Today, you may be compatible as romantic partners and find everything your partner does acceptable and cute. In a marriage, ten years down the line, you may find it hard to see eye-to-eye on little problems, quirks or habits. These differences can blow up into everyday conflicts. There are things you should know before marriage and that will only make the foundation of your relationship solid. Asking the right, pointed questions will bring new aspects of your personalities to light....

1. “I miss you so much”: This might be true, might not be. This is very personal and puts you in a vulnerable place. Missing someone brings out the truth that they still hold importance in your life (and for your ex, you might not hold that kind of importance).

You’d rather see the earnest love behind those gestures and tell him exactly what he wants to hear....

Finding someone compatible with us can be hard. Really hard. That’s why we go through difficult relationships....

Chats and conversations are still innocent and you don’t really dive into deep waters. Soon enough though, he asks you out on a casual date but your feelings for him have gone way beyond casual.

This means when the partner is away, ambivalently attached individuals get highly anxious and upset; and when the partner is with them, they are irritable and cranky. Due to their ambivalent frame of mind, they are neither fully committed to their partner, nor able to develop an everlasting bond with them. Due to these reasons, they are never able to live the moment with the partner peacefully. For ‘normal’ partners, such individuals could bring a toxic influence, eroding the quality and future of a romantic relationship....

But some could say a marriage could reap the benefits of extramarital affairs, and make you appreciate your spouse more. After all, love is multidimensional. Maybe one kind of love actually strengthens another. We got a bunch of people to weigh in, and their thoughts were both varied and surprising....

“I was recently confused about a guy liking me. He said he really liked me but I didn’t feel as strongly about him. I didn’t know how to approach this conversation with him. Should I wait to fall in love, or should I tell him how I feel so he knows where I stand?” Rachel shares. Being confused about a guy is frustratingly common. There are days you feel like you’re on the same page as him, and on other days, it feels like you’re both standing in two distant corners of a library....

Lombroso, the father of criminology, introduced this term, stating that female criminals are more involved in crimes of passion than males....
