    You Weren’t Meant to Be His Stepping Stone

    July 6, 2025 - By Ruby

    You supported him. You paid for things. You were there through every job hunt, every failed plan, every excuse. And he said, “Just give me time. When I get on my feet, I’ll marry you.” That was years and years (and years!) ago. Here’s the truth: You were acting like a partner, but he was treating you like a placeholder.…

    From Lovers to Strangers

    May 7, 2025 - By Ruby

    Sometimes, love meets us in a moment when we are not ready to receive it fully. Or we are, and they are not. The reasons vary. Timing. Distance. Circumstances neither of you could change. Still, it leaves you with the ache of unfinished conversation and the weight of unspoken goodbyes. It’s a strange thing—to become strangers with someone who knows…

    Rediscovering Yourself After a Relationship: Who Were You Before “Us”?

    September 15, 2024 - By Ruby

    There’s a strange kind of fog that rolls in after a breakup. Not just the obvious heartache or grief, but a deeper sense of disorientation — as if you’ve lost something more than just the relationship. For many of us, the hardest part of moving on isn’t letting go of the other person; it’s remembering who we were before the…

    Are You Settling? Signs You’re Accepting Less in Dating (And Why I Stopped Chasing)

    September 14, 2024 - By Ruby

    I’ve been there. The sleepless nights, overthinking every word exchanged, and clinging to a relationship that, deep down, I knew wasn’t right. But I wasn’t ready to let go. I convinced myself that if I just tried harder, gave more, or   waited   longer, things would magically change. Spoiler alert: They didn’t. For a long time, I believed that compromise was…

    Spoken Word: My Man Puts Me on a Pedestal

    October 4, 2023 - By Ruby

    My man puts me on a pedestal, and I let him.  It’s not about pride or arrogance; it’s about knowing that he truly sees me. In his eyes, I am something special, something worth admiring.  I can’t help but feel a warmth spread through me every time I see that look in his eyes. You know, it’s easy to be…

    Spoken Word: What Does It Mean to Yearn for Forever?

    September 17, 2023 - By Ruby

     What does forever mean in words of yearning? It means I believe in the promise of tomorrow, in the idea that life with you will be full of more surprises than I can imagine.  Forever to me is like a book with blank pages, waiting to be filled with the stories we’ll write together.  I see a future where we…

    Never Breaking Up is a Myth

    September 8, 2023 - By Ruby

    Why is it dangerous to say “we will never break up”? Here is a lesson in relationship realism that I learned the hard way.  Early love is beautiful and those currently in its throes can feel invincible and certain about their future as a couple. It’s not uncommon for couples deeply in love to make grand declarations like “we will…

    Achieving True Compatibility is Like Tandem Swimming

    September 3, 2023 - By Ruby

    You know, I used to believe that finding the perfect match was the ultimate secret to a successful relationship. I clung to this idea for quite some time, and it probably contributed to my “player” persona back in the day. I’d assess compatibility based on various factors like shared interests, social status, and maturity levels.  Yes, Criteria.   Having some criteria…
