"What isn’t healthy?

Ultimately, an unhealthy relationship is based on power and control, not love and respect. If you feel like your partner is using tactics to control you, then that is a big red flag and you should talk to someone that can help.
Your partner doesn’t have to physically harm you for your relationship to be abusive. If your relationship is great most of the time, but unhealthy sometimes, that’s not good enough.
Everyone deserves to be in a healthy relationship and there is never an excuse for abuse. Even if there is a history of mental illness, cheating or other hardships either in or outside of your current relationship, those are not excuses for abusive behavior.
It’s also crucial to know that you can’t change your partner. If you are in an abusive relationship, you should seek help — don’t wait for your partner to change."

Get Love Tips Sent Straight To Your Mailbox.

There are different types of kisses. Each type has its own meaning. Regardless, kissing is one of the most intimate fun things that you can do with your special love. Kissing, however, isn’t the same for everyone. In fact, each country has its own customs about kissing.

When you kiss someone in a public place, make sure that you’re in an area where it’s legal. Yes, there are some places in the U.S. that consider kissing as illegal.

It’s said that kissing for at least one minute can help you burn 26 calories. And yes, it can also increase your life expectancy.

In other words, there are benefits of kissing.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF KISSES

1. KISS ON THE FOREHEAD

It’s a kind of kiss that conveys love and trust. This type doesn’t anticipate a sort of reply. It also doesn’t need a reply. For some, it’s a promise of love, care, and protection. It’s also a signature love indicating the kisser’s honor to his/her commitments.

The one who received the kiss will think that he/she is being cared for or loved. Generally, a kiss on the forehead implies a deeper sense of love. The forehead is a unique place to be kissed and it implies trust. Moreover, if that person kissed you on the forehead before leaving, it’s an assurance that he/she will be there for you no matter what.

2. ESKIMO KISS

It’s a popular kiss used by parents to show their love and affection to their kids. Eskimo kiss is carried out nose-to-nose. Then, a slight side-to-side rubbing motion is performed.

For couples, it’s used as the perfect kiss that can lead to a meaningful lip kiss.

Although, some would think that the guy who initiated the Eskimo kiss isn’t interested in the girl, it’s exactly the opposite. This type of kiss originated in Northern Canada where Inuit lived. The place was cold so the people there covered up everything excluding their eyes and noses. Each time they met someone they cared for, they would rub noses, instead of kissing.

So, good news for you, it only shows that such person is showing high interest in you. It’s a lovely way to express your love for your partner.

3. FRENCH KISS

This is a type of kiss that you should never do in front of your parents. Also known as a deep kiss, the French kiss is considered as an amorous kiss. Some would love to call it tonsil hockey while others would describe it as a swapping spit.

Kissing the tongue of your partner will stimulate his/her tongue, lips, and mouth that are extremely sensitive to the touch. This practice is considered as a source of pleasure.

In France, this kiss is referred to as a lover’s kiss or “un ba**er amooureux”. But this type of kiss may carry a risk of HPV, especially if the lips or gums are bleeding. However, transmission of Hepatitis B through this kiss is an unlikely mode of infection.

4. CHEEK KISS

This is a kiss that conveys affection. When a guy kisses you on your cheek, it means that he likes and respects you. Instead of diving into your mouth, he lays a gentle kiss on your cheek.

Cheek kiss is usually a kiss used by friends and parents to their kids.

For couples, the person kissing your cheek may have a romantic feeling for you. The moment he kisses you, it’s not yet a romance. But he’s telling you that he likes you and he’s growing a true fondness of you. However, it could also mean a friendly greeting.

5. BUTTERFLY KISS

Although there are no lips involved, this type of kiss is sweet and tender. It shows passion, affection, and love. To give your partner a butterfly kiss, you just need to move your face close to the face of your partner. It must be as close as possible in a way that you and your partner’s eyes are almost touching. Then, flutter your eyelids so your partner will feel like he/she’s being kissed by a butterfly.

