Illuminating Narcissism
This part of the series will be focused on the fact that you unknowingly got involved with a narcissist. The mask kept their true identity hidden. More likely than not, you didn’t become aware of their true nature until they showed their true colors. None of this is your fault!

Legendary Poetry: In Latin we call it Dolor
In Latin we call it Dolor I look around the masses, the groups, the cliques, the couples, the individuals and notice what appears to be their fair lives. Lives so unlike the existence that I endure. So many people. And yet I am in pain. So much time. And yet I am in pain. So many places. And yet I am in pain. So many opportunities. And yet I am in pain.

Relationship with a Sociopath
In the summer of 2012. I met a younger man for a relationship on Craigs List. He was very tall and blonde and very good looking. He was 24 and I was 58 at the time. He looked like a fashion model. He was a gay man from my area. He didn't have a car or a job or much money. I met him and took him over my place. We talked and seemed to hit it off. I then took him for some pizza and took him home. He seemed nice but a little strange.

WHY DOES MY NEW GIRLFRIEND CONTINUALLY TALK ABOUT HER EX?
This is a good question not to ignore as it is a big red flag for both sexes to pay close attention to! It is not OK for your new partner to continually bring up her Ex. You are right to be concerned because it generally means she is emotionally unavailable and not ready to date. You will definitely have to have an honest conversation with her about this, and it is important to acknowledge this scenario early on and not to leave things unaddressed hoping it will go away.

You want to try every possible way to make things right between you and your partner. As long as you and your partner want to put in the effort to get your relationship back on track things will fall in your favor.

6 Ways to Improve Communication in our relationships
Disclaimers I tend to shy away from giving relationship advice because I do not believe that any 2 relationships are the same. If no 2 persons in this world are the same then it stands to reason that when 2 unique persons come together, then there can be no other relationship exactly like that one. However, we can have similar experiences. Any advice (even that which I am about to give) must be taken and tailored to your own circumstances.

Empathy Part 1
For those of us that have worked in the service industry it's become second nature to have empathy for others. But how do we teach empathy to those who don't need to use it in a work setting but more of a personal and political settings?

Why I’m Grateful For My Racist Ex. Top Story - June 2020.
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor' - Desmund Tutu In 2018 I was browsing in a Waterstones with my (white) ex. He picked up a copy of 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race' by Reni Eddo-Lodge which I had already read. He had a very disapproving look on his face and his body structure was identical to that of whenever I spoke about sexism. He was about to get defensive.

The Lie Hollywood Tells You About Communication
You thought your partner loved being caressed in the kitchen, but they don't. They thought you liked their mother-in-law's quiche, but they were wrong. Misunderstandings - they happen to the best of us - and cause problems, which explains why communication is so important in relationships.
