A Reader Responds - Who Says Infidelity is Bad?

Apart from the regular Dear Myne's, I get a lot of responses to my posts from readers of this blog, especially those who subscribe to receive it in their inbox.

When Does a Relationship Actually Begin?

Some of us have the notion that when a man and a woman get together, it is usually the woman who may have cajoled the man into the marriage.

However, it is not often that we get a candid insight from a man who is married or about to get married.

Will You Marry A Man You Know Is Cheating?

When Evelyn Lozada was asked sometime ago about her fiance Ochocinco cheating on her, she said "I care. I’m not going to say that I don’t care, but I’m not going to stress myself to a point that I’m trying to do everything to stop him. Listen, if you want to go and f-ck then whatever, like I’m 36.

At the Newseum in Washington DC - Weekend Pictures

As a blogger, you can imagine that I was very interested in the new media section of the Newseum in Washington DC during our last trip. Another section I liked was the front pages from different countries and cities of the world.

I couldn't help noticing when some weeks ago when I was folding some of my light-colored clothes that they looked brighter and so I asked. Turns out, he picked up a new detergent for the light colors since our supermarket had run out of our usual brand. The new one was the Tide Plus Bleach Alternative.