When you partner is giving you a butterfly kiss, you should close your eyes and enjoy that moment. However, when you do this, you should be extra careful not to hurt your or your partner’s eyes.

If you’re a woman and you’re planning to butterfly kiss your partner, make sure that you’re not wearing a mascara as it could easily get into your partner’s eyes. The outcome won’t feel good.

6. KISS ON THE HAND

Perhaps, you’ve seen it while watching Downton Abbey. But this type of kiss is a gesture that indicates politeness, respect, courtesy, and admiration. The person who’ll kiss your hand will bow toward the hand that you offered.

This kiss has become extremely rare. It’s usually restricted to the conservative diplomats and upper class. In the Philippines and Indonesia, hand kissing is a kind of greeting to an elder individual of both genders. However, it’s done to the closest relatives, like grandparents, uncles or aunts. After kissing the hand, the “greeter” will immediately draw the hand to his/her own forehead.

When he kisses you on your hand, it means that he respects you as a lady.

7. EARLOBE KISS

It’s actually a break from French kissing. In here, your partner will take your earlobe between his/her lips before tugging them downward. It’s usually given to someone you’re romantically involved with. You can’t do it to someone you just met.

An earlobe kiss is a fun kiss with lots of meaning. When you do it, it usually leads to hotter and passionate kiss. You can safely do this in a public place because it’s not too offensive, unlike French kiss.

8. SPIDERMAN KISS

You’ve seen Spiderman, haven’t you? The part where Mary Jane kissed Spiderman while he was in an upside down position? When you’re doing the Spiderman kiss, one of you will be in an upside down position. If it’s your partner, then your top lip will be kissing his bottom lip and vice versa.

It works best when one of you is reclining on a couch. To see how this kiss was originally done, you should see the Spiderman movie of Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire.

9. LIP GLOSS KISS

It’s a flirty kiss that a girl can give to her boyfriend. Before you start lip gloss kissing your bf, make sure that you have a healthy amount of lip gloss. Then, rub your lips on his lips. You should only stop when his lips are covered or coated with lip gloss too.

Lip gloss kiss is a fun type of kiss and it’s harmless. To add more fun to the kiss, make sure that you’re using a lip gloss with a fruity flavor. He’s going to love it.

10. TONGUE KISS

This is almost similar to French kiss. The only difference is that you slip your tongue inside your partner’s mouth.

For some, it’s considered as more intimate than s*x. Their eyes are closed while feeling the tongue of their partners. There’s magic in it and almost all men love it. However, try not to do it in public. Your audience will abhor the sight of it.

11. AIR KISS
It’s a social gesture. Some would describe it as pretense of kissing. In here, your lips are pursed as if you’re really kissing your partner but without actually touching your partner’s lips.

Sometimes, it includes check-to-cheek. It’s also accompanied with a mwah sound. This is frequently seen in Western cultures.

When someone air kisses you, it would mean that he/she has mostly likely a crush on you.

12. SINGLE-LIP KISS

It’s a type of kiss that involves sucking the lip of your partner in a gentle manner. To offer this kiss, you have to gently grab either his/her upper or lower lip. Make sure that it’s sandwiched between yours.

When you execute it perfectly, you’re sending a cute romantic sign to your partner that you like him/her. It allows you to get close enough to your partner and assess his/her essential characteristics. This kiss may also be a subtle way for some to evaluate immune compatibility of a mate.

Thus, if you’re looking for a long-time partner, you may choose to use this kiss and find out whether or not you’re compatible to each other before you even invest your time and energy in him/her.

After a single-lip kiss, you’ll feel good about everything. That is if you’ve executed it properly. Through this kiss, you’re unleashing those feel-good chemicals that may increase social bonding.

