One thing that continually bothers me is seeing a girl essentially lower herself for a guy who essentially does not care about her, or does not put in the same amount of effort that she does.

It’s Takes Two To Tango
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the specific role that one plays in the relationship. What are the roles that I speak of? Well, you know.

Whose Right and Whose Wrong?
Have you ever heard someone said that in a relationship, the woman always wins because she is always right — no matter what?
