What's a girl to do?

Dear Reader,

I met a man at my job about a year ago. We will call him “Marcus.”

Marcus was very persistent to get to know me. He would treat me to lunch every day and we would have conversations about everything. As time passed, we began to form a connection with one another. We had so much in common and we were definitely attracted to one another. I’m ashamed to say it, but, we were both in relationships. I can say that I wasn’t happy with my situation at home. I was more so comfortable than happy. I had someone I could depend on, but the love and sex were gone.

I always asked Marcus  was he happy with his girlfriend and what was their relationship status, but he never would answer. I respected him for not telling me their business, but after a while it was like she didn’t exist. I ended my current situation at home and my ex had moved out. Marcus  would come over nearly every day. I believe with us spending so much time together, we both developed some sort of feelings. About 5 months had passed but we still hadn’t had sex.

I’m an attractive woman and I don’t have any issues as far as dating, but I can honestly say I’ve never connected to ANY man like I have with him. It was really hard for me to walk away from that. Not to mention he had the qualities of a man that I always wanted. (Aside from cheating). We began to have a sexual relationship. The sex was amazing as well. Soon after that, we started telling each other we love each other. I never wanted nor expected him to end his relationship at home. Mainly because in the back of my mind I knew that wasn’t playing fair and I do believe in Karma.

So, I guess I settled for becoming his “hook up chick.” After a while, I started to want more and I also wanted to know about his “girlfriend” just to see what she was like. So, I found her on social media. I saw pics of them hugged up. I realized the day the pics were taken he had asked to come spend time with me earlier that day. I was upset because he was really playing the role of the loving boyfriend. I tried blocking this woman out, but it was obvious he was “happy” with her.

So, I decided it was finally time to leave him alone knowing I didn’t deserve that. I told him how I felt because I wanted him to know he hurt me and played with my emotions. He then claimed he just wanted to talk and showed up at my house. We didn’t have sex, instead he just held and kissed me. Like that was his way of saying he didn’t want me out of his life. I know he could have other women, but he still doesn’t want me to leave him alone. I’ve been avoiding seeing him. However, he has been making many attempts, along with calling and texting. I must admit, we had some great times and we connected. That’s what makes it hard to walk away. I love him but this situation has got me feeling so ashamed. Do I just change my number and move on? How do I heal from this? – Ms New Booty 

My opinion: Why not come first? I'm personally not interested in pumping any mans head up to think I'm so low/cool that I don't deserve the first and best of anything he has for me.  If I have to cheat on my man he isn't worth having in the first place and if a man is involved with a woman I won't allow him to even think of me as an option.  When you have something GREAT you don't wanna share you'd rather see someone with their own!  Lastly constantly work on yourself being full, complete and satisfied alone, relationships are completely different when your needs are fulfilled before you date.  Meaning when you date someone with hopes of them moving in to pay half, or date someone to get exposure to their friends or looking for any superficial hope; these are cheating type relationships... So first before anything be complete because that's a part of being READY!

Fitness Motivation

It's easy to find yourself thinking of how bad you need to workout only to let days go by thinking of where to even start, thighs, arms, core, butt and the more time I spend thinking about it (personally) it seems more and more impossible.  My schedule, lifestyle and will-power all work against each other.  I started using a few of the tips below:

1. Stay hydrated 

2. Make healthy choices with your meals

3. Get prepared for the workout planned

4. Workout buddy (haaaaay professor)

5. Don't over do it just cause you missed a day 

6. Make it enjoyable (who wants another job right)

Keep it cute and let me know how it works!

Khloe to divorce Lamar

Khloe Kardashian is taking a pretty big risk by officially withdrawing her divorce petition to stay with Lamar Odom. He is an addict and there’s no telling if he’ll be able to stay on the sober wagon. According to a TMZ report, Khloe has made it very clear to Lammy that if he ever uses drugs again, she’s calling Tyrone to help him come get his s#!t.

Apparently Khloe is “annoyed” that people are lookin’ at her like a damn fool for taking Lamar back, but she knows that if she isn’t in his life, the worst is yet to come. Lamar’s medical bills are upwards of several millions and he just doesn’t have that kind of bread any more. 

Lamar is said to still be on the Kardashian health insurance plan, but Khloe doesn’t just want him to have coverage, she wants him to have a support system that can help keep him clean.

My opinion is when you truly love someone you go above and beyond, for them.  But when a person is self destructing and you know their potential to do better, you fight yourself to either stick around and watch or distance yourself.  In this case we've seen Khloe try both, I hope everything works out and they're on the high road to happiness.  

Pray and stay out of the way!

   

Talk is Cheap!

