jenshak I learned long ago that it is not really the amount of time you spend with your children that matters... it is the quality of the time you spend with them. You can spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week with your children however if you are not bonding...

How can you tell if your partner is lying to you?

cryw0lf @cryw0lf (1302) • United Kingdom 12 Jan 09

I dont think i can tell when my partner is lying to me. He has no 'tells' as it's said. Which means i find it very hard to tell if my partner is being faithful and honest. What about you though? Does your partner possibly...

jenshak I think that there is a bigger issue here. If you are concerned over whether or not your partner is being faithful and honest you should ask yourself why you are feeling that way. If you have a reason to question his faithfulness and honesty then address it...

How do you define true friendship?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 9 Jan 09

Lately, I feel as though I'm surrounded by people who would rather "use me" for something than be social. For example, they'll call me only when they need me for something. And, when I'd like to get together, they're always...

what is the one thing that you do not tolerate in arelationship?

enavnai13 @enavnai13 (509) • Philippines 9 Jan 09

i'm sure you do have do's and don'ts in relationship... but what is really the one thing that you do not tolerate in relationship???

break up

love

relationships

3 responses

jenshak I can not tolerate lying. As far as I am concerned that leads to everything else that ruins a relationship. Once you have broken trust it is incredibly difficult if not impossible to rebuild that trust to the point where you no longer doubt that person.

jenshak If you are truly falling in love with someone then you can not help but tell them how you feel. Unfortunately, all to often, we think we are falling in love with someone... it isn't until you have found true love that you realize you were never really in love...

DoriLentrich @DoriLentrich (1016) • United States 7 Dec 08

jenshak I am not going to say that you are right or wrong. What I will say is this. Having a baby doesn't always make an instant "Everything is all about my baby" mentality. If she is young, chances are good that what she feels right now is that for 9 months it has...

Last night we went to the town Christmas tree lighting. While I was there, I started talking to a man (who I don't think I know) and he gave me a great big hug. Now, I am a person who values my personal space - sometimes I don't...

jenshak To hug or not to hug, that is the question. For me it depends on the person. For example, in the situation you were in last night I would've backed away and extended my hand. Sometimes people just don't realize that their welcoming hug can make another person...
