By Barbara Rose, Ph.D. Perhaps you are not in a relationship, and perhaps you are avoiding one intentionally. I also experienced this phase. I was avoiding a new relationship because I hadn’t yet gained enough trust in myself to know that I would be safe by following my truth at all times. Avoidance of relationships is advisable only when you truly need time away from relationships to get to know yourself, who you are, and what you prefer; when you need time to develop confidence in following your truth. Knowing your preferences regarding your romantic love life also means that if your romantic love life does not match your preferences and if it cannot be worked out to match your truth, then you will survive and be perfectly fine as you graciously exit the relationship. Perhaps you are not ready to settle down with one person. Does this mean that you need to deprive yourself of experiencing joy and closeness, being a true friend, and sharing genuine companionship with someone? Not every relationship requires that you stay in it until your last breath in this lifetime. This is why people get to know each other. Getting to know someone takes time and many experiences. As you begin to follow what your heart and guts are telling you rather than any fears or insecurities that pop up in your mind, you will come to know what real self-love feels like. It feels like a ride down a river, a ride in which you are alert, awake, extremely aware, and going with the flow at each turn. If you discover that you truly do not desire to share more time with a person you have been with, then simply move on with your life. Alternatively, if someone you loved simply stopped seeing you, it is so important for you to know that this has absolutely nothing to do with your worth or value as a human being. What if you truly did not desire to continue to be with someone? Does this mean that the person is not a valuable and worthy human being? No, all it means is that you have different preferences. So if you feel sad over a recent breakup, which is so common, just know that as you begin to discover and create joy in your life by moving your life in a pure, positive, and enjoyable direction, your happiness will quickly return. You cannot hinge your happiness on another human being, ever. When you begin to see that you can create joy in your life by living according to your preferences, you will feel a lot more secure inside. Copyright 2006 Barbara Rose, Ph.D. All Rights Reserved.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dheeraj_Bojwani] Dheeraj Bojwani India offers cutting edge obesity surgery to excess weight gain. Indian Health care industry is undergoing phenomenal expansion. The combination of high quality services and low cost facilities is attracting thousands of international patients every year. This is hardly surprising considering the cost of obesity surgeries in India is 10 -15 times lower than anywhere else in the world. When compared to other popular countries, India has the advantage of hospital facilities, experienced doctors and cost. Compared to Thailand, India on average is 50% cheaper. What is Weight-Loss Surgery? Weight-loss surgery alters the body’s digestive process by limiting the amount of food the stomach can hold and/or by limiting the absorption of nutrients. The most common procedures are restrictive, malabsorptive or a combination of both procedures. Restrictive procedures reduce the amount of food the stomach can hold, but don’t interfere with the body’s normal digestion of food and nutrients. Malabsorptive procedures bypass most of the small intestine so that fewer calories and nutrients are absorbed. Combined procedures restrict food intake as well as the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs. Who Is a Candidate for Weight Loss Surgery? Doctor is patients best resource for finding out more about whether weight-loss surgery is right for patient. Usually, the history of a patient’s health and objective measures of weight are used to determine whether surgery is an option. In general, candidates for weight-loss surgery meet all of the following criteria: A body mass index (BMI) of more than 40, or roughly 100 pounds (lb) or more, is considered seriously overweight for men; a BMI of more than 35, or 80 lb or more is considered seriously overweight for women, plus a history of associated medical disorders, such as diabetes, cardiopulmonary disease and obesity-induced musculoskeletal problems Aged at least 18 years, though some younger people may also be candidates A history of unsuccessful attempts at no surgical weight-loss treatments A person who undergoes weight-loss surgery needs to make a lifelong commitment to a new lifestyle, including a new nutrition and exercise regimen, otherwise weight-loss surgery will probably not be effective. What is involved in Preparing for the Weight Loss Surgery? First, a rigorous medical and psychological screening process, performed by a team of doctors, will determine if patient are a candidate. This process helps to identify the aspects of patients health that will improve following surgery, as well as the aspects that may increase the risks associated with surgery. Patient will also want to come to a complete understanding of the significant, lifelong, lifestyle changes patient must commit to, including diet, exercise, limiting alcoholic intake and smoking cessation, if necessary. The procedures of Weight Loss Surgery: There are two main types of weight