13. HICKEY

This isn’t an actual kiss. Rather, you’re leaving a red mark on your partner’s skin after sucking it hard enough. You need to be careful when executing it as it may deeply hurt your partner. Some people love the feeling of being sucked by their partners; while others abhor it.

The hickey kiss doesn’t necessarily require that you keep your breath minty because your lips won’t touch his/her lips. Then again, your partner may also want you to kiss him/her on the lips, which may turn him/her off if you have bad breath.

So, before you even give your partner the hickey kiss, sneak away to get a quick brush or chew a pack of gum first. Your partner would definitely appreciate it. What could have been a good hickey could be a complete turn-off for your partner if you have a smelly breath.

14. VAMPIRE

Before you even give your partner this kiss, you should ask permission. It’s also essential that you show your partner that you can control yourself before you make a vampire kiss. So start by breathing a little on his/her mouth. Then, start smelling his/her hair and skin.

If he/she gives you permission to offer him/her a vampire kiss, you should’t move too fast. Less is more ideal here, especially if it’s your first time to offer your partner with this type of kiss. You may choose to kiss his/her lips gently first before moving on to his/her neck.

When you’re giving him/her a vampire kiss, try listening to her breathing. Make sure that you’re aware of what he/she is doing.

Does he/she like it? Is he/she taking deeper breaths?

Is he/she is trying to pull away from you? If he/she is indeed pushing you away, you’re doing it wrong and things aren’t really working out. The best thing that you can do here is to stop.

For some, a vampire kiss isn’t really romantic. If he/she is receptive, however, he/she will offer you body language clues.

15. WET KISS

Wet kisses are mostly open-mouthed kisses. They can be executed with your tongue. You can also give your partner a wet kiss without even touching his/her tongue. This kiss enhances s*xual arousal. Then again, too much of it can be sloppy.

When you’re giving your partner a wet kiss, it usually creates a physical connection. Look into his/her eyes first as a prelude to a wet kiss.

In Chinese medicine, your eyes are connected to an energetic pathway surrounding your ge****ls.

Wet kiss is especially great if you want to surprise your partner. This is great if you’ve never done it to your partner after a long time of being together. You may have a certain way of kissing him/her so your partner expects that kiss. So, surprising him/her with a wet kiss will make him/her faint with amazement.

Remember that kissing him/her when your partner least expects it is just one of the many ways to find a way out of your routine smooches. But no matter how romantic wet kiss is, you should consider carrying the pressure and the technique.

16. BREATH

It’s a type of kiss that can be considered as a game, rather than a real kiss. In here, you need to inhale deeply before locking your lips with your partner. When he/she inhales, you have to slowly exhale in to his/her mouth and vice versa. Even though a breath kiss isn’t a real kiss, it can still be a romantic gesture.

When he/she tilts on your left, lean in and embrace a little. This way, your lips aren’t the only ones touching but also your hearts.

This is more than a nice symbol of love but it’s also a way to experience a deeper connection with your partner. The reason for this is that the two of you are aware of your heartbeats which can be elevated through a breath kiss.

When you’re giving your partner this type of kiss, make sure that you’re conscious of what you’re doing. This kiss may still light up your and your partner’s nerve endings found in the mouth. It stimulates salivary glands. Producing more saliva while doing this kiss can give a little jolt to your libido.

You may not necessarily swap saliva in a breath kiss, it may still help in activating your s*x drive.

17. LOVE KISS

This is one of the most romantic kisses that you can offer to your partner. It’s a type of kiss that’s filled with thoughts about your partner. A love kiss can be given on your partner’s ear, forehead, mouth and neck.

In a love kiss, you may choose to kiss your partner a longer kiss. This gives him/her an idea that you’re passionately kissing him/her. Sometimes, a love kiss can lead to a French kiss and other types of kisses. If he/she is receptive, you need to keep doing what you’re doing. You also have to be conscious of his/her cues.

When you’re giving your partner a love kiss, you should use your hands wisely. Kiss and brush his/her cheeks while embracing him/her. Then, allow your hands to sweep his/her lower back. Allow your bodies to be your guide.

