Ex-Etiquette where there are no children involved

Divorce without children

If your divorce does not involve children from the marriage or the relationship, there is technically no reason to maintain contact with your ex. That’s the good and the bad news.

When I was little, I had a bull terrier named Porgie. I loved her so much so, that I would greet her on all fours, hide her in my bed so she wouldnt be cold and even come home and climb into her dog basket with her. She was an absolutely mental dog and I…

Firstly, tell your boss what you’re dealing with. Do this in a brief and matter-of-fact way. Ask for a few days off. Deal with any urgent matters that won’t wait until your return to office. If you think you might get overly emotional,…

Some people find they need a routine to carry them through a crisis. But the general rule of thumb when facing divorce is that you should take leave from work to gather yourself and even 3 or 4 days will do.

Small Business Check  Up

I’ve known women who have started dating almost immediately after divorce. Others may enjoy what are known as ‘transitional sex partners’ These are usually people who become good friends and bed partners during the intervening period between divorce and falling in love again.

A naturopathic guide to surviving the flu season

By Lani Lopez Naturopath BHsc, Adv Dip Nat.

Many people confuse a cold with a flu.  It may be possible to soldier on with a cold, but you can’t fight your way through the flu, it lays you out for days if not weeks and this year’s seasonal flu, as it is every year, is a nasty and debilitating virus.

The big question is; Can I keep the…

It’s more involved than you can EVER imagine…

The problem with your new name is – IT’s…

I’m often asked: ‘When is a good time to start dating?’

One of the difficulties women face when they’re ready to start dating is where and how to start. Starting too soon or for the wrong reasons is not going to help re-build your self-confidence or help you become open to new intimate relationships.

Let’s not overlook the fact that you may be the one who wanted the divorce because you…