loss surgery also known as obesity surgery. These are gastric banding and gastric bypass. Gastric Band Surgery: Gastric banding, sometimes known as ‘lap banding’ is a highly effective weight loss surgery procedure to help overweight people achieve substantial and long-term weight loss. The operation limits how much food patient can eat. An inflatable band is placed around the stomach to divide it into two parts. This creates a smaller pouch at the top, which takes less food to make patient feel full. The food then passes slowly through the opening left by the band into the lower part of patients stomach and continues on as normal. The gastric band can be inflated with saline solution to reduce the size of the opening into the lower part of the stomach. This will restrict the amount of food patient can eat further, and make patient feel fuller for longer. The band is inserted laparoscopically, through four or five small incisions. This is sometimes referred to as keyhole surgery. Adjustments to the gastric band are made by injecting fluid through a very small tube, which has a special button-like reservoir just under patients skin. It can be inflated and deflated in this way, until the right level of restriction is established. It usually takes two adjustments to find the right level of restriction, but additional adjustments may be required. These will be carried out at hospital, and the first one is usually six weeks after surgery. Gastric Bypass Surgery: A gastric bypass is also a highly effective weight loss surgery procedure. It helps very overweight patients to achieve substantial and permanent weight loss. It does this by restricting the amount patient can eat, and by reducing the amount of calories absorbed from the food that patient do eat. The operation creates a small stomach pouch in the same way as the gastric band. But instead of the food passing into the stomach through the band, it bypasses the stomach and much of the intestine through a small intestine that has been rerouted and grafted onto the small stomach pouch. The procedure can be carried out laparoscopically, by keyhole surgery, through five or six small incisions. It can also be carried out as an open operation with one vertical incision in the abdomen. Recovery Time after Weight Loss Surgery: Recovery time and surgical complications vary with the type of weight-loss surgery. Adjustable gastric banding is associated with the shortest recovery time, with hospitalization after surgery usually lasting less than 24 hours. With the combination procedures, patient should expect to be in the hospital for three to five days, or two to three days with the laparoscopic procedure. With all of these procedures, patient will need a new nutrition plan after surgery. Patient will not be allowed to eat anything for two to three days following surgery. Then patient will follow a specific dietary progression for about 12 weeks. This dietary progression begins with only liquids and ends with regular, solid food. Travel to India For Weight Loss Surgery: In today’s times in India, medical technology has found answers to almost all physiological and obesity problems and Weight loss surgery is one of them. The Indian healthcare sector has been growing at a very fast pace in the past few years. The windfall began ever since the developed world discovered that it could get quality service for less than half the price. Price advantage is a major selling point. The slogan, thus is, “First World treatment’ at Third World prices”. The cost differential across the board is huge: only a tenth and sometimes even a sixteenth of the cost in the West. Weight loss related surgeries in western countries cost three to four times as much as in India. However, it is not only the cost advantage that keeps the sector ticking. It has a high success rate and a growing credibility. India has a lot of hospitals offering world-class treatments in nearly every medical sector from cardiology to cosmetic. In addition to the increasingly top class medical care, a big draw for foreign patients is also the very minimal or hardly any waitlist as is common in European or American hospitals.

By Kacy Carr Why is it when planning your wedding - you will notice most wedding arrangements involved are nearly always directed towards the brides needs. Some women tend to forget that there is a bridegroom who needs looking after i.e. wanting to look his best (handsome) on the same day as the bride is to look her prettiest. Well guys when your wedding plans are in motion - I am afraid it is the bride that comes first in most cases, however - you fellas need to look on the bright side because, when the love of your life stands along side you at the altar dressed all in white or ivory and her sparkling tiara holds her wedding veil in place, it is then you will realize when planning your wedding took place, your wife-to-be made every effort to make this day special for you - just by looking radiantly beautiful. When planning your wedding it is best for the couple to be together when finalizing any decisions on who is to attend the marriage service (ceremony) i.e. guest list, or where the reception is to be held or where the honeymoon destination will be. It makes sense to see eye to eye on specific matters on particular events so as not to argue before the marriage vows are pledged. It is not a good start to a happy marriage (relationship) should you and your future husband - disagree on matters when