  • Broken Relationship

    I hope this is as a fair place as any to get some advice. I have been in an almost 6 year relationship with a woman I love. That relationship is clearly on the rocks and in danger of shattering. I never cheated on her, I was never emotionally or physically abusive, I wasn't an alcoholic or drug addict; I just didn't see that she was unhappy. I ...

  • Albania-Bush Love

    Why do Albanians love George W Bush? Because nobody is perfect. Some are less perfect than others, whether they be in Albania, Oklahoma, or Texas. Cheers

  • Re: Dry Land

    Oh come on, sex is now somehow more important than love? That's not a world I want to live in. Don't get me wrong, sex is great and very important to me but I would never dream of ditching my husband if we hadn't been sexually compatible. Which, seriously, what does that even mean? What's the point of the endless books and articles on the subject ...

  • Blind coffee taste test

    Getting to know your favorite coffee is like falling in love. You catch its scent and wish it were cradled in your hands, warming them, like no other could. You visit the coffee house with the intentions of enjoying yourself and always make plans to return for another warm up. As the relationship deepens you want to know the profile, origin, and ...

  • Emily Running

    EMILY RUNNING My favorite time of day is walking Emily to school in the morning. We kiss as we leave our driveway so other kids won't see us. If I'm lucky, we have a second kiss, furtively, at the school-yard's edge. My insides beam as she turns from me and runs to the building where her class is held, blonde hair flowing, backpack ...

  • Lord Byron Biographers lie

    Readers are making the mistake of believing that all biographers tell the truth. Most seem to have an agenda. They want to prove something. When writing about Lord Byron most seem to want to prove tthat they are writers who can write about sex without blushing. . Biographies can be as ficitonal as any other writing. Sensationalism is sought ...

  • Love as chimera

    Excellent review Ms. O'Rourke! It it unlikely that I will read this, however. I find myself out off by any book that professes to define love, or holds one flavor above another. The fact of the matter is that in the end, all we have is our experience. Like Ms. Nehring's scars and other proofs of tempestous love, we all have our own. I am in a ...

  • My experience with a passionate older woman

    I've got the snark out of me now Betsy, so I hope y'all don't take me as seriously as all that. Some people are by nature emotionally driven, and passion in all things as a way of life has a lot of appeal to them. No amount of pop culture is going to make them happy to make their decisions out of a sense of duty, or rationality, or something ...

  • The security paradox

    I tend to take a more liberal stance than Nehring on marriage but I laud her critique on relational security. The obsessions with committment and security have replaced deep desire and insatiable attraction with a calculable assessment that asserts structure and control rather than flexibility and emotional relaxation. Love has never been more ...