If you’ve been kissing for a while, make sure that you take a breather. This will prevent you to pass out. It would be too embarrassing for your partner to see you fainting while giving him/her a love kiss. Taking a breather will also give the two of you to have a chance of swallowing your saliva. This way, your kisses won’t be too wet.

It may also be great if you kiss your partner in a whole new light by opening your eyes while you kiss him/her. Although it can be difficult to do it, kissing while your eyes are open will hep you admire your partner’s face and expression while you’re in this very intimate moment.

A love kiss may be a perfect kiss but you should also kiss at the right time and the right move. If you’e anticipating making love you should offer your partner a deep kiss. That is with more tongue to help you set the mood.

18. BELLY BUTTON KISS

This type of kiss would usually lead to a lot more, even if the initial stage is sweet and innocent. Belly button kiss can’t be executed while you and your partner are in a public place. If you want to give your partner this kiss, you may need to clean up a bit.

Men must shave while wearing a nice outfit. Women should wear a s*xy lingerie, in case this kiss will lead to more. You and your partner must be in the mood before you engage in this type of kiss.

Even though a belly button kiss won’t require touching your partner’s lips, you still need to brush your teeth. If you’re anticipating this moment, you should avoid onions, garlic and other foods that may cause your breath to stink. For additional security, it’s best to chew a mint.

You also need to relax. Remember that you’re not in a public place. You are with your partner and you should be comfortable with it. However, before you give your partner a belly button kiss, make sure that he/she agrees to it. Some people like to be wooed first before they want to be kissed. If you’ve been dating for a while, you may even do it in the car.

Additionally, you need to control the setting. Always remember that a belly button kiss with good timing can surely pack a strong punch. The two of you will definitely feel those butterflies for sure.

It’s also ideal to take your partner by your hand. You can also squeeze your partner’s hand to keep him/her still. This will also increase anticipation.

19. TEASER

If you wish to engage in extra passion, you should consider a teaser kiss. You may start at the forehead of your partner and move to his/her cheeks, neck, nose, arms and hands. With this kiss, you’re teasing your partner and bringing in a certain desire in the atmosphere.

When you’re teasing your partner, you shouldn’t come off like an octopus. That is don’t grope your partner. The goal of this kiss is to be sensual. As you go in to embrace him/her, you may need to brush away his/her hair while you caress his/her cheek.

But a teaser kiss doesn’t necessarily lead to more. Sometimes, this kiss is more meaningful than a romantic and other types of kisses as long as it’s executed perfectly as a way to share your feelings. However, if you’re anticipating coitus, you need to express your love and affection to your partner. Be demonstrative and enhance the love between you and your girlfriend/boyfriend.

It’s quite unique to every couple, as it’s all about love and affection that oozes out while you’re teasing your partner. If you love your partner so much, passion will take a back seat while your love will drive this act. The teaser kiss will surely be out of this world.

FINAL THOUGHTS

All of these kisses have their own meanings. Your kissing style is usually influenced by what’s going on inside your mouth. When you think about love, you can give your partner extra kisses that are soft and sweet.

When two people kiss, a lot can go on. If it’s a romantic kiss, you’re gazing at each other. A kiss can be done early in a relationship. If it’s done right, it’s magic. However, if it goes wrong, it’s a tragedy. That said, it’s ideal that you pay attention to your partner. You need to read the mind of your partner to know the style of kiss that he/she is interested in.

Being a good kisser starts by paying attention and practicing it. Thus, you should learn the technical skills before adding the artistry. Whatever type of kiss you wish to give your partner, you should always start out slow.

Snapping Out Of Loneliness

In a world bursting at its seams because of overpopulation, it is ironic that so many people suffer from loneliness. Relationships matter. A lot. We thrive on our connectedness with family, friends, and community. Life is to be lived with others . Man is a social animal, and to remain healthy, we need the acceptance, love, and support of others.

