Sometimes the thing that’s really weighing on your mind is the breakup. It’s ok. Breakups happen. The thing is that when it does happen, it’s important to know how to go about it properly.

They say that most people are dehydrated on a daily basis. No one is drinking enough water, and we’re all loading up on soda. Well our bodies aren’t the only things that can get dehydrated from time to time. Sometimes our relationships can dehydrate, and when that happens you need to know what to do to rehydrate so you can get back on track with one another.

I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of the fairy tale ending. We all know the one: 1 husband, 2.5 kids, a picket fence and a dog named Spot; the total package. Even better, it’s all controllable, well all of it except one thing – the husband.

So many times you hear about married couples complaining there isn't enough sex in their life. Whether it be because of work, children, illness or any other obligation, people just don't seem to be getting enough to satisfy themselves. Well, everyone listen up because Dr. Berman has the answer to your problem...

OK, so this blog is really outdated. It got lost in the shuffle of my computer and, when I found it the other day, I decided I still wanted to post it; especially since this show will be starting again this week.

Now I know I’ve done a blog about consulting your partner about things before, but recently a situation came up and all of the sudden the sides my boyfriend and I took switched. It was about taking a job and this time he sided w/ “consult me” and I sided w/ “no way!”

I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of the fairy tale ending – great career, 1 husband, 2.5 kids, a picket fence and a dog named Spot. To me it’s the whole package. And I’ve never really been worried about most of it. I mean all of it is controllable, well all except that silly husband part. Imagine that, even when he isn’t around yet he’s still a pain in the neck! Honestly, finding “the one” is no more controllable than adding hours to the day, no matter how much we believe it is. But there is one secret that may help. You’ve probably actually already heard it and just haven’t listen. Well listen up people, cause here it is!

Well hello everyone! Welcome to 2007! It's a new year and I hope everyone had a great 2006, holiday season and new year's eve. I know that I've been slacking lately, but it was a hard semester and I had a lot going on. But I'm back and better than ever! I'm ready to start the new year with a bang, and I promise I'll be around a lot more.

Since there are fewer than 20 days left in the holiday shopping season I thought I’d lend some words of wisdom about couple gift giving. Although I’m sure most of you have already bought your special someone their Christmas gift, when you’re in a newer relationship you tend to procrastinate a little more. Not because you don’t care or you’re just busy, but usually because you’re just not sure of the “perfect” gift for your situation.

Another really famous reason people use when they’ve cheated is that it was just one last fling before they really commit. This is usually used by people who are about to get married and, like all other reasons for cheating, it’s bull! Here’s why.

I love when your partner cheats on your and the best reason they can come up with is that it was an accident. No wait, an “accident”. Yes, that’s better. I’ve never had anyone use this reason on me, but if they did I would probably look that and laugh hysterically until I was rolling on the ground! I mean c’mon, does anyone actually buy that line?

Why do people let their partners call them fat or ugly or stupid or any other hurtful comment? Honestly, how can you think someone loves you if everyday, or even just once, they say you look fat?

So at the end of the chapter in ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ there is a little workbook with things you can do to help you realize that, well, he’s just not that into you. At the end of chapter three Greg and Liz give readers a chance to answer one of the many letters they get. I thought, this being an advice blog, I’d give it a shot. Hopefully it’ll even help some of you out there. Here’s the letter:

I’m not a big Dr. Phil person. It’s not that I don’t agree with what he says or think he’s knowledgeable when it comes to what he’s talking about, I think it’s just that I don’t like the way he gives his advice sometimes. Plus, there are a lot of times when he’s just a little too crazy for me and I get very annoyed! But lately his topics have caught my attention and not long ago was no exception. The topic was online dating and well, I may not have tried it myself, but let’s just say I've learned a lot about the subject from all of my friends' horror, and sometimes magical, stories!

What is an acceptable time to call someone after they give you they’re phone number? That’s the question I’m posing to everyone out there.