planning your wedding. Careful planning right down to the last little detail will entail applying some common sense on to your wedding-to-do-list. Wisdom also prevails at a time like this “Learn by others mistakes” for example not to go over your budget. Spending more than what you can afford can be disastrous. Planning well ahead of time will and can surely make your wedding day an extra special occasion. Cost effective weddings can be just as grand as one you had paid through the nose for. Take the bridal gown a very costly wedding accessory of which can set you back hundreds of pounds even reaching a thousand and over - of which you only get to wear once, so bear this in mind and consider buying a second hand wedding dress. A used bridal gown will have only been worn once - so you could say the dress is as good as new. When planning your wedding, and counting the pennies is a top priority then down size on how many tiers of wedding cake is to sit as a centre piece on the wedding breakfast table. Wedding cakes are baked with an assortment of ingredients - rich in taste and texture, but not to every ones taste or liking, so therefore to please all the wedding guests and your pocket - why not have a sponge cake decorated in piped cream and edible tiny rose buds. By doing this you will have filled the bellies of all as well as your pocket. The savings from not having a caked baked with mixed fruit i.e. orange/lemon peel, marzipan etc can be put to better use. Another money saving idea in getting you to the church on time is to consider swapping the vintage Rolls Royce to a smaller vehicle adorned with ribbons. Remember - once the bride lifts up her gown above the ankle displaying her leg and the neat fitting brocade wedding slipper - all eyes will be on her and not the transport she arrived in.The bridal bouquet is an important accessory of which you will have had on you`re to do list when planning your wedding but however this also can set you back a few bob. Why not create your own; a hand held bunch of fresh spring flowers or summer roses is very attractive. Hold a clutch bag decorated in bloom buds or hold a bible. When planning your wedding remember that common sense will have you jetting off into the sunshine on honeymoon to the destination of your dreams with the extra pennies you saved.

By John C. Anderson The final 22 verses of chapter 31 in the book of Proverbs present an acrostic poem in which each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This poem contains the sage advice of a mother to her son, a king named Lemuel. She outlines for him what he should be looking for in a prospective wife. Lemuel’s mother describes a capable woman, one any mother would be delighted to see her son marry. It is a woman she describes that would inevitably help create the family and relationships her son would have one day. This woman is a jewel. She can be trusted (verse 11) to do the right thing, whether in evaluating and purchasing real estate (verse 16), buying and selling merchandise (verses 14 and 24), managing the household staff (verses 15 and 27), providing for the needs of her family (verses 15 and 21), or helping the poor and needy (verse 20). She is an industrious individual (verses 13, 15, 17-19, 22). She is a person of inner strength (verse 25), wisdom and compassion (verse 26). Though this portrayal describes an idealized woman whose characteristics would be hard for anyone, woman or man, to live up to, it says a lot about the biblical ideal for society. Caring for her family and supporting her husband is her primary focus, but neither her husband nor the society in which she lives constrains her from using her many skills. She is able to serve her family and others because the cultural and legal standards of her society give her freedom to function in areas that many societies, even to this day, prohibit women from entering. While few individuals can measure up to this idealized standard, even fewer societies throughout history have accorded women the opportunities and freedom to do so. The biblical ideal portrayed in Proverbs 31 indicates that the cultural standards the Creator set for His people were far more progressive than many would believe. The Bible relates that God created man and woman in His image (Genesis 1:27). The first woman, Eve, is pictured as having been created from Adam’s rib, not as some subspecies but as a person of comparable talents and abilities (Genesis 2:18). In marriage, a woman is instructed to submit to her husband’s authority (1 Peter 3:1), but in the next breath the husband is commanded to treat her with understanding and to honor her as one having the same potential for eternal life–”heirs together of the grace of life,” as the apostle Peter expressed it (verse 7). The biblical model for society is patriarchal in structure, but it has little in common with the selfish, uncaring, male-dominated patriarchies this world has produced throughout history. Rather, the biblical model reflects God’s own loving character. A husband is to love his wife as much as he does himself, and the wife is to respect her husband (Ephesians 5:33). A society with this at its foundation doesn’t establish a multitude of rules restricting women at every point of the compass. Some fortunate couples have succeeded in working together in the kind of loving harmony and respect implied by Proverbs 31, but sadly it has never become norm for our society and culture as the Bible directs us to follow.

