I’m a 30-year-old man who met my current partner about eight months ago. I was quite taken with her at first, but, as time has gone on, a few things have been eating away at me. Our sex is dull, dispassionate and unadventurous, mostly just moderately paced missionary. She tells me it’s the “best she’s ever had”, which has left me dumbstruck. And on two social occasions her friends, while inebriated, confirmed her feelings about our lovemaking. I have tried to speak to her about spicing things up, but although I’m not exactly wanting to swing from the rafters, she…

I can write intelligently about entrepreneurial marriages having founded two start-ups while married. I can also talk about surviving hard times, having lived during a global banking crisis (“The Great Recession) of 2007-2008 when my business involved the housing industry and the worldwide pandemic when 85% of my business was in-person. I can remember the day back in 2007. I grew to hate the sound of that phone ringing 8-12 hours a day. Until it stopped. The phone simply stopped ringing. One day past. Then two days went by. It never started ringing again. For those of you who lived…

Learning how to be comfortable in your own skin can be a long process. But it’s beyond worth it for your happiness. Here’s how to not give a fuck. We all care far too much about what other people think of us. Some care more than others. But to a degree, we all have other people’s opinions in the back of our minds when we do something. That’s why knowing how to be comfortable in your own skin isn’t very easy. We’re constantly comparing ourselves to others. That’s no way to live. At a certain point in your life, you…

After eight years together, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez may be planning to tie the knot. Recently, the model shared a photo of a prominent diamond ring, which she’s wearing on the fourth finger of her left hand. While she didn’t confirm that the piece was, in fact, an engagement ring, its cut, color, carat size, and placement certainly point to the possibility. Rodríguez posted the photo of the sparkler on her Instagram Stories on April 14, 2025, accompanied by the words, “And keep evil away from us, Amen,” which were written in Arabic. Some hypothesized that the…

In this week’s episode of The Baggage Reclaim Sessions, I share about a recent diagnosis following surgery at the start of this year, and how listening to my intuition back in August likely saved my life. I take you through my journey: from struggling to be taken seriously about perimenopause symptoms, to that pivotal morning when I woke up knowing I needed surgery, to navigating the darkness and anxiety of a cancer diagnosis. This experience has reinforced what I’ve always believed: that listening to and trusting yourself isn’t about getting it perfect every time, but about recognising those clear signals when…

Like the iconic 1992 surrealist black comedy on which it’s based, Death Becomes Her has been enjoying somewhat of a cult following on Broadway since premiering in November. When I arrived at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre to pick up my tickets one night in early April, I overheard someone telling the box office agent that it was his third time seeing the show. One of my best friends, meanwhile, has also seen the musical multiple times.The absurdist plot makes it easy to understand the appeal: Two frenemies — fading Hollywood actress Madeline Ashton (Megan Hilty) and her friend Helen Sharp (Jennifer…

Sedari kecil, aku dididik untuk selalu mencegah, bukan merasa. Salah satu contohnya, aku selalu diingatkan untuk tidak jatuh saat aku berjalan, berlari, belajar mengendarai sepeda, hingga mengendarai sepeda motor. Pola pikirku pun mengiyakan, sehingga aku sangat jarang sekali jatuh. Tidak hanya secara fisik, tetapi pada konteks lainnya pun demikian.Lain halnya dengan jatuh untuk mengikuti perasaan. Orang-orang memberikan banyak perspektifnya akan hal ini, karena sepertinya mereka lebih mahir dan lebih terbiasa menghadapi asam garam pada setiap perjalanan romansa. Berbeda dengan aku yang masih sulit untuk terbiasa merasa.Pada akhirnya, aku kembali dipertemukan dengan siapa yang membuatku merasa bagaimana absurdnya menyukai dan menyayangi…

What do you do for fun? It’s a harmless question, right? So why does it feel so hard to answer? And what do you actually like to do for fun? Let’s find out. Everyone’s so cool and fun and incredible… they’ve got shades on, lil’ cute doggies, dope fashion senses, loud laughs, CEO Co-Founder tags under their LinkedIn name. Obviously, people talk a good talk and front a good front. Looking like you have a fun life isn’t the same thing as actually having one. But what do you like to do for fun? Being asked that question, for some reason,…

If you’re seeking words to express the inexpressible, check out these romantic, humorous, and heartfelt love sayings! “Love conquers all.” Now, that’s a love saying we’ve all heard, seen, or maybe even graffiti-ed on the back of a notebook during a particularly dreamy class. But have you ever stopped and wondered why these words resonate so much? You’re not alone. You see, love sayings aren’t just some poetic mumbo jumbo we dish out on Valentine’s cards or use as Instagram captions. Nope, they’ve got roots—deep psychological roots. And let’s face it, when it comes to love sayings, whether they’re dripping…

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there are definitely some situations where that maxim may not apply — like, when your ex-husband purchases an adult toy crafted in your likeness. Khloé Kardashian has lived this bizarre experience. On the Season 6 finale of The Kardashians, Khloé shared her reaction to discovering that Lamar Odom has a sex doll that looks just like her.“I found out about Lamar’s blow-up doll I think the same way any of us found out — it was on the internet,” Khloé said. “Not sure why that’s something we are publicly talking…
