Dear brother I wish you were here to help me through this difficult time In my life . My life has fallen apart these last eight months It all came crashing to the ground month after month. 

From my husband walking out on me for another woman, from my husband filing for divorce, to the constant nasty remarks . Last but not least my husband became a bully towards me , he became this monster that I didn't recognize anymore . 

Dear brother I wish you were here to guide me through this there are days I want to quit, there are days I want to just say screw it . I wonder If I will be able to get back up again. 

Dear brother how could my life just get turned upside down I loved this man I truly loved this man. How could he have hurt me this badly. 

Dear brother there are nights that I just fall to the floor crying from all the heartache, from all the pain in my heart. I have the scars across my heart and they will always be there. There are nights that I cry my self to sleep .

Dear brother I know my life is a wreck right now, Dear brother I know your an angel watching over me , Dear brother I just need to trust that you will guide me through it all.

Dear brother so I ask you please show me the way. Dear brother help me find my way again, Dear brother help me rise to the top again. 

Dear Soon to be ex you told me I wasn’t pretty enough, You told me I was ugly . For eight years I heard the nasty remarks the constant nasty remarks . 

I heard the hurtful words out of your mouth, from your too fat, I don’t like your stretchmarks to many many more nasty words after that. Finally the words sunk in my head and that’s all I thought about myself, there were days I didn’t want to go out , there are days I just wanted to stay in bed and I kept saying what’s the point who would want to see me. 

Month after month that’s all I believed about myself, that’s what I thought because that’s all I ever heard. 

Finally enough was enough I looked in the mirror one day and realized I let this man hurt me, I let him destroy my self confidence, I let him bully me, I let him be nasty towards me.   

I couldn’t let that happen any more, dear soon to be ex one day your going to realize what you truly lost. Dear soon to be ex you screwed up you had a wonderful woman who you took for granted everyday.  

Dear soon to be ex guess what I am beautiful, I am pretty, I am smart. Dear soon to be ex there are people who love me,there are people who think I am wonderful. Dear soon to be ex guess what I won’t let you hurt me anymore. 

Dear soon to be ex you lost me. 

I may only be 4″11 , I may have freckles,, yes I weigh 123 , Yes I am short. But I can tell you this over and over again I am pretty I am beautiful.  

I just want all you ladies to know that you are all pretty, you are all beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you that your not because you are!

Some of the best christmas gifts for your man. We all wonder what to give your better half during the holidays sometimes we get stuck but I am here to help you out.

1.) Hockey Tickets

2.) Concert Tickets

3.) Video Games

4.) Beer supplies

5.) Create him a man cave

6.) Re-create your love for when you first met

7.) Take him on an adventure , a night away skiing ,  lodge  etc.

8.) Re- create memories with photos – do a collage of pictures

SCHEDULE A COUPLE’S SPA OUTING

Say it with me….*breathes deep*…saunas. Relish the chance to spend some relaxing quality time together with a couple’s massage followed by some steamy sauna time. Nothing will feel better in the dead of winter.

TAKE A SLEIGH RIDE

A truly picturesque date night scene that’ll remind you of the Christmas song “Sleigh Ride” (clip-clops and all), when you’re both bundled up and explored the city in a horse-drawn carriage.

SEE A BALLET

Winter is peak ballet season so it’s the best time to nab yourselves tickets to The Nutcracker or Swan Lake. It’s a perfect excuse to get out and dress up, and the people-watching opportunities will make for unusual conversation fodder. If your date’s not so into tutus and tights, look into theater or opera dates.

GO ICE SKATING

Ice skating and hot cocoa practically scream *winter date.* Plus, we can’t wait to plan a super cute outfit around skates.

ICE SCULPTURE SHOWS

Guys, ice sculpture shows are totally a thing.  Go to one. Don’t ask questions—you’ll be seriously amazed by the creations and can maybe convince someone to carve you into a bust. Christmas party decorations, anyone?

GO SLEDDING

Grab a sled from your garage  head to a snowy hill, and prepare for an adorable day date. P.S. This idea is great for group dates. P.P.S. If you actually live by a snow resort, forget this idea and grab some skis.

MAKE SOME FIREPLACE S’MORES

It may feel a little junior, but who can resist the temptation of half-scorched marshmallows? Take advantage of the cooler weather and get the fireplace (or outdoor grill) going, rip open a bag of marshmallows, and pair your fresh s’mores with some Irish coffee (mmmm).

NETFLIX AND STAY WARM

You can each pick one of your more favorite television shows or scary movies, snuggle up under a blanket, and chill on your own terms.

CHUCK SOME SNOWBALLS

If you two are a couple with some issues to sort out, this could be quite therapeutic. If you’re trying to leave your anger issues out of it, make this “fight” a cute turf war.

So I feel like everyone has thought about the mile high club right? Okay well I will go first I most certainly have. But let me give you Five reasons why everyone should have this on their bucket list. 

1. The idea of flight is arousing in itself

2. You get to count yourself part of a brave minority

3. The view is badass

4. The bragging rights are unparalleled

5. It’s our duty to toast important historical figures

That being said I think everyone should do something spontaneous with their lover what better way to do that than the mile high club. I personally have this on my bucket list ! After all you only live once.

My take on cheating, Honestly from my view it's horrible and disgusting. I don't understand why people do it if you are with someone why cheat if that person is devoted to you why do it. Cheating period is just wrong ! My 10 reasons why you should not stay with a cheater!

1. You will forever be worrying about it happening again

2.)Taking him back is just taking the easy option

3. Things can only go downhill from here

4. You could be risking your health

5. He’ll never respect you again

6. You can do better than this

7. Cheating is just a symptom, not the illness

If he cheated on you, then something is either very wrong with him or very wrong with the relationship. If someone really loves another person, then they could no more cheat on them than they could physically harm them. You just don’t do that to someone you love.

8. Would he have forgiven you, if the tables were turned?

It is often the case with cheaters, that they themselves, would hate it, if they were the ones being be cheated on. It’s a double standard that you shouldn’t be putting up with.

9. You lose your own self-respect

10. The relationship will never be the same again

My take on blaming your period /PMS five things that men need to understand about women's hormones, yes it's okay to blame your period/PMS. 

1.) Estrogen Is Not The Only Culprit

Too many times, estrogen is the hormone to blame for a woman’s mood swings, hot flashes and sappy temperament. However, did you know that there are other hormones that should be held responsible in addition to estrogen?

2.) No Two Hormonal Women are Alike

When dating woman, it’s key to understand the following concept: While all women have the same hormones, the levels of these hormones fluctuate. They are never identical in two different women.

3.) All Menstrual Cycles are Different Too

The typical menstrual cycle should last around 28 days. However, if you have a woman in your life, then you know that this cycle is not as regulated and rigid as it implies. Wouldn’t it be nice if a woman had her period exactly every 28 days?There would be no such thing as pregnancy scares or having to run out and buy tampons in the middle of the night. Unfortunately though, the perfect 28-day menstruation cycle is rare. Some women have significantly longer periods, while others experience very laconic, short menstruation cycles.

4.)Hormones: Men have them too

Just like women have certain levels of testosