So that reads like either the movie True Lies or some comedy like the movie Dave, right ?


What if I told you that the man she was writing is her husband?

So it's like this:

 But with the same man:
 

...(if you know the show, you'll understand why I chose that picture)

 He's actually testing his wife as an alias cyber-freaky man, which leads to tip #5:

NEVER test your partner (they might disappoint). 

I feel sorry for the both of them, because in trying to cure his insecurity he took on a deceptive role (betraying his wife's trust), while finding out she's not only a cheater, but lacks guilt or concern for him. It's perfect for a script, but I would never advise this for couples who want to be seriously committed in their relationship.


My only advice to a person who doesn't trust who they are with is to ask themselves this:
If you have to measure the person's feelings for you, or test their loyalty then why are you with them?


This is my recipe for a confident and committed romance:
Real Monogamy  = Friendship + Communication + Trust + Affection + Mental and Physical Connection


Only then can you truly trust your partner, and yourself.
If you work on these aspects/factors, hopefully you can find out if the person you are with truly cares about your or not, and strengthen your relationship with them. 'Soul Mate' and 'True Love'  doesn't fall into the palm of your hand, and you don't get what you want without working for it. A good relationship is constant progress.

Loyalty would be the result of all of that, and rest assured a partner with all of those factors won't be wanting to leave your side.

Trust should be earned as much as it is gained.



Until next time,



Peace, blessedness, and light.

Tip #3 - 'You Can't Even Remember What I'm Trying To Forget'

What do you do when you've been hurt, and the person that hurt you is going to bed happy.

What do you do when you remember all of those important dates, times, and experiences, but the person that hurt you is having new dates, times and experiences with someone new?

Time # 3 comes from me, not Vatsayayana , Deepak or even Jesus:
When someone hurts you and doesn't care, you can focus on how happy they are OR you can focus on how happy you want to be again.


I'll use my most painful experience to expand on this tip:
When my pride was stomped on by my first (we dated openly and he didn't want to commit) and I ended it with him, he didn't even flinch.
I decided to make him feel bad by being with someone else, but I didn't like that perosn, so it only hurt more. Then he met someone. After 2 dates they were exclusive. I was infuriated. I became obsessed. I wanted him to feel as bad as I did. I wanted him to hurt as much as I had. I started stalking him on facebook to read the lovey dovey comments between he and his new girlfriend. Whenever he would write me, I would talk to him like it was ok, then write a really long letter saying 'it's not ok'. Eventually I wrote one saying I can't ever talk to him again. That letter helped me see I spent almost a year focusing on how much he moved on, and didn't give myself the chance to.

My boyfriend who I've known for a year (as of yesterday. Yey us!) can tell you the pain I went through as he stood by my side and comforted me was excruciating.

Over time I learned to re-work my thinking. He helped by giving me advice to stay in the moment (which means instead of focusing on the past or future, work on the present).
After all of the anger and frustration I decided to try using my ex as a teacher for future experiences. Whenever I would begin to feel angry and bitter, I'd tell myself 'but look and where you are now, and how much you've grown'. Whenever I'd sink into that deep mood I put myself in, I would do something that makes me smile and laugh. Eventually the dark mood faded, and I began to acknowledge what happened happened and accept it for what it was.

I even asked for support from my friends and family, and especially my boyfriend. The more people you have in your life helping you through this phase, the easier it is to go through it.

It was almost 3 years ago, yet took 2 1/2 years for me to go through the grieving process.


You can choose  focus on what is going in in their lives if you want, but the truth is, they aren't even thinking about you anymore. And that's ok.

It's ok that they have moved on, and one day you will too.
When it's all over and you're a better person for it you will look back on what happened thankful you experienced what you did and at least learned pain so that you could appreciate the joy of happiness.

Grief seems to come from what you can't change, and when you begin to acknowledge the things you can't 'fix' or 'change', the pain begins to fade, and you begin to heal.

No matter how hard it gets remember your peace of mind is what comes first. If it isn't, you shouldn't be with that person in the first place.

What's it been like for you? Are you in a relationship right now? Are you having problems getting over your ex? How has the grieving process been for you?

Till' next time :)

Tip #2 - Mallanāga Vātsyāyana, Deepak Chopra, and the Kamasutra

I won't go into detail, but I admire Vatsyayana very much. He may not of been the first, but he is the author and guru of the Kamasutra.

Kama = Sensual or Sexual Pleasure
Sutra = Thread

His teachings ranged from courting rules, to rules of marriage and finally (what the book is mostly known for) tantric sex positions.

Now, I don't agree with ALL of Vatsyayana's teachings. For example, one of his rules is that if a woman is too pale or too dark, she is not good enough for the man. He also respects the practices of courteseans and said they knew more about the power of lovemaking than many others. I disagree. I believe anyone can be a master at lovemaking IF they practice it wisely.

I believe the best way to do that is to realize that every time you practice an act of sex (even foreplay), is to acknowledge it is a sacred act.

The disagreements I have with Vatsyayana's laws are why I mentioned Deepak Chopra in my title. He is a modern age Vatsyayna, and though he acknowledges the old rules of Kamasutra, advises the modern world to remain progressive.
"Lovemaking is akin to spiritual achievement" - Deepak Chopra

The more you tie spirituality into sex, the more sex means to you and he more special it is. It will no longer be a commodity but a higher form of expression and love, which I believe could be humanity's greatest achievement (love, not in relation to lovemaking itself haha).

So here is where my tip #2 comes in:
If you practice Kamasutra, try to learn as much about it as possible. A good place to start is with Deepak's version of the Kama Sutra. ( Book Cover ) It's simplified, involves the 7 Laws, and sex positions in the form of stories along with amazing art work.

I liked it so much, I have an art piece dedicated to this book as well:
Coming Of Age


Finally, I'd also suggest checking out some of the links around my page. Some have proven to be helpful.

Tip #1 - 'The Compatibility Chart Got It Wrong...Again!!'

If you are frustrated with generic predictable compatibility charts that always get it wrong, this tip is for you.

The truth is, we are not one sign. We are 3.
I know what you are thinking: 'It's like those credit score commercials'.
No, it's not. It's better!

What you need to figure out your 'trinity' is a Birth Chart. Here's one:
http://www.0800-horoscope.com/birthchart.php
Though some of the suggested sites on my page are just as helpful like astro.com

So, he isn't just a smoldering Scorpio or mysterious Pisces. She isn't just a catty Aries or sensitive Cancer.

When you want to find out more about compatibility, seek information from all 3 signs:
Sun - Character
Moon - True Emotion, or in psychological terms: Shadow
Rising / Ascendant- Location of sun at your birth, PERSONALITY

For example, I'm Gemini (sun), Cancer (moon), Virgo (rising) which means I'm an outgoing yet sensitive obsessive compulsive organizer.


I suggest finding out your 'Trinity' as well. The more you know about yourself, and you're potential mate/partner, the easier it is to figure out how compatible you TRULY are.


Let me know if this helps ? Thank you :)