Talking through your issues costs Nothing!  However, it's also very useful knowing how to communicate with an irrational person. I know how frustrating it can be to try to explain something to someone who just doesn’t want to listen to your arguments and who only cares about their side of the story. Well, even if in this situation you are tempted to just leave and to just let them think they are right, sometimes you just can’t do that because you have a certain responsibility and you need to behave in a different way. With a bit of work, you can manage to learn how to defuse someone’s anger and help them reach a more rational frame of mind. Here are a few very useful tips on how to communicate with an irrational person that will help you calm a situation down: 

1. REMAIN CALM

One of the most helpful tips on how to communicate with an irrational person is to try to remain calm and to avoid getting all worked up, no matter how hard. Just take a deep breath, think of something that will make you feel good, that will help you calm down and that will help you see things from a different perspective. If you respond with anger, they will think that their anger is justified. This will only make them feel even angrier and the entire situation might escalate. Learn how to control your temper and remember that your goal is to make them feel calm as well, so you’ll be able to reason with them.

2. SEE THINGS FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE

Before making any decision, try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes and see things from their perspective. Maybe they are just frustrated because they are having a bad day or they are just going to a rough time and they can’t see things clearly. Allow them to explain themselves and once they finish, try to present them your point of view.

3. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

Another very important thing you should do if you are trying to reason with someone is to make sure you know what you are talking about. Ensure you're right - check all the facts and then, when you are sure you know what you are talking about, present your argument. Make sure you are not using faulty information to prove your point and that your position is well thought out, well documented and that you’ve done your research.

4. SET BOUNDARIES

When you are dealing with someone who is being irrational, try to set some clear boundaries or limits, so to let them know what behavior you think is acceptable and what actions you can’t tolerate. Just tell them what you are not willing to put up with and remain calm. Make your conditions clear and ask them to respect your boundaries, since you will do the same with theirs.

7. REALIZE SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN’T WIN

Sometimes you just have to realize that there’s no winning and that no matter how hard you try, you just can’t get through to a person. There are a lot of irrational and angry people who just need to vent, so try to remain calm, let them say what they want to say, so they can get it out of their system, try to endure their fury and then, maybe they will be more reasonable and they will listen to your arguments.

It’s not always easy to reason with someone who behaves in an irrational way. You need to have a lot of patience and you need to remain calm, no matter how angry they get. You wouldn’t want to make things worse, so try to keep your cool and look for different ways to reason with them. How do you communicate with an irrational person?

Who is Madison Montag?

A Star was born.  As you may have heard Lamar Odom didn't pay his $75k Love Ranch bill, so, The gloves are off.  And we are nearly in a "tell all" situation.  If you're wondering who exactly Madison Montag is and how she feels about her new exposure.  

Earlier stories stated two women Lamar Odom spent time at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch were Cherry Ryder shown above along with Monica Monroe, however, details now reveal Monica playing a very small role in a huge mess.  New updates show Monica Monroe discovered along with Cherry Ryder an unresponsive Lamar Odom, and the NBA star in fact spent time with a transgender woman by the name of Madison Montag (pictured below)

Madison Montag has since distanced herself from the Love Ranch, and wants privacy.

Madison Montag..wait a minute Lamar Odom update

This story is slowly beginning to make sense, new developments have been revealed about Lamar Odom's Love Ranch visit:

Shortly, after the world learned that Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, workers at the Love Ranch identified the two women who may have helped save his life.

Ryder Cherry 

Madison Montag

Before he was airlifted to the Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Lamar was discovered in his suite by two Love Ranch workers who attempted to revive him.

They have been identified as Madison Montag and Ryder Cherry, both of whom are believed to be legal prostitutes employed by the brothel.

Thus far, neither of the women has commented on the situation, though Montag did tweet a series of praying hands Emojis shortly after the first updates on Odom's condition were made public.

Cherry has locked her social media accounts, presumably after being bombarded with requests for comment.

Love Ranch owner Dennis Hof says he and his employees attempted to revive Odom, but the 35-year-old vomited and remained unresponsive.

They called 911 and may have saved his life, but his prognosis remains grim.

Tangled web.

Lamar Odom's Love Ranch Update

The NBA star athlete is alive but not in good condition at all.  However the owner of the Love Ranch Dennis Hof has made more shocking revelations about the now public $75k week of partying hookers and drugs, get more of this story and pictures below:

It appears that Dennis Hof has done quite a series of interviews covering many aspects of Lamar Odom being found unconscious at his Love Ranch. We’re hearing that some of these are raising eyebrows with law enforcement as his stories are changing somewhat. After we broke the story that Madison Montag was one of the girls who found Lamar, it was picked up and Hof had stated in interviews that the former basketball star had been ‘chatting’ online with Nevada’s first legally licensed transsexual courtesan the week preceding his visit to the brothel.

