Part 1: Difficulties with Intimacy Part 2: Difficulties with Intimacy for the Betrayed Part 3: Difficulties with Intimacy for the Unfaithful
In recent years, one of the most popular topics in sexology has been female sexual desire disorders. For the past four decades, women have been pathologized for not being like men.
For instance, according to University of British Columbia psychiatrist Rosemary Basson, "sexual difficulties are particularly prevalent among women seeking routine gynecological care. In population surveys, some 30%–35% of women aged 18–70 have reported a lack of sexual desire during the previous 1–12 months." The percentage of...
Years ago, I ran multiple marathons. Reflecting back, I realize that marathon running wasn't just an individual sport; it was a group effort where other competitors shared my experience. The people I trained with encouraged and pushed me, helping me achieve goals I never thought possible. During the races, other competitors motivated me and propelled me toward the finish line.

Long ago when I was first starting out in business, I had a friend who abused and misused me. The circumstance was simple. After committing to partner with me on a business plan, he told me he had found a more promising partner, took my idea and ran away. In the blink of an eye, I was on the outside, crushed by the fickle state of relationships. What I felt then were the same emotions many experience when first discovering infidelity. (Although, I recognize the intensity of the pain pales in comparison to what Stephanie experienced with my own betrayal over three decades years ago).
When my business partner left me, at first I felt devastated and alone. I...
Did you marry the wrong person? A whopping 30% of divorced women believe they did, at least according to Jennifer Gauvain.1 How can so many people be getting it wrong? Was the other party so deceptive that they were fooled into marrying the wrong person? Or perhaps they failed to listen to their own intuition and chose to marry anyway, only to discover later that they made a grievous, life-alterning mistake? Perhaps it isn't about who you married but rather your expectations of the marriage.
Years ago, a friend told me, "To keep from getting in trouble with your landlord, use straight pins to hang your pictures. That way, when it's time to move, the holes will not be nearly as noticeable." But when my newly hung pictures began crashing to the floor, I learned a valuable lesson: Don't hang your pictures on something unless you're sure it can bear the...