Loneliness is a subjective experience. It has no boundaries. Whether young or old, rich or poor, single or married, educated or uneducated, anyone can suffer from loneliness. There is a lack of community and therefore a feeling of isolation even when surrounded by a crowd. It is being trapped inside walls that separate and alienate a person from those around them.

Jeffrey Young described three types of loneliness.

Transient Loneliness

Everyone experiences brief periods of loneliness or lonesomeness. Something so incredible and exciting has happened that the need to savour that moment alone becomes important. Or in a fit of rage, one needs to cool off and regain one’s self-control.

Situational Loneliness

Situations like bereavement, the loss of a job, a quarrel with spouse or friends, or travel which brings separation from the family, may cause periods of loneliness. This, however, is temporary.

Chronic Loneliness

Chronic loneliness is a sign of depression. A person withdraws into himself and becomes morose and uncommunicative. He feels that he is not wanted or needed by anyone, and life is not worth living. Warren Wiersbe calls it the “malnutrition of the soul.”

Solitude vs. Loneliness

Solitude must be distinguished from loneliness. It is simply physical isolation for a purpose. Creative people seek solitude so that they can concentrate on their work without being disturbed. Writers like J.D. Salinger and poets like Emily Dickenson preferred to be reclusive.

Solitude is also sought by many for prayer and meditation.

Causes of Loneliness

Social:

This occurs when there is no time for meaningful relationships. Frequent job transfers make it impossible to put down roots. Some people take a long time to make friends, and by the time they do so, they are ready to move. Competitiveness. One becomes focused on one’s self and is too busy succeeding in life. Fame and prestigious positions can isolate. Someone said, “Success can be as cold and lonely as the North Pole.” Fear of physical contact with strangers: People living alone (especially older people or women living in areas where there are no immediate neighbours). Impersonal and unfriendly societies usually seen in large cities. The disappearance of extended families can cause loneliness. Wives are deprived of security and fellowship. Emotional isolation of spouses who feel trapped in marriages that are lonely and isolating. Empty Nest Syndrome. Women feel they have lost their important role of motherhood. Homelessness. Lack of communication skills. Physical disabilities or the feelings of being too fat, too thin, or too ugly. Financial limitations. Illness and fear of impending death.

Psychological:

Lack of friends during childhood and adolescence may be a predisposing factor to loneliness. Rejection or hurt in childhood. They feel unloved, and because of these damaging experiences, they are afraid of being hurt again. Lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. They are unable to love themselves and are full of self-pity. The burden of guilt. Isolation keeps them from repeating mistakes. Psychological problems like depression, mental illness, or a phobia of physical contact. Some socially disruptive event in life like a broken marriage can cause loneliness. Life after break-ups can feel like death. “To fall in love is awfully simple but to fall out of love is simply awful,” says Bess Myerson. The loss of a spouse or child might result in chronic grief and withdrawal from family and friends.

Spiritual:

Inability to love God or love one’s self or one’s neighbour. Anger can make a person a loner and a stranger to one’s self. “Bitterness is a poison pill we swallow so that the other person will die.”

Effects of Loneliness

Various medical studies have shown a 3-fold increase of heart disease in those who isolate themselves. American Framingham Heart Study (2005) has shown that lonely men have raised levels of Interleukin 6 (IL 6) a chemical linked with heart disease. Other studies show a fall in HDL (good cholesterol) and a rise in bad cholesterol, LDH, and a rise in blood pressure and blood sugar. Loneliness depresses the immune system. Infections become severe. Viral infections like Herpes (ge***al and oral) are difficult to cure. Extremities become cold because of the narrowing of peripheral blood vessels (vasoconstriction). Can one die of loneliness? Studies say that it might lead to premature death. Lonely people are said to live shorter lives. The tendency to become addicted to drugs, alcohol, to***co or other substances is high. Loners can be angry, cynical or hostile. So people keep them at arm’s length. Loners hurt themselves not just physically but emotionally and spiritually, too.

