When I was younger, I didn’t like endings – play time, be a movie, book, drama series (30+ episodes). I would cry at the end of TV shows because it was so good and I enjoyed it so much – why did it have to end? Later as I grew older and understood that everything […]

He was very tolerate of my childish ways and I couldn’t comprehend the depth and width of his heart and patience until I met his wife.

Why do I keep attracting ‘losers’, or the ‘wrong person’, you might ask (pattern)? Why are everybody such ‘time wasters’ (you group them)? Why am I so unlucky/ terrible/ horrible when it comes to dating (internalisation)? I am no self-declared love expert. I am first and foremost a sex expert, and also counsel people on […]
