Man Sells His Life on Ebay after Divorce

Posted on by

The ending of marriage is difficult no doubt. The break-up is even harder if it was provoked by your mate and undesired by you. People deal with break-ups and divorces in all different ways. Some people get angry while others are upset and depressed. I have heard of people moving to different parts of the country and changing jobs and even hairstyles after a break-up. However, until now, I have never heard of anyone who actually sold his or her life. After his divorce a year ago, 44 year old Ian Usher from Australia decided that everything about him and … Continue reading →

When Your Mate Doesn’t Match Your Dreams Continued

One of my last articles proposed a question to my readers. It also gave a scenario. The scenario described a situation where the person that you fall in love with does not match the ideal life that you had imagined. In some cases we cannot control whom we fall in love with.

What happens when you decide to live together, then you get engaged, but you realize this person may not be the one for you after all? Do you break up? Or do you take a break? In Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag’s case things are further complicated by the fact their relationship has unfolded under the public eye on the show the Hills. Or has it? As my fellow blogger Libby Pelham reported, even a costar on the show questioned whether the relationship was real or was for ratings. My husband thinks it’s all fake.

Text and Email Break-ups

We live in a very high tech world. Technology is the now thing. It is everywhere. We now text more than we talk. We email more than we use the postal service. So is it appropriate for couples in relationships to take advantage of these new ways of communication? In many ways yes. I love receiving a sweet text from my husband. Texting and emailing are great ways to remind each other of tasks or just to say hello. However, these types of communication may not be best when it comes to more important issues. For example, breaking off a … Continue reading →