By John McDermott, Jr Are you wanting to lose weight? Here are some known facts about Obesity: Obesity is more than an aesthetic problem or an issue of a few extra pounds here or there. Obesity is an epidemic in our western world that shows no signs of fading away; in fact, the situation continues to worsen. Soon, obesity will pass tobacco as the leading cause of preventable deaths. “Overweight and obesity may soon cause as much preventable disease and death as cigarette smoking,” said David Satcher, the U.S. Surgeon General. “People tend to think of overweight and obesity as strictly a personal matter, but there is much that communities can and should do to address these problems.” Obesity is defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) level of greater than 30. Incredibly, an estimated 300,000 U.S. deaths each year are associated in some way with obesity and overweight. Cost-wise, the price is steep as well: the total direct and indirect costs attributed to overweight and obesity were $117 billion in the year 2000. Our Healthpointe Weight Loss Program can help and is simply living up to its name, i.e. WEIGHT LOSS! In fact, when I was introduced to the program by two leading Australian Personal Fitness Trainers, I wanted to see the results before I started to promote it. I was sceptical about getting involved with this program because there are so many so called, ‘Weight Loss Programs’ out there in the our market place so I introduced it [for free] to a friend who has always wanted to lose weight. She is achieving great results! I am a Personal Fitness Trainer with over 15 years experience in fitness training and I have not seen such great results from people using the Healthpointe Weight Loss Program. As an introductory offer, I actually do not make any money out of this program because, although this program has a proven track record with other Personal Fitness Trainers, I want to see results with new clients that I myself come across.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michele_Webb] Michele Webb Healthcare professionals are under pressure to remember, utilize and absorb vast amounts of new or changing information in increasing volume. This surge has led to new and improved computer-based tools for many healthcare activities and to an explosion in the marketplace of tools used in instruction and education of healthcare workers. This article explains the use of interactive technology in healthcare and how this benefits instruction and education of healthcare professionals. Digital systems that capture images from documents, 35-mm slides, physical samples or specimens, or virtually anything that the camera lens can see, is found in interactive technology. In healthcare, transmitting these images to computers with simple devices or software that will allow the display and integration of educational material into the training environment is easily accommodated. The method for delivering these images or documents, usually via PowerPoint presentations, photography, videotape or audio presentations can turn a standard Windows PC into a dynamic, interactive, teaching tool. Depending on the type of training environment needed, interactive presentations can be found in the use of liquid crystal displays, large plasma displays, rear projection systems or even whiteboards. Educators can now tailor their courses to their audiences expectations and needs using any number of these presentation forms. Effectiveness of interactive learning systems is largely dependent upon the type or form of delivery used in combination with software that is easily used by both novice and expert users. Smaller systems will use a pen or stylus vs. a computer and a mouse where larger systems may use elaborate videoconferencing systems where many participants can be in the virtual classroom at the same time. Many healthcare organizations already utilize small and large types of communication systems routinely in the delivery of quality, high-tech healthcare to patients and their community. Adapting this equipment or having it serve dual purposes is an easy and cost-effective transition. The era of the blackboards and chalk dust is now a memory for most of us. Interactive technology tools permit the educator to draw on, write on, and annotate data right on the screen as part of their dynamic presentation. In addition, the educator can now annotate their presentation and then save, print and even distribute by email, the contents of the class session to all participants. The mobility that interactive technology gives the educator in the virtual classroom lends itself to unlimited types of uses and methods for delivery of high quality, interactive, sessions. Participants, too, benefit from easy access to the sessions, improved and more accurate note-taking that can be used later for study and reference. This all leads to greater retention of the learning objectives and enhanced or improved application in the field once the participant returns to the office or department. Healthcare professionals should look for educators and learning systems that combine ergonomics with interactive technologies that integrate use the user of free text, annotation, images and video clips with the traditional printed materials. Transitions between screens or programs, linking to the Internet and class sessions, downloading or printing of the course materials and saving of files or information for future classes or reference use should be easy and simple to use. The presentation and delivery of the educational material should be efficient and easy to use and tailored to use by both healthcare professionals that have varying levels of technological skills. Regardless of whether healthcare workers are new to the workplace or seasoned professionals, the learning systems used should assist them with learning new skills, procedures, diagnostic techniques and terminology. Communication between healthcare workers in both local and distant communities is on the rise and the use of interactive technology enables the participants to collaborate and share critical data and information. Interactive technology can also benefit the bottom line and reduce costs formerly associated with travel or staffing and resources to send workers to local, regional or national meetings. Interactive presentations and systems can also attract and hold the participants interest and attention, enhancing their learning and retention gained from the course(s). It is no wonder, then, that interactive technology has gained such a strong and prominent position in the education of healthcare workers. Healthcare workers looking for either online, distance or local training should evaluate the presentation and delivery systems used in order to maximize their learning experience.

