But the problem with this great life? It’s very boring … really, incredibly boring. So I decided to find a fairly creative way to spice up my life — and no, I don’t mean taking up Zumba or learning to crochet. I mean attending The Annual Sex Maniacs Erotic Fetish Ball. When a friend told me he had an extra ticket, my first question was (as I’m sure yours is, too): WHAT?...
The narcissist usually struggles with profound feelings of shame and low self-esteem. The grandiosity you see, the clamoring for admiration, is a way to keep all those painful feelings about themselves at bay.

There is, however, another way to understand your virtues and vices in relationships: attachment styles. Attachment styles come from attachment theory in psychology. The theory began with John Bowlby, who studied infant attachment, then continued with Mary Ainsworth with children. More recently, attachment has been studied in adults. Children’s attachment styles are concerned with their family and early friendships. The way your parents treated you as a child, even as an infant, shapes the way you interact with others and form relationships....

Life hasn’t always been fair. It hasn’t always been easy. But somehow I’ve made it this far. Growing up, I always saw God in my father. But lately, I’ve lost sight of the God I once saw in him. No matter how hard I look, I can’t seem to find him anymore. When my father told me about his affair, I wasn’t opposed. His life thus far has been difficult, and his marriage with my mother was already crumbling into pieces so small that putting them back together was impossible....

First, he evicted his wife from their home. RELATED: Groom Exposes Cheating Wife At Wedding By Playing Video Of Her Affair With Brother-In-Law But he didn’t stop there. He then took to the internet to try to sell her. I mean, could you imagine taking a scroll through eBay one day to check out the goods and finding this there? Shirt, shoes, basketball, someone’s wife … umm, what?

In eighth grade, Courtney and Melanie, my best friends, just stopped talking to me. They never told me why. For most of the school year I wandered around in a daze. I wondered what I’d done wrong, how I could fix it, and what about me was so worthy of hate. I chalked that experience up to the terror that is middle school. That is, until it happened again in my 20s....
