Do Tell: When You First Fell in Love, Did Your Other Relationships Suffer?
We all know that love can be blinding, but new love can be overwhelming to the point of all consuming. And sometimes, when reveling in a new relationship, old priorities can suffer the consequences. For some it's their job, families, or friends, and for others it's a combination of all three.
Relationship Protocol: How Did You First Exchange "I Love You"?
There are so many amazing things that come with the beginning of a new relationship that I’d be hard pressed to pick just one as my favorite — though who can deny just how great that butterflies feeling is? One particular moment I think is the most special for a couple is the exchange of "I love you." Whether it’s sappy, funny, or completely random, this step always lingers and represents a deepening connection in a relationship.
Do Tell: How Has Your Relationship With Your Dad Affected Your Love Life?
Whether you have an amazing relationship with your father or a lousy/nonexistent one, Father's Day is a time to reflect on how this important figure in your life shaped your relationship to other men. (It can even impact desire/identification for gay women.)
Psychologists have argued that if you had a loving and healthy relationship with your father, you will most likely seek out men with his qualities. For women with unbalanced or dysfunctional relationships — either an overdoting, overprotective father or an absent one — they can become, in the former case, "princesses" who expect men who bend over backward for them, or, in the latter case, women with "daddy issues," who look for the same unavailable or unsatisfactory men who remind them of their disappointing fathers.
Have You Ever Had a Love/Hate Relationship?
If you've ever had a love/hate relationship with someone, you know how frustrating and confusing it can feel, but according to new research, there's a reason why these kinds of relationships are so common. In a recent study, participants were shown images of individuals they hated and the brain activity pattern it revealed partially occurs in areas of the brain activated by romantic love as well. Written in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS One, researchers said, "This linkage may account for why love and hate are so closely linked to each other in life.
Bad Relationship, Great Sex?
Is it possible to have great sex with someone you hate? That was the hot and heavy debate on last night's Parks and Recreation, when mustachioed Ron reunites with his ex-wife Tammy. The toxic couple can't talk without fighting — and the fighting inevitably leads to sex.
Relationship Protocol: Love Notes
While staying with a girlfriend and her husband the other weekend, I kept finding Post-It notes with sweet messages all over their house. Since he travels quite a bit for work, he constantly leaves her surprises in her medicine cabinet, in her underwear drawer, stuck to the remote, or even on the coffee maker so that she knows how much he loves her even when he's not physically there. I can't stop thinking about how his little gestures make such a big impact — I mean wouldn't seeing little I love yous bring a smile to your face?
Grey's Anatomy Rundown, "Invest in Love"
This week I felt like Grey's Anatomy is finally getting back on track. The episode has a very sad central focus, as Arizona faces the inevitable loss of a young patient, but was nicely rounded out with the usual relationship issues, comic relief, and a few sweet moments.

Relationship Protocol: I Love You More Than Blank
My friend just sent me this adorable website that I wanted to share with all of you. It's called I Love You More Than Blank, and the idea is to fill in the blank to find out the real things people are willing to put behind true love — you know, like Uggs on a cold day, chocolate chip cookies, and hitting the snooze button!
Since the international day of love is fast approaching, I thought asking you to fill in the blank would be a good precursor to Valentine's Day.

Behind the Iron Curtain: Was Sex Better Before the Wall's Fall?
Life may be better since the fall of the Berlin Wall, but is sex? It was at first. Prostitutes came in vans, porn was everywhere, and sex shops opened like wine bars in a gentrifying neighborhood.
