Don't keep giving them chances when they treat you badly, reconnecting with the past...
My Love Clinic goes live on iVillage UK has gone live - this week it's one heck of a complicated relationship dilemma. If you're stuck giving repeated chances to your partner definitely check-a-look... they shouldn't be putting you in this situation and you shouldn't be staying in it! You've got to ask yourself that question if you are putting up with it time and time again.
Will Iranian film A Separation win the foreign film Oscar? Whether it wins an Oscar or not it sounds like a complex human drama about marital breakdown. It reveals the kind of problems separating couples face that seem insurmountable - like if one has to move far away. Instead of seeing your problems as a wall between you try and pick that wall down one brick at a time... there are always solutions. Often they come in the form of many smaller compromises - those bricks that need pulling down.
TODAY’S TIP: Looking forward to catching up over lunch with an old pal that I haven't seen for ages. It's nice to reconnect from time to time. Don't put off e-mailing, tweeting, ringing that person because you fear they won't reply. Well, if they don't no big deal!
We always fear the worst like they're purposely rejecting us. When it might be something completely innocent like they are going for a frantic time, or they're going for an unhappy time, and they don't want to burden you with it.
Move on and don't let such experiences stop you from trying to reconnect.
Take care of yourself, Pam x
