      About the author

      Relationships are always difficult. It is just the nature of the beast since men and women think and act so differently. There will always be drama, and conflict, and disappointment. With luck there will also be amazingly good times and companionship those wonderful feelings that only being in love can generate.

      The problem comes when the relationship is souring. Is it just a phase? Will it get better again? Or is this just the beginning of a long slow slide into the depths of relationship Hell? It's really hard to know! With luck some of these articles will help you make the tough choices needed to decide whether you stay and fight it out or bail and start over. Sometimes, the first step is saving yourself...

      Letting Go

      I lost my best friend last night. She was my best friend, lover, compatriot, and partner-in-crime. We were together for almost 6 years and the hole she leaves in my heart and my life is overwhelming.

K (I'll just call her that for now) was extremely open-minded, loved anything that involved touch and made all kinds of entertaining noises when I touched her. Most of the time she enthusiastically touched me back.

      In addition, we shared the same birthday, along with my oldest daughter and twin sister! We were soul mates. We finished each other's thoughts. She thought much like a guy, so I was always free to point out pretty women when we were together if she didn't beat me to it first.

      For the first time in my life I was comfortable being me 100% of the time and it was fabulous. I encouraged her to learn how to ride a motorcycle and we had great fun buying and selling bikes which paid for vacations, motorcycle stuff (she called my motorcycle parts catalogs 'motorcycle porn') etc. We tried all kinds
