Many of us suffer from pain and losses in love. Thats the time we will ask, is there any right man for me? Could I still have my one true love? What if no more?
What if the love your looking for is in the wrong man? What will you do? What will be the consequences? Is this the right thing to do? Or I’m just afraid to face the fact that I’m getting old and nobody loves me?
But there are rules that you must give concerns in having this kind of relationships.
Never confuse his love for you with his love for his wife.
Yes, he loves you, he can love you and love his wife at the same time. But can a man truly love two different people at the sam time? Perhaps, you will never erase the fact that his wife and children are his first priority. Don’t expect too much when when he says “I love you more than I love my wife,” yes it can maybe true but look at the other way. He can tell you things that he experiences from his wife, his bad and good situation of his relationship to his wife. If you wan to continue your relationship with him, never bring up the subject that will make him uncomfortable and too sensitive for him.
Do not play emotional blackmail.
Never ever demand anything that will take concerns of his family. Asking him, “leave your family for me, or I will leave?” Yah you will be happy, but have you ever think of the consequences? Leaving his wife and children won’t help you get him freely. He will not be sure happy for it and he may be make an unexpected actions that will make you both un happy and worsen the situation. They are still bound in one, in Gods eyes and in peoples eyes. Just understand him if you want to keep him.
Accept that waiting and lying is part of the game.
You are just his second priority, always remember that, so expect that he will not come to you as early as you expected, or he may not come. You hate waiting but you cannot do anything about it, remember the rule no 1 and 2. He may lie to you in anything, expect it.
You must know that your still alone.
When your down, you know that he cannot comfort you. He cannot be with you everytime you need him, you must understand that you are just having some ample of his time. You will feel hurt because of the fact that you cant escape. When you started a relationship with him you already know that you are just a mistress.
It has to be more than sex.
Yes, for you it has to be more than sex. It has to do with binding of minds and spirit, when your with him, you feel secure and satisfied. But have you ever ask him if he feels the same. He will surely be satisfied because it’s the way it is. But ask yourself, are you inlove enough to erase and accept the fact that your not different to girls from the club that give one hour happiness. Yah, your different from them , because your not working there and your not having sex with different man, just look at the way he behaves and you will find out.
The best way is to quit.
It’s hard, of course, because you know in yourself that you need him and love him. But do you want to live all your life like that? What if you get pregnant, think of your childs future. You already heard of situations like that I’m sure. Make your pain as your stepping stone to move on and have another life that doesn’t have to hide and feel all the insecurities. That is the end of everything for you, you never know, there is still one man that is really meant for you. Cheer up.
Clues that he’s married:
He will just give you his mobile number, office number, but not his home number.
He will pay on cash whenever you two go out, to avoid suspision when he use his cards.
He will not tell you where he lives and never bring you to his home.
He will check everything on his clothes if there is lipstick, or perfume and always take shower after sex, that will leave some evidences.
He will schedule your dates in advance, away from his wive’s suspicion.
He will talk on the phone in business-like manner.
He will not be available in major holidays and week ends.
He will never show his affection in public.
He will take you out in places that nobody knows him.
He will always look around and behind, trying to be aware of the people around him.

What must be your next step after your graduation? Are you planning to stay and find a job just around your hometown? Or you want to fly and seek job overseas.
Well, if you have decided to extend your wings in a new environment, make sure that you do a research whether your education will be valued in other country.
If you studied in a distant learning program which is not affiliated with a large, mainstream institution there is a lesser chance that your profession will be given recognition in another place. But if you studied in a reputable college or university in North America, you are fortunate enough to be recognized and given job opportunities.
There’s also a disadvantage if you have completed an education where the set of rules vary from country to country, such as law, you have to take equivalency tests or re-certification before you qualify for a job.
Experts’ advice that before sending out your résumés, you must seek a professional association in your community to assist you in assuring that your profession will be respected in other countries and what will be the necessary documents that you should have in hand before applying.
The local professional groups will help you and give you connection with new people that might be of great help with your overseas job search.
It is also advised that you start doing it while you are still studying. You can ask your international office and career office for some details about work-abroad programs that are available for you. Having a program that is related with your education is a big help for your career training.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a job that is not in any way related in your field but you are sure that you are flexible enough to do it well. Then it is a must that you have a legal job waiting for you in the host country before heading abroad.
One of the more exiting jobs is to work in a Zoo in Australia.