By Teddy Shabba A woman, who is ready to get married, is Not a woman that any man should want to date. Many women want to get married sooner or later, however, they want to marry the man of their dreams, soul mate, or Mr. Prince Charming. Bottom line is most women want a man who they are attracted to. On the other hand women who are ready to get married right now, want a man who fits her certain criteria that she wants in a husband. Even though her standards have more than likely lowered to the point that most men will fit into her criteria, in fact attraction is not necessary in order for her to get married, however, she will never truly be happy. More importantly it means that once you hook up with a woman like this and get married there will be no sex. In fact no matter how great things where before marriage after you get married you can expect her to treat you with a certain amount of contempt and disrespect. Mainly because after she gets married the reality will set in that she has just married a man she isn’t even attracted to. From there it is only a matter of time before she files for a divorce or depending on how much of a man you really are you do it yourself.

By Giles Higgitt After exploring your motives and timing, you have decided you want to search for that long lost family member or friend. There are many reasons we lose touch with people who are important to us, so planning a reunion can be emotional or even volatile. Employing a skilled professional investigator and genealogist to act as a mediator during your initial dealings with an estranged person can make the difference between a positive first contact and an unsuccessful one. You should first consider why this person is missing from your life. Is it because of an adoption? Perhaps your birth parents have remarried and have additional children, or maybe they have physical or emotional problems that made them unable to assume their role as parents. Was there a family feud? It is possible the person still has unresolved feelings of anger or sadness. Are you missing a long lost family member or mate? Consider why you lost touch, what the person may be doing now and if you would be welcome or a disturbing presence in their life. Also, make sure to examine your personal feelings and whether you can really handle the reaction you get when this person finds out you want to get in touch with them. Depending on your unique circumstances, having a reunion with a long lost person can be emotional and even traumatic. Prepare for a possible reunion by letting go of any personal expectations and fantasies before they can harm the new relationship. If you keep it pleasant and light, you can avoid frightening or alienating the person you want to contact. By enlisting the services of an investigator and genealogist to assist you with locating someone, they will also be available to act as a mediator during the critical initial contacts with that long lost person. It is important to consider that no matter how cautiously you approach contacting a person you located, just the mention of your name could make them nervous. Using a mediator as a go-between gives the person you wish to reunite with a chance to absorb the concept that you are looking for them. After all, just hearing about you could stir up a plethora of emotions and memories for the person. Furthermore, the person may want to discuss the possibility of meeting you with their family and friends before responding to your inquiry and re-establishing contact. Another benefit of using a mediator is that the investigator’s address and telephone number can be used as non-threatening preliminary means of contact. By using a mediator, you protect everyone’s privacy and afford the person you are searching for the opportunity to consider and prepare for a possible reunion. If all initial contacts go smoothly, you all may decide to share personal contact information and take it from there on your own. Remember to take it slow, not expect too much at first and consider meeting at a neutral location where everyone will feel comfortable. Mediators have been trained in the necessary skills to effectively locate someone and make the initial contact with tact and sensitivity. Because you are personally involved in the situation, getting in touch with that long lost person can be difficult and even traumatic. A mediator, although sensitive to everyone’s needs, is also an impartial, experienced professional who knows how to properly approach reunion situations. The mediator can smooth over a difficult reunion by diplomatically communicating with both parties and easing the tension. On the other hand, a mediator can also communicate to you if it is better to refrain from contacting someone and the reasons why. In order for a reunion to be successful, both parties need to have patience and understanding. A great deal of time and effort can go into locating someone and setting up that first meeting effectively. A professional mediator will make the difficult reunion process easier for all parties involved. A mediator, because of their background and expertise, can even be successful in setting up a meeting with someone who may have otherwise declined. An impartial third party can make all the difference between having a fulfilling encounter with a long lost person or never making positive contact at all.

