"7 Suprising Signs He will never marry you"
This article by Niki Evans (Cosmopolitan) is the truth! After reading this article, I no exactly why my past relationship's didn't work out.
1. All of his Exes are "Crazy"
Be carefull of a man who swears that his relationships ended because his girlfriends were all crazy or to clingy. The dude never really wanted the relationship to work in the first place.
2. He plans Ultra-Romantic Dates
It's very nice sometimes if your man wants to plan a date where it's only the two of you, but all the time? Something is definetly wrong! He could be doing this so that he never get's spotted with you in public. Next time he asks you to go out, you choose the destination and see what happen's from there.
3. He's Hot and Cold on the phone
He will text you all night or talk you on the phone for a bit and then disappear for days. He's most likely juggling other women.
4. He Guilt-Trips You
It is pretty normall for a guy to be "jonesing" to sleep with you from day one. "But this behaviour is a red flag if he a) lays the pressure on thick, or b) tries to make you feel bad if you choose not to have sex - like by giving you a sob story about blue balls."
5. Stuff is Missing from His Facebook
This one is pretty easy. If there is no sign of you on his facebook, something must be wrong, I think that excuse "I don't want everybody in our buisness" is so lame. He just may be leery of commitment.
6. His Buddies Act Distant
If his friends do not care about asking you even just a little questions about yourself or your life, it may be a sign that your not going to be around for a long time.
7. He Says You're Soul Mates
"We adore the idea of love at first sight", but not too much too soon. Be carefull of a man that is way to clingy such as telling you he loves you right off the bat. Trust your gut, he may have spoken these words many times.

Carrie's Closet from "Sex and the City"
Remember Carrie's closet (every girl's dream) from "Sex and the city"?
If you haven't heard already......a fan spend's 175k on a replica!
The closet was built by the set-designer from SATC the movie, Lydia Marks, and her business partner, Lisa Frantz. The Lady turned her 400 sq foot spare bedroom into this closet.
And it doesn't end there......supposibly the husband is getting one for himself to!
Like Carrie said...... "I like my money where I can see it, hanging in my closet"

"10 commandments for a great relationship"
Since it's close to valentines day, I came across these commandments on msn news and thought I would share it with you!
10 commandments for a great relationship
1. Drop the hollywood love theme and acquire realistic love life expectations
Meaning our relationship's always start "in a blissful state," however, when we become one that bliss fades and sometimes we tend to become exhausted. It is up to us to keep that spark alive because the fairytale is over!
2. Combine duties and chores
Split the chores evenly and it will "decrease stress on all accounts"
3. Banish your acting prowess and quit pretending nothing is wrong
Ladies, we are the queen's of doing this! Express your feeling's at all time's! If you don't communicate you will build up even more anger. Just throw it out there! Then have make-up sex *wink*
4. Do not strive for the title of gossip queen
Do not gush out all of your relationship problems to your gf's. It doesn't improve your relationship
5. Be yourself
Acting like your ok with your man playing nba 2k11 all day and not paying you no mind. This will "lead you on a pathway of misguided love." Dr. Teesha couldn't have said that any better!
6. Take control of one's own sexual satisfaction
A man is not a mind reader. Communicate on how you want it lol. If you don't and you become un-happy with your sex life, it's your own fault.
7. Do not take on another lover unless your partner does
Speaks for itself
8. Have a life outside of the "we"
In my opinion this is the 2nd most important commandment. Do not become too consumed with your partner and the relationship, you will forget about yourself.
9. Do not obsess about obtaining bodily perfection
No one is perfect. "Opening up your imperfect self to another is the first step to true intimacy and acceptance".
10. Do not try and "fix" one's partner, as they are not broken
You can only start making changes for life-long happiness. Work from the inside out and accept your other half for who they are. If you treat them as a project, you will blame them for your unhappiness.
