Can't commit and having risky relationships? And facing empty nest syndrome...
Today I've commented in the Sun newspaper about people who can't commit to relationships and have flings - they often have three key characteristics to their personality: 1/ a risk taking nature 2/ an impulsive nature 3/ the ability to compartmentalise different parts of their life. If that's you or your in a relationship with someone like this they must be honest and get some help.
Last night on my monthly agony aunt slot on Sue Marchant's BBC Eastern regions radio programme we covered lots of topics - including getting over breakups, getting creative in your life and another issue we covered was empty nest syndrome and how it's going to strike many families in the next couple weeks as grown-up children leave home to study or perhaps take a job.
This can be a terrible wrench - I've been there and really felt it for about three months until I adjusted to my youngest having flown the nest. It'll pass but it the time it doesn't feel like it.
TODAY’S TIP: You can prepare for empty nest now by making sure they have a prepaid mobile to keep in touch with you and all so looking at making time to do something stimulating and new for yourself.
The key thing is to support your children in growing into independent adults - even if you want to grab them, bring them home and keep them as your youngster forever!
You can also strengthen your relationship with your partner now that you don't have the responsibilities of your children 24/7. Some couples find they’ve drifted apart but whatever you do, don't let panic set in - you can build a bridge between you if this has happened.
Look after each other, Pamx
