12 Signs Your Relationship Is on Lock You're crushing this whole conflict resolution business. Getty   1.  Your partner has accused you of being a witch because you've texted them about picking up milk when they were ALREADY PICKING UP MILK.  You are basically psychic in your ability to predict what your partner is about to do. You're there before they even know they need you. You remind them about that meeting they have or that errand they're supposed to take care of. They know you've had a shitty day based on a single text and are already at home with your favorite movie on. 2. You would miss the season finale of  Scandal to be there for him . You would (and have) moved halfway across the country because one of you got a better job offer. You've canceled countless plans when your partner needed you. It doesn't matter

Getty Images 1. The bride had pre-wedding jitters.  If the future Mrs. has cold feet, the couple's risk of divorce more than doubles , according to a study published in the Journal of Family Psychology . The good news? A groom with "I do" doubts has almost no impact on the future of the marriage.  2. The couple got married young — or after age 32.  Sure, conventional wisdom holds that getting married too early isn't the best bet for a lasting union . "I often see couples in their 40s in counseling who got married too young and didn't have experience with other partners or want different things now," says  Rachel Sussman , a licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert.

11 Things Every Woman Thinks on Tinder Dates If this sucks, I'm leaving in an hour. Getty Images 1. If this sucks, I'm leaving in an hour. Maybe I should set an alarm and label it, "Are you having fun, Lane? Really? Be honest." 2. Even if this is horrible, at least I can tell all my friends while they give me pitying looks. And then they'll say things like, "Ugh, I do not miss being single," and I'll be like, "I know!" and then we'll all get drunk. Not bad.  3. What if this is seriously The One and then one day, we're like "And we met on Tinder. I know, lame, right?" But then what we really do is look at each other adoringly because awwww, modern love. 4.

How Can You Tell if a Guy Is Ready to Settle Down? Here's how you know if a dude is ready for a real-deal relationship or still playing the field.       When is a man ready to settle down? The answer is not always as obvious as we might like. In a culture as visual as ours, we demand the most conspicuous of tells. If a guy is covered in maritime tats and wears Warby Parker specs, he's probably open-minded and down with composting. If you spot truck nuts dangling from his jacked-up Ford F-350 Super Duty, he may feel that "the old ways are the best ways." Sadly, unless a dude picks you up in a minivan that's not his mom's, the clues about his readiness for long-term commitment won't be as blaring as his Coexist bumper sticker. As a married guy, I can tell you that I felt ready at the exact

The 14 Best Moments in Every Relationship   1. The first time you hang out one-on-one (and yes, Netflixing counts). Nothing is more exciting than letting out all your pent-up crush energy on a first date. It's almost as big a deal as your potential wedding day in terms of stories you'll have to tell over and over. PRO TIP: Don't bring up potential weddings on the first date. 2. That first awkward, nervous pause right before your first kiss. Your first kiss says, "I like hanging out with you, but I also want to make out with you all the time. Let's take this to the next level." 3. The first time you bone. Well, hopefully your first time was a great moment. And if not, you're a very selfless person for sticking with them.  4. The first time you stay the night instead of abruptly peacing-out like Cinderella the se

The 14 Best Things About Having a Boyfriend 1. No more fumbley, weird "I don't even know what you like" first-time sex.  That's not to say that boyfriend sex is fool-proof but your odds of having someone accidentally pull your hair because their stupid elbow was on it go down by a lot.  2. He can not reply to your text and you won't go into a panic attack shame spiral wondering if he's ghosting.  You can say "he's probably just busy" and know for a fact that yes, that is why. It's like having an oxygen tank at all times.  3. You always have someone to zip up the back of your dress so you don't have to do that weird acrobatic arm thing. Even if it is probably good for your deltoids or something. It still blows. 4. You always have someone to split food with for those days when you feel like ordering like a