 Hof stated in a Sirius XM interview that Odom had intended to meet her and spend some time together.

Hof originally told People Magazine that it was Ryder Cherry and Madison that had found Lamar, but then he changed his story ever so slightly with another media outlet to say that he wound up with Ryder Cherry and Monica Monroe. Our sources say different and that it was Montag he was also with which was also confirmed when we called the Love Ranch early last Wednesday morning. Our source, who understandably wishes to remain anonymous, said that the stories have changed so that it wouldn’t get out Lamar was with Montag too. “Things have gotten out of control there, and that’s why girls are leaving and not coming back,” they said. “The more Hof talks, the worst things keep getting.”

As predicted, Khloe sent her lawyer to dismiss their divorce case so this whole storyline is right out of the Kardashian playbook for the upcoming season. At least friends of the family won’t have to put out money for another wedding since the court’s backlog kept them from officially divorcing the couple.

Don’t be shocked if the two wind up having a renewal of their vows though as a great ratings draw. Naturally, they’ll say that since they’ve been given a second chance in their relationship, this is only natural; plus that will give E! another wedding special, and the two will have another bonanza of wedding renewal gifts to sort through. Yes, it sounds cynical, but even the most diehard of Kardashian fans know that this is exactly how it will all play out.

Lamar Odom unconscious??

Lamar Odom is fighting for his life after falling into unconsciousness at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources at the Love Ranch tell us ... 35-year-old Odom arrived at the Ranch Saturday and was partying with the girls for days.   A source at the Ranch said Lamar was taking an herbal substitute for Viagra.

We spoke with Hof  ... who tells us Tuesday afternoon, a woman went into Odom's room in the VIP suites and found him unconscious. 

We're told the woman began screaming for the manager -- who called 911. 

The manager rolled Lamar over on his side and saw "mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth."

An ambulance took Lamar to Pahrump hospital, where doctors intubated him ... an indication he could not breathe on his own.

We're told Lamar is being airlifted from the hospital to Las Vegas for more treatment.

Our sources tell us, "It's not good." 

We're told Lamar had been partying at the ranch by himself -- with no friends or entourage -- and is now alone at the hospital. 

The ranch staff says they want to be in the room with Lamar but since they're not family they're not allowed.

All in or bluffing?

We all know that one couple that just won’t call it quits no matter how bad it gets, and we wonder why they stay if they’re so miserable. Have you ever noticed how a person is completely different in front of their significant other?  They don’t talk, joke, or damn near act the same until that person is almost 100 feet away. Which is disturbing, the mask that they wear to adjust to their significant other or how they behave when the mask comes off and they are not around? If you have to pretend, they may not be for you.  Effort is a beautiful thing and why it’s important to give the relationship your best shot, you have to know when to call it quits with the wrong person.

 

Those red flags that you ignored in the beginning are staring you in the face and you’re trying to decide whether to run, hide, or to accept it. Too many couples miss those warning signs by excusing their partner’s actions or simply ignoring them. Most won’t realize how bad the damage is until it’s too late or they are too deep in, and that’s where you get caught up. You either choose to be loyal to someone that may not be worth it or cut your losses early and seek happiness elsewhere.

 

Of course, it’s a tough decision to make, but what’s the benefit of staying if you’re unhappy. Some people continue failed relationships because of security, emotional dependence, approval, or if they share children together, but is it really worth it?   What do you lose if you decide to leave? What if you can actually love your life and the people in it?

 

Some men and women jump from relationship to relationship without addressing the issues within self which can spill over into their next relationship. That’s not fair and it only leaves problems to address later down the line with someone new.  Getting a new man won’t heal you and meeting a new woman won’t fulfill you.   I always say the top layer is just the flavor; it’s the inside that gives you favor. We have to stop staying because of convenience. It’s okay to be alone especially f that other person does not compliment your life.

 

When you’re with the right person, things will always align as they are supposed to.   You should feel secure in your relationship, not unstable and ready to walk away when the next opportunity presents itself. Failed relationships are not just lessons, they are blessings. Those situations teach us what values we want in our significant others and what standards we have set for ourselves.  Everyone has flaws, some are understandable and others are not. We all have baggage, but that does not mean that you should accept anything. Be warned that grass is not always green on the other side.  You may end up in a situation that was worse than tour current one so be sure to make your next move your best move.

 

Love is a beautiful thing especially when two people respect and honor the scarcity of love, but for those still in search of self, that may be a pretty big step. We can’t expect a broken person to love is properly.  Don’t be fooled looking out of a stained glass window at someone else's life, everything isn’t always what it seems.