By Stephanie Smith Wedding planning can be fun and sometimes a little overwhelming, especially when it comes to decorating. There are a lot of little things that can have a huge impact without taking a lot of time. While many facilities will take care of the decorating for you, most ceremony locations don’t. They just don’t have the staff or the demand to provide that kind of service, although they can sometimes offer advice as to what other couples have done in the past. Ask lots of questions and keep an open mind. The ceremony location, whether it be a church, park, or backyard, will likely be where you spend the least amount of time on your wedding day, but it’s where the most important thing happens! You don’t want to spend your entire decorating budget here, but you do want everything to be perfect. There are a few different areas you can focus your attention on and some areas you may not want to get too caught up with. With some advanced planning and a little help from friends on the big day, your ceremony location can look almost as fantastic as you do. Altar - A couple of well-placed flower arrangements close to the altar will have a huge impact to the atmosphere of your ceremony. The flowers can either match the bridal bouquets or be all white, or even an assortment of colors that complement your bridal party. When choosing these arrangements consider reusing the bouquets at the reception location after the ceremony, and what kind of arrangement will suit both venues. Also consider whether you want to use real or silk flowers. Silk arrangements can be a great fuss-free alternative and can be prepared well in advance of the wedding to minimize last minute stress. All you need on the wedding day is someone to set them up at the ceremony location and then bring them to the reception. Entrance - A great way to welcome your guests to your ceremony is to add a special touch to the door or entrance so the mood is set as soon as they walk in. You could hang a wreath or two on the doors, put a planter with some potted flowers on either side of the door, or even put a sign on or near the door welcoming your guests with a love poem. Many couples use wedding programs as a way to introduce their bridal party to guests and to add special messages they may not have an opportunity to say out loud. Extra programs can be arranged in a decorated basket, or on a small table just as people enter. Plain baskets can be decorated with silk flowers or vines, which can also be prepared well before the wedding day. Pews - You’re likely to find conflicting advise about pew decorations. I personally think they’re overrated and are often more hassle than they’re worth. The traditional pew decoration is to tie or tape a tulle bow to the end of the pew. I’ve seen many weddings where the bows start to fall off as guests walk past and are seated, not to mention when the bride walks down the aisle with her fancy dress and train! If not secured carefully, pew bows can look more messy than festive, and no bride wants to be wearing pew bows an an extra accessory. An alternative to is to have a spray of fresh or silk flowers (securely) attached to the pew. Those are the basics covered off. If you want to go all out with decorating, consider using an archway at the entrance or beginning of the aisle. The arch can be decorated with tulle, flowers, ribbons and/or garlands. Just make sure you and your escort can fit through it with ease. You can also decorate the table where you and your honey will be signing the record of marriage. Try using some ribbons around the edge of the table, or a bouquet that complements any flowers you have closer to the altar. A word about candles… they can be a great addition to a wedding ceremony, especially during evening celebrations, but think ahead before getting your heart set on them. During outdoor weddings, the slightest breeze can blow them out if they aren’t properly protected. For indoor ceremonies, make sure you have the appropriate holders for them. I once attended a wedding where most of the guests paid more attention to the wax dripping onto the carpeted church floor than they did to the exchanging of vows. The couple had dozens of candles in fancy candelabras which looked great at the start of their sunset ceremony, but had melted into a big mess by the end. If you intend to use candles, check with the facility to make sure they will allow it, then ensure that the candles and the hot wax will be well-contained. Make sure you visit the ceremony location often to make your decorating plans. You don’t need to have any decorating surprises on your wedding day, so measure areas you want to decorate and plan accordingly. Also bring with you the person who will be setting up your decorations so they are comfortable with the arrangements and may notice if furniture has been unexpectedly moved. You won’t likely have time to do the decorating yourself, and your sweetie will be too nervous to remember where things go and what they’re supposed to look like, no matter how early he gets there.

