To answer these questions, we have collected some insights and experiences from real people – and it’s important that you pay attention before it’s too late.

9 Tips on How to Forgive Someone Who Broke Your Heart

Last Updated on: March 23, 2021 by Cyril Abello

Being hurt by the person you trusted the most is probably one of the worst feelings. The betrayal makes it hard to trust anybody again.

However, the worst part of being hurt by someone you loved so much is carrying the weight of hatred around. An unforgiving heart has no peace, and moving on becomes more difficult. If you don’t release forgiveness to the person who hurt you, then you would be in bondage to anger and pain for as long as you don’t let go.

Choose to forgive
You can’t live a happy and peaceful life without forgiveness. The painful memories of what the person did to you would haunt you forever, and it won’t make you feel good. That is why you should intentionally choose to forgive.

It may seem impossible to forgive the person who has made you miserable, especially if the wound is still fresh, but with willingness, you can surely do it.

Here are tips that can help you forgive the person who broke your heart. Try them with persistence and prayers and they will surely work.

10 Inspiring Tips for First-time Moms

Last Updated on: February 11, 2021 by Lyza Sabornido

Motherhood is not just a new chapter in a woman’s life but a whole new beginning of something more important. From the moment we conceive, it is no longer just about us. We now have a little one to take care of. Sure we can read a book on how to care for a new-born but every case is different. Being a first-time mom can be joyful yet can also be frustrating. It’s exciting yet also intimidating. There is just so much to learn and so much to do.

Before my son was born, I did some research to prepare myself for my new role. It helped, although I must say there was still so much that I didn’t actually know by the time he came out. So I would like to share some of what I’ve learned as a hands-on first-time mom.

10 Signs You’re the Toxic One in Your Relationship and What to Do about it

Last Updated on: March 18, 2021 by Charm Villalon

Keeping a relationship isn’t simple and making it work can be really challenging especially if couples fail to see that something is slowly and effectively tearing them apart. What is more frustrating is when the very act of trying to make it better is actually the one thing that is making it worse.

This type of setting is a common scenario in toxic relationships. In definition, this kind of connection between two people, no matter how they love each other, can often lead to emotionally and psychologically traumatic outcomes. Most of the time, neither of them is aware of how their “love” is slowly destroying them until it’s too late.

We can all agree that the best way to solve a problem is to find what caused it in the first place. In problems concerning a relationship between two people in love, it’s not the question of “what” but it’s actually a matter of “who”.

Well, everything that has been said leads us to one equally important question that must be addressed: how would you know if you’re actually the one ruining it all? Are there signs that you’re the toxic one in your relationship? And if you find out you’re indeed the one, what can you do about it?

Luckily, we have the answers to your questions and hopefully, it’s not yet too late.

10 Signs Your Relationship is Worth Fighting For

Should you keep fighting even if you keep on getting hurt? Should you finally give up the fight and start over? This article can hopefully give you the answers that you need in order to reflect on that big and final decision without regrets.

Everything that has been said leads us to the most significant question of all: what are the signs that your relationship is worth fighting for?

20 Things Guys Do that Make Girls Jealous

Last Updated on: February 27, 2021 by Marydel Mitch Flores

How would you feel to have a girl green-eyed with envy and madly competing for you? Jealousy might be a form of insecurity yet, and it is also a sign of overflowing love towards the one you adore. Some might as well say it shows distrust and doubt in your relationship. However, girls wouldn’t be paranoid if a guy knows how to avoid things that would make his girl jealous.

Arab proverb once said, “Love sees sharply; hatred sees even sharper. But jealousy sees the sharpest — for it is love and hate at the same time.”

If she becomes jealous of you, the desire to have that you’re protective about gradually escalates how much you value that person. Most girls can feel extreme jealousy for several unnoticed reasons. She might try to hide her emotions, but deep down, the seed of jealousy takes root.

Thus, if you truly love your girl, these are the things you should be aware of to avoid her from getting jealous.

10 Struggles Only Single Moms Understand

Last Updated on: February 11, 2021 by Lyza Sabornido

Being a parent is one of the most difficult parts of our lives. It comes with a great responsibility of raising a child. It is a task that is typically shared by two people: a husband and wife. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to find a person who would stick with her to share the load.

But in reality, due to their big sacrifices and efforts to raise their child or children alone, we cannot deny that these single moms can also be called super moms and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

To enlighten people and help them understand what we have been through, here are 10 struggles of being a single mom that everyone should understand.

Most of the time, couples face challenges that can either make or break their relationship. Some of these circumstances make trying to be together emotionally taxing as well as impractical – and both can lead to devastating breakups.

Perhaps one of the biggest trials that any couple can bump into is to be physically apart, living in different cities and sometimes, in different countries. There are several reasons why they are faced with this reality, for instance, work or family, and others like pursuing studies in another city or abroad.

Now if you are one of these poor souls, you came to the right place. Here, we will try to find out if you and your significant other are ready for a long-distance relationship.

Either way, you feel a negative surge of emotions such as anxiety and the most often than not, trust issues, may dominate the scene.
