....though modern Marriage is a tremendous laboratory, its members are often utterly without preparation for the partnership function. How much agony and remorse and failure could have been avoided if there had been at least some rudimentary learning before they entered the partnership....And that statement is equally valid for all relationships.

Moreover, in conversations with women, men do most of the talking (Haas,
1979), and despite hackneyed stereotypes about women being more talkative
than men, we're apparently used to this pattern. When people listen to record-
ings of conversations, they think it's more disrespectful and assertive for a
woman to interrupt a m~ than vice versa (Lafrance, 1992).

Zehn Tipps, das Morden zu beenden und mit dem Abwasch zu beginnen
Love is a compulsion you can’t subdue; an irresistible force, one can’t restrain! It’s not in our control, no matter how hard you try; like trying to curb and hold back when your bladder is full. There is no free will, you see.

How to Rebuild Trust in a Relationship: A Qur’an, Hadith, and Psychology-Based Guide to Healing Hearts
Not everything in your life needs to be shared. Some chapters are meant to stay with you, quiet, unspoken, and safe. Because not everyone deserves to know your truth, and some only listen to twist it. They will turn your pain into gossip, your scars into stories they enjoy telling. So keep some parts sacred, not everyone needs to know everything about you.

My ultimate goal in recovery is not to end up in a healthy relationship with the perfect partner, my ultimate goal in recovery is to end up in a healthy relationship with myself.

You know, it’s not about proving them wrong. It’s about becoming stronger than the version of you they once broke, the one who stayed, tried, and still wasn’t enough. It’s not even about revenge, it’s about self-respect and self-realization. Because fixing yourself after being torn apart is the loudest comeback.

How high can you fly before you crash?
How long can you stay intoxicated beyond all recognition?
How long can you sustain a buzz, a bender, a peak experience, a magic carpet ride, a hot-burning flame of mania, a trip to Venus on a pink cloud?
How many days can you cut Earth School before you get called to the principal’s office?
These are all very good questions that addicts do not generally like to answer.
When pushed, however, an addict’s short response to all these questions is usually something along the lines of: As long as I can.
We will keep this ride going for as long as we can.
And we will not put it down until there is nothing left to smoke, drink, fuck, eat, spend, hoard, shoot into our veins, disappear into, or lick off the carpet in crumbs.

Still another person said: “Rayya could very well die now behind a locked door as a degraded and angry junkie. That would be a very sad end for her. But there’s only one thing that could make that death even sadder—and that would be if you were sitting on the floor right next to her, also behind that locked door, trapped in that nightmare with her. That would be really tragic, because now we’re talking about two destroyed lives, instead of just one. Don’t let it happen.

Before his death in 2016, Hazelwood spoke about Keyes. Hazelwood's decades of service had left him with a cynical view of the FBI's truthfulness in general, and he believed stranger abductions are far more common then the Bureau insists. He was convinced that the proliferation of hard-core pornography, so easily and anonymously accessible online, has contributed to increasingly sadistic crimes and murders. He believed that technology, the mainstreaming of violent pornography, advances in ever-faster travel, and an overall culture of misogyny, from politics to entertainment, would only contribute to breed more aberrant and dangerous criminals. He made this prediction in 2001. [!!]

Our well-being is not dependent on anyone else’s behaviour. This does not mean that we don’t desire or prefer certain things from others. It means that our happiness is not tied to whether or not those wishes are met. We can invite, but we do not demand.

I don’t understand how some people take pride in being rude. It’s like they think harsh words or cold behavior make them look strong and unbreakable, but in reality, it shows how small their heart are. You know, softness doesn’t make a person weak; it shows strength. Being rude might get attention for a moment, but it leaves emptiness behind. I have realized that respect and gentle words build bridges, while rudeness only burns them.
