I was shocked at the statistics that I found in the Globe and Mail’s article about cheating on your partner (see here) and now there is this article from Oprah’s site.
It is about the growth in Emotional Cheating. No physical intimacy, just a friendship that probably crosses the line, and affects the relationship you have [...]

Infomercial pitchman Billy Mays died at his Tampa, Florida, home Sunday morning, authorities told CNN. The 50-year-old, known for his shouting OxiClean ads, was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m.

I am trying to get back into dating mode, as it has been a few years without a partner, and I crave the communication and sharing especially. As such, I have been reading a lot about the topic. My first wife made it too easy for me, and now I am unsure how to go [...]
