There are not many things more infuriating in a relationship than having every conversation abruptly cut off due to a phone call or ‘hilarious’ group chat message.

We continue to have an expanding awareness of sex, gender, and sexuality, aka sexual orientation. Since language has evolved and people have continued to be open about themselves, we have a better understanding of sexual orientation—and that knowledge will only continue to grow. But no matter what, inclusive language around sexuality matters, particularly for creating safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ folks.

It’s valentines day and the choices we’ve made either mean we’re with someone, we’re alone, or, now that we’re without masks and in Las Vegas, we’re people watching, either downtown, on the Strip, or for a few lost cases, in a strip club.

Expert tells the secret to rekindling the relationship

While December may have been loaded up with coupley activities (Winter Wonderland, carefully choosing each other’s gifts, drinking hot chocolate by a fireplace), January can see romance drooping faster than that tree still lingering in the corner.

Fights in relationships can feel like brushing out tangled hair. It can hurt like hell, trying to straighten out all the snags and pulls of two people attempting to share one life. And the longer you leave it, the worse it gets, until all you’re left with is a matted clump of emotional mess you keep trying to avoid.

It’s the same routine each time. The initial feeling of dread that something isn’t quite right down there. The familiar sensation of burning that resonates from the urethra after urinating (or even just sitting down during the worst days). The frequent trips back and forth to the toilet.

This Christmas Eve, enjoy catching up with these recent conversations about connecting.

As families gather to celebrate the holidays, many singles and unmarried couples might face questions from family members about their relationship status.
