I have only been single for four years in New York but it seems like forty. So far in my dating escapades I’ve been stood up, watched as my dates have had meltdowns, broken out into tears, ramble on about an ex, tell me they want to date one of my friends, insult me to […]
In some was I was lucky, the conditions of my divorce made my split extremely cauterized. When I discovered my ex-husband was gay, I wanted out of the marriage immediately. I saw no hope for reconciliation and had no desire to work anything out. We had no children so I didn’t see the point in keeping him […]
I have been meaning to write this one for months now. So please don’t anyone get concerned, I am doing fine. I just wanted to capture in a slightly different writing style than my usual. Also this is not in reference to any one specific person. This is a piece of fiction based on my […]
One particular dating archetype that I have heard a lot about lately is Mr. Spontaneous. I am sure there are women who do this sort of thing, but it is especially a problem with men in New York City. Mr. Spontaneous is the #1 complaint that I hear from women about dating in the Big Apple. […]
This particular problem is not relegated to any gender, sexual orientation or age group. Cowards in the dating world are sadly universal.

A friend suggested I write this post, when I mentioned to her some of the things people have said to me post-split. It’s been three and a half years since my divorce but the hits keep coming! So I asked some of my divorced Facebook friends to tell me some of the worst comments they […]
Critics scrutinized the popular HBO series Sex and the City for the unrealistic extravagant lifestyles of its female protagonists. My biggest complaint with the series, and the myth it still perpetuates, is that I don’t know many single women who have that much sex. I have lived in New York now for nearly 12 years. Single […]
I get a lot of love and hate mail due to things I have written on this blog. My critics come from every direction imaginable from angry males calling me a man-hating shrew to virulent feminists claiming I am eroding the women’s movement. I find all of this venom ironic since I average a little […]
A good friend of mine recently confided in me his frustration with his man whore lifestyle. It seems he was now back with his on and off again girlfriend of several years. I don’t want to reveal his identity so I will leave out a lot of specifics. After a little back and forth he […]
This is a topic I have written about extensively in the past, but since I consider myself a divorce advocate I wanted to re-visit it. The holidays are rough…hang in there guys! I wanted to write this piece because I really think a lot of the “Advice for Divorced People” websites, books and other […]
