You might have your phone near you all the time, notice you’ve got a message, and still continue with your priorities. You should text him back whenever you feel it is appropriate, and healthy for your text conversation, and whenever you feel comfortable doing so. Avoid playing waiting games as they can gradually break the conversation apart to an end. Here’s what you should consider when waiting to text him back:...

There are no right or wrong choices in this situation, and definitely, no easy choices....

When it comes to weddings, there are two options in front of you – travel the tried and tested route that couples have taken for millennia following the same traditions and rituals or create a whole new ceremony, scripting a bespoke template to cement your bond and begin a new chapter in your lives together. If the latter is what appeals to you, then that’s when you opt for a non-religious wedding....

One of the obvious ways to make him want you is by not ‘making’ him. You don’t want to force him into something, right? Some of us have learned the lesson the hard way, and we know that adapting and adjusting to his preferences will only last so long until it wears out. We need some realistic ways to make a man want you. The ‘realistic’ softens a bit of that ‘make’....

Maintaining the same bond or passion is impossible, let’s be practical. But what leads a marriage or a long-term relationship downhill is the hurtful words often used by one of the partners. “My husband says mean things over the slightest of things” “My wife deals low blows in every argument” or even, “we say extremely hurtful things when we fight” These are not pleasant realizations to live with, yet they’re not uncommon....

I was shocked and didn’t know how to react. His disposition had completely changed and he came and stood next to me. I stiffened but I felt an excitement too. That line he said kept replaying in my head....

What Are The Signs Of An Emotionally Unavailable Man? Before we begin dissecting the behavior of men, let’s first understand what can cause a man to be emotionally unavailable. According to Riddhi “One of the reasons why a man is emotionally distant could be that he has never been allowed to face his emotions from a young age. Another reason could be that he grew up in an environment where he was neglected, which compelled him to shut down his emotions and become emotionally unavailable in future relationships because being emotionally available has brought him pain in the past....

I know. I know that it can be difficult to read signs through such a form of communication like texting. It is sometimes tiring trying to read through the lines, and understand how they might feel, or try to come up with something that feels more comforting than what you’re seeing/reading. When it comes to men, they’re pretty direct and forward. BUT, they know how to be complicated a**holes too....

He’s saying he’s always busy, has things to do, and is ignoring your calls. You know that this is just not him. The behavior you see him display is not part of his character. Infidelity is something you do not wish for even for your worst enemy. It drains you emotionally and creates self-doubt. And now you’re concluding that he is sleeping with someone else. You just have this gut feeling that he is....

As you begin to notice the signs of a jealous girlfriend, you may be left wondering what is triggering this behaviour. Well, there can be varied reasons for it. Women have an inherent instinct to protect and nurture. It is this quality that allows a woman to care for her child and family, and build a home that is a safe haven for everyone who lives there. However, some women channelize this instinct into their relationships as well....

Are there clear differences between the two? Do both feature fights about wet towels on the bed? Or is one of them the clear winner, a utopia where everything is rainbows and butterflies? While we’re pretty sure that the wet towels on the bed are going to annoy any couple at least once in their lives, the general differences between them might seem elusive at first glance. Since you’re essentially living with your partner in both cases, you might even think that the differences between marriage vs living together aren’t too pronounced....

My husband and I had completed about 25 years of marriage, and we now stood at a station in life where we had everything that we needed and that money could buy. His birthday was in a couple of days and I was worried, as I couldn’t decide what to get him for his special day. Clothes, shoes, cufflinks, gadgets seemed so passé; I needed to give him something special....

Prenuptial agreements are far from that though. Even though they seem to steal the inherent emotionality there is to marriage, they are more of a safety net. And safety nets can be a good thing. While marriage is a beautiful and delightful experience, it is a legally binding contract in itself too. Simply because it roots itself in love and affection does not mean that those things are enough to keep it up and running....

Radha-Krishna Love Story The funny thing is that Radha, who we take so much for granted, didn’t always exist. Her character is a late entrant in Indian mythology as compared to her eternal paramour, Krishna. Not many know that Radha is nowhere to be found in the Mahabharata, where we meet Krishna fairly extensively. In the Bhagavata Purana too, which was composed a few centuries after the epic, we only find the mention of a ‘special gopi’....

Moving in together is a big decision. After all, you used to hate it when your sibling played loud music while you were busy cramming for an exam.

Living with someone makes you a more patient person. But is your partner going to be that ‘someone’?...