Issues on making the “I do” undo.
Nearly half of all U.S. Marriages end in divorce; Is California to blame? In 1969, then Governor Ronald Reagan signed the “no-fault” divorce law, making it easier for couples to end a marriage – requiring no proof of adultery, abuse or other spousal wrong doing – and spurring a trend. Within five years, 30 other states jumped on the bandwagon; now all 50 have passed similar laws.
When the children are involve and both parents have agreed to the divorce, the couple has to participate in a “pre-divorce educational program” and comply with court-monitored support payments and parental-custody arrangements, which, says proponents, will best address the needs of the children rather than those of the parents.
“No fault divorce laws supposedly did away with acrimony in dissolving marriages,” says Jenny, “but it is the children who suffer the most painful consequences.” Her goal, she said, is to protect non consenting spouses and children caught in the middle, not to eliminate divorce or preserve traumatic or abusive marriages. “There are however, many marginal relationships that may be saved,” she adds.
But opponents – namely, divorce lawyers and women’s rights and domestic violence groups – says a return to the old laws will mean more vicious courtroom tactics and invasions of privacy, as well as an increase in spousal abuse and deserted children.
Making divorce difficult will not make bad marriages good. More attentions needs to be placed on developing educational programs to create better marriages in the first place.

Talk-and-touch theraphy gains – for years, some psychotherapists have regarded the idea of integrating talk theraphy with touch theraphy as suspect-and radical. Now, however, the United States Association for Body Psychotheraphy has formed to lend.
Did you call Mom today? – we spend an average of two hours a day feeling guilty about the little things in life. Luckily, mini guilt trips can make us more emphathetic.
How career goals affect woman’s well-being – a recent study at the University of Wisconsin in Madison found that middle-aged women who had failed to meet career goals were more depressed than those who hadn’t. Yet those who had accomplished above and beyond what they had set out to do were less likely to describe themselves as successful than women who had merely attained their goals, possibly because the overachievers continued to set higher goals for themselves.
Can we all live to be 100? – maybe so, say Duke University researchers who have found that the number of American centenarians has increased from about 3,500 in 1960 to more than 50,000 in 1995. By the year 2046, there could be as many as 1.5 million. Why? People are leading healthier lives – and receiving better medical care.
Too much sex – having frequent intercourse and using diaphragms with spermicide may boost your risk of developing urinary tract infection, found a recent study of sexually active young women reported in The New England Journal of Medicine. Sex five times per week tripled risk, but when women also used diaphragms with spermicide, risk increased four-to sixfold. Spermicide alone also increased risk in some women.
The best judge of character is a woman – so say researchers at Northeastern University in Boston. Gender aside, people who are considerate, warm and outgoing and value their relationships are also adept at sizing up others.
Night shifts can lead to unhealthy nibbling – security guards, nurses and nurses aides working the night shift gained, on average, eight pounds over a period of eight years, while their day-working peers lost about a pound, notes a study from The Obesity Researchers Center at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. Night shifters have less access to cafeterias and restaurants, so may turn to vending machines. Also, they may be less physically active on the job.

What women should know about male fertility.
When it comes to male fertility problems, don’t reach for hormone treatments just yet. Doctors are finding they have the most success treating young couples with antibiotics – largely because sexually transmitted diseases and other infections often impede sperm count, shape and speed. Man ,in fact, account for 40 percent of fertility problems. And young men aren’t exempt: According to some fertility experts, the average male patient is a strapping thirty-something. Here’s why:
Reproductive tract infections, including sexually transmitted diseases and prostatitis, an infection or inflammation of the prostate gland, can interfere with semen production and sperm function. Once the man is diagnosed and treated with antibiotics, however, his fertility may be restored.
An illness may prompt a temporary drop in sperm count for three to six months. Excess white blood cells, which fight off infection, can disturb sperm function. Usually, antibiotics eliminate the problem.
Daily use of marijuana can lower total sperm count because the drug may slow sperm production.
Smoking may affect the shape and function of a man’s sperm, hampering fertilization.
Certain steroids may shut down a man’s ability to produce sperm.
About one third of men with fertility problems have a varicocele – varicose veins wrapped around a testicle. The testicles become overheated and can no longer produce sperm.
Damaged sperm ducts block the passage of sperm from the testicles.
Scrotal injuries may also block the passage of sperm from the testicles.
Not sure whether it’s your partner’s smoking habit or his recent bout with the flu that’s putting a damper on procreation? Send him to a doctor for a semen analysis. The longer you wait, the more likely his problem will worsen. Fortunately, it appears that in amny cases, once you’re aware of the problem, it can easily be resolved.

Have you ever experienced using IM (Instant Messenger)? It’s the most popular way of communicating this day. In fact in IM, you can meet a lot of people from all around the world. You can also use the web cam and talk with people live. It’s so great right, what a new life with all of this high tech things. It only proves that our technology is already arising, everything is easy now.
But aside from good things it also generate bad things. All of the things has advantages and dis advantages, it’s not always good. One of the dis-advantages is the use of web cam in some bad things, like cyber sex…people all over the world are in this IM mania, specially guys, and girls who are doing strip show in front of the camera just to earn money. I don’t know if there are still some Internet shop who are operating this kind of show.
Have you ever experienced talking to a guy and then suddenly he will just ask if he can see you stand or lower your cam…that’s really irritating. And sometimes, the guy will just say, ‘if you really love me, you will show me everything’..really ridiculous!
However, not just the guys are doing that, girls also, they will say,’want some show, just a few bucks’..is that a normal girl? I guess I can never understand there situation. We didn’t know what kind of life they have. I don’t really judge them.
