“Relationships”

Dear CMR,

As a dating couple, Facebook has become an issue because my boyfriend doesn’t want anything about us on his page. Is this ok?

Alisa Grace gives you warning signs on some real-life, red flags within romantic relationships.

According to Dr. Tim Downs, every one of our conflicts can be boiled down to one of seven basic topics, including loyalty, security, and responsibility.

Dear CMR,

I asked a friend to go on a date, and she initially agreed. Then a few hours later she texted me back and said she was busy that night, and perhaps they could instead go on a group date with some friends. How do I make sure things aren't awkward between us as friends?

Dear CMR,

I feel like I have heard it all — "relationships are a two-way street," "both people need to be in it to win it," and "it's not healthy to be in a one-sided relationship." What do you suggest in a relationship where only one person wants to change and grow to work out the relationship while the other is complacent? How do you cope with it or try to make it thrive? 

Thanks, One-Sided Relationship