By Toni Kiser Relationships. Theyre complicated, right? At least thats what weve been told, well, since childhood, girlhood, womanhoodwhatever. The point is theyre not easy. Growing up, adults try to explain away the differences between men and women in every way imaginable. Boys tease you because they like you. Women are more in-tune with their emotions than men. When I was in my first relationship, my dad (yeah, thats right, my DAD! Ughh!!!) gave me this book by a doctor named John Gray. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, was the name of it. Im sure youve heard of it, or perhaps even read it (I, myself, only made it through about 30 pages or so). Even if you havent read it, even if you didnt know it was actually a book, Im sure youve heard that men are from Mars, women are from Venus thing used in conversation, on TV, somewhere, everywhere. Well, it certainly seems sometimes, (all rightall the time), that men are from a different planet. But, what happens when you start dating guys that are all not just from Mars, but from the same country in Mars, state, even city? What happens when every guy you end up with, seems, well, like the same guy? I guess I was about 15 when I had my first boyfriend. Boring stuff. Not at the time of course, but far too droll to write an article about. You know the score. First time holding-hands, then first kisses, first kisses with tongue, first 2 hour make-out sessions in the back row of some movie theater, where you cant even recall what was playing (So how was the movie kids?) It wasnt until somewhere around 21 that the real dating began, if you could call it that, the real part, I mean. Everybody knows that in the beginning of a relationship no one is real. Im not even sure that there is a real before at least 25 or so, but thats a whole other article. Anyway, well call this one Ted, to protect the innocent. Innocent? That doesnt sound right. Well go with it though, for lack of a better word that doesnt rhyme with Bass-mole. I digress. Ted seemed charming enough. Like most red-blooded American boys, he, of course, wanted to get laid, and would do anything and say anything to do just that. But getting laid wasnt the problem. At least sex is something you can count on. I mean, you know they want it, think they need it to survive, and you know you hold the key, like some super-hero power. It is, at least, something you can control, understand, something ingrained in you by Mother Nature. In many ways its the easiest part of a relationship. But after the sex part is out of the way, what then? Ted was a nice, sensitive guy. Not long after we met he fell into some bad luck. His roommate situation went sour and he needed help. He had nowhere to go, and his car wasnt running. I had been independent for a long time, and was settled, neatly, into my own place. I had a good car, a fairly good job, and no real relationship with my parents (long story). So when he asked if he could move in for a while, I said Of course! After all, I did really like him. He promised to help with bills, and I agreed to give him rides to work. Things didnt go exactly as planned. The first month passed, and rent was due. Ted didnt have all of it. He said he had been putting money into fixing his car. I told him I would cover what he was lacking. The next month it happened again, but I thought nothing of it. After all, a man needs a car, right? I figured everything would get easier after his car situation was better. I continued to give him rides to work everyday. I took him to the store to get cigarettes, to restaurants, to buy groceries. Even on my days off, I got up early so I could take Ted to work. Then something happened. I began to notice that I was the one paying for the cigarettes, the groceries, the restaurants, and the gas to take him to work. A seed of resentment and doubt began to grow. It had been three months now, and Teds car still wasnt running. He had put no money away to get his own place. What was he doing with his money? We began to fight a lot. Finally one day, guns were blazing and I told him it was over and he needed to move out. After an unpleasant departure, Ted was gone, and I had my home back again. After a few months I met a new guy, Collin. It was Christmas Eve, and I, having no family to spend the holidays with, was doing my laundry at a nearby Laundromat. Collin and I started up a conversation while transferring clothes to the dryer. He was very handsome, and we seemed to have everything in common. A few days after we met, Collins roommate got them evicted, he said, and asked if he could stay with me for a while. I said yes, and helped him move in. Hed had a DUI a few months back and couldnt drive. At first, we had a lot of fun together. We went out every night. Collin played guitar, and sometimes would play me songs for hours after we got home. We talked about everything. When we had been living together for about a week I got very sick. Collin woke me when he got home from work, and asked me to drive him to the bar. When I said no, a little hurt that he seemed so uncaring about my illness, he got very angry. I finally got up and took him. I started to notice bottles of bourbon came and went very quickly around Collin. When rent came due, he didnt have it. How was this possible? Id asked him to pay very little, and he didnt have a car or any other bills, so what was he spending all his money on? Booze. It didnt take me as long to kick Collin out as it had Ted. Perhaps, I had learned and was applying my knowledge. Perhaps it was because the better I got to know Collin, the more he lost his temper, and the less I liked him. There were a few more (than Id like to admit) cases of the guy who needed a place to stay. I began to wonder, Why do I always end up with guys who cant take care of themselves? And then it clicked. They needed me. Not in the good way, but that didnt matter. I mentioned before that I didnt really have a family, so to speak. I felt alone. These men, losers or not, needed me, depended on me. They couldnt leave, because they had nowhere to go, and no way to get there. Once I had identified the pattern, it was easy to avoid. I hung out with friends more, participated in healthy activities with healthy people, and before long, I started to meet healthy men. While these stories are factual, and, sadly, it did take me quite a few years and experiences to realize my mistakes, it doesnt have to for you. Take the time to analyze your past relationships and recognize aspects of them that seem to repeat themselves. Once you recognize the recurring themes of your relationships, you too can begin to change them. Then you can move on to another country of men. Hopefully this one will be the healthy one youve been looking for. If not, at least by the time you get there, youll be well traveled.
