distance yourself from people you once cared about and some you still do..but deep down you know it's for the best because those people are on the same shit and all they're gonna do is bring you down and sometimes with their presence alone.  Send peace & love to those people because in their eyes they feel they are not doing anything wrong when in reality they're doing EVERYTHING wrong. You can't continue to help someone that isn't trying to help themselves. Those same people will continue to be in negative situations and will have to go through the circle of life of dealing with their issues over and over again until they learn their lesson...just don't let them to pull you into their situations or bring you down with them! Continue to send love to them from a distance and eventually they will accept change and be alright! Theresa Cattouse Wedding Officiant/Relationship Coach Twin Soul Connections

You work hard  (and you always have). You’ve never been lazy and you’re not a stranger to hard work... You know how to keep a job, you know how to achieve and excel. But the truth is, you’re not being p.aid nearly what you're worth (and truly haven’t been for years).  Despite your experience, education, and being a team player (whatever that means), you are still being paid LESS than the man in your department who:  Didn’t work nearly as hard as you... Didn’t go to school nearly as long... Got promotions he didn’t deserve... Easily makes WAY more than you for doing FAR less... Has the nerve to suggest that "people like you" are just handout recipients of affirmative action... Why is that? Well, let me explain...  For most Black women, we are labeled as:  Angry Aggressive and Confrontational (from the moment we step through the door). Ok, well that’s just the way it is - right? Are you sure? Do the people at your job have to explain to