How to Cure Loneliness

Analyze the reasons for your loneliness. Is it possible to eliminate or overcome them? Do you need help to change? Work on making friends. Human beings are social animals. We depend on each other for mental stability. No man is an island. “What do we live for if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?” says George Eliot. Dr. William Glasser believed that “At all times in our lives, we must have at least one person who cares about us and whom we can care for ourselves. If we do not have this essential person, we will not be able to care for our basic needs.” Develop self-love and retrieve your self-worth. Enlarge your social circle. It is important to have a network of friends with whom you can talk, laugh, discuss issues and learn how they tackle problems.

If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone.” Samuel Johnson.

Cultivate group activities. Go to movies, watch a play or attend a cricket match. Use your personal skills to interact and communicate with others. Outdoor exercises like walking, jogging, running, cycling, and swimming will dissipate loneliness. Get yourself a pet. Animal-assisted therapy has been successful in many cases. Studies show that this keeps blood pressure from rising and lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Cultivate interesting hobbies that take your mind off yourself. Music, painting, writing, or gardening are good hobbies. Short-term therapy under a professional counselor may be required to reverse negative feelings, develop a positive attitude to life, improve communication skills, and form friendships. It might take two or three months. Involve yourself in social activities. Reach out to someone else who is lonely.

Try to care about something in this vast world besides gratification of small selfish desires. Look on other lives beside your own. See what their troubles are and how they are borne.” George Eliot.

Spend time with family members. Travel. Religion: Get close to God. He can bring about inner healing. Old Age Home relationships have proven to be beneficial to lonely, older people.

Loneliness is debilitating but curable. Blessed are those who have the gift of making friends.

One must learn to say with Robert Burns,

I want someone to laugh with me, someone to grieve with me, someone to please me and help my discrimination with his or her own remark and at times no doubt, to admire my acuteness.

5 Things You Should Never Give Up Because Of Love

A relationship could make you want to become a better person. When you love someone, you may think of leaving certain things to please them, to be with them.

You may consider making some changes, making compromises and just trying to be with them even if it means giving up certain things.

It's good to be in love, but not at the expense of other important things in your life.

Whatever you decide to do, here are things you should never let go of in your search to form a relationship;

1. Independence

First and foremost: do not let your independence slip. You are a human first before being someone’s girlfriend. You are a human being with a mind, with feelings and with personal thoughts and ideas.

It is good to be a couple, but you are still a singular human and you should never stop nurturing that individuality. You should not stop growing as a person just because you want the union to grow. Don’t lose yourself to gain someone else.

Believe it, you’ll be an empty shell of your real self and the person will likely not even want that version of you.

2. Goals

Your long-held dreams and aspirations are valid and deserve to be actualised. Don't give them up for the sake of a relationship.

3. Family ties

Family is everything. No potentially-good partner will low-key or high-key try to turn your back against your family just so you can be with them.

4. Your friends

If you're with someone who tries to block all the great friendships you have, it is a red flag that you shouldn’t ignore.

Being with someone does not have to preclude having good friends. Unless your friends are bad people who exhibit anti-social anti-progressive behaviours, then you should not have to leave them to be in a relationship.

Anyone who tries to isolate you from friends is showing tendencies that you really should be bothered about.

If they don't respect you, it's not worth it.

5. Your self-respect

Self-respect remains a part of relationships. It is a huge element of being with someone and when you find yourself with someone who acts as if you are not worthy of respect, it is your cue to run.

Also don't beg to be loved. It is hardly ever worth it. Never lose your self respect for a man or woman. If they don’t know and abide by the tenets of self respect, they don’t deserve you.

Do not live with constant, intentional disrespect for the sake of a relationship. Because, really, will it even be a relationship if it lacks mutual respect?
