A basic building block to long-lasting relationships is one of the hardest to keep in mind.

As we get older, time seems to pass so much quicker than when we were kids sitting out summer vacations while telling our parents we were bored.

“Here I am -- older and having to get back into dating again. You don’t know how bad it is out there.”

There’s no way around the fact that ending a long-term relationship, or even many short-term ones, is a task that’s filled with emotion and stress.

No one defines a real friend as someone who stands by you only if you’re able to buy them expensive gifts.
