Relationship

Een kingsize bed, zijdezachte lakens, een fles champagne op ijs en een deur die stevig op slot zit. Geen rondslingerende was, geen kinderen die onverwacht binnenvallen en vooral: even helemaal niemand die iets van je wil. Alleen jij, je partner en een hotelkamer waar alles mag en niets hoeft. Klinkt goed, toch? Seks in een hotelkamer heeft iets onweerstaanbaars. Zelfs als je al jaren samen bent, kunnen een andere omgeving, een beetje luxe en het gevoel dat je er even helemaal tussenuit bent voor verrassend veel vuurwerk zorgen. Maar waarom worden we tussen de hotel lakens eigenlijk net even ondeugender dan...

In my opinion, many people who are being cheated on tend to understand why: to find a certain kind of reason or cause for why your partner has betrayed you. While those reasons often do not exist. Of course, studies have been conducted on the excuses used during infidelity, which zodiac signs cheat the most, but did you know that there is also a specific age at which most people cheat? New research shows that at this age, people are twice as likely to engage in infidelity. TWICE. Researchers have also referred to this age as the...

Being in a relationship with a narcissist is exhausting, and often it creeps in as well. You might not have noticed the narcissistic traits at first, but after a while, you no longer know how you ended up in this relationship — your relationship certainly doesn't feel as fun and nice as it did at the beginning. That's why it's always good to pay attention to certain actions and statements. Your partner doesn't have to be a narcissist to exhibit certain traits, and that alone can be enough reason to take a good look...

You feel something for someone and that feeling is strong. You only think about him. Miss him. Every minute. You text him, call him, want to be with him. Ah yes, being in love is wonderful, but what if you are a bit more in love than he is? These are the clear signs that you might need to take a step back. Because maybe you are rushing things and well, he is not. 1. He doesn't often take the initiative If you are usually the one who reaches out, sends a message, or makes plans, it could mean that he is less in love. If...

What are you secretly quiet about? Well, we women tend to keep quite a lot from our partners, according to research. But what do we most often keep a secret? It's very simple. And perhaps also logical. The answer is: money. And then in the sense of: our purchases and expenses. Sssst. That Mulberry bag? Oh, bought it at the sample sale, you know. Definitely not for the full price. Ahem. That new dress? No way, absolutely not new. I've had it for yeaaars. Yeah, that idea. But also about what we earn or have as savings, we sometimes forget to mention. But there...

Love is not always one big peak. It's not always sex, the scent of roses, and sharing a wine together. And it's not a party every day of the year, sultry romance, a thousand kisses, and loveyous. Much more often, it's, well, just. Being together. Without frills and fuss. And that's actually very beautiful and a good sign, if you don't have to rely on the huge fireworks in the relationship. If you have it good together, then you have it good. And then there are of course doubts in your love life: are you doing 'it' right? Do you fit together...

In every relationship, there are ups and downs. During longer relationships, you encounter various challenges, and it's figuring out how to deal with them each time.

Cheaters can be incredibly sly and sneaky, but they often lack originality. In fact, affairs are often full of clichés. And precisely because of that, you can catch them more easily, as it turns out that cheaters mainly use the same excuses. Of course, it could be that your partner uses these texts and it is really the truth, but if you can tick them all off, it might be time to raise the alarm. 1. ‘You're crazy!’ Especially placing the problem on the other, while the cheater knows full well that he/she is the one in the wrong. Cliché. 2. ‘I'm with my friends’ Nope, you are...

Imagine you're in troubled waters. You don't feel it anymore, you're doubting, you want to break up. Then you might think: couples therapy can help. Our last resort. But unfortunately, that's not always the case; in some instances, even the best therapist can do nothing for you. And that's a shame, but then you know for sure.
