Stay Weird

First thing you should know about me is that I'm a hopeless romantic. I swoon over couples holding hands in public, romantic comedies are my favourite movies and Nicholas Sparks books line the bookshelf in my apartment. So this next thing I'm about to say might come as a bit of a shock: I feel that the word "love" is used too much and often incorrectly in relationships today. Now hear me out for a second, saying "I love you" is important but it is more important to actually mean what you say. Love is also just as important as some of the values listed below. Am I cold-hearted? No. Maybe a little bitter?

Sometimes, we lose sight of what is really important because we think loving someone is the sole reason to be in a relationship, but it's not. Here are the val...

If you are married or are living with your partner, leave sticky notes on your partner's pillow, the bedroom desk, the fridge, the bathroom mirror, and any other place you can think of. Let your partner see your apology in every nook and corner of the house. Send your partner text messages, emails, and voicemails all day so he/she knows how sorry you really are. If you think that you need to make your apology extra special, say 'sorry' with a gift. Put an 'I am sorry' wallpaper on your partner's computer, cell phone, laptop, and any other device he or she uses daily. Something for the guys to cheer about—tender your hot apology in bed. Send him or her flowers or chocolates. Cliché, but it's a trick that has never gone out of vogue, and it still works. Ask all your friends to call you're significant other and tell him or her how sorry you feel. Take you...

Your relationship is unique, and therefore all of these messages should only be treated as starting points. Here are some ideas for how to tailor these messages to fit the occasion: Be personal and specific when communicating how much he or she means to you.  This article will give you ideas for how to do so, but your relationship is one-of-a-kind—find ways to communicate that. Compliment your significant other on something he or she takes pride in or say thank you for something he or she has done recently. Be specific about what he or she does that makes your relationship so happy that you can’t imagine living without it. Do not place blame.  When apologizing, you should set aside questions of fault and recognize that your significant other is feeling hurt. Focus on how to address those feelings. Use statements that start with 'I'.  Arguments usually start because someone made an assumption. So don't make any statements that assume the other person's intention,...

Working for yourself might seem like the ultimate dream. You make your own hours, wear sweatpants if you want to, and don’t live life dreading pointless meetings. Your business, your rules.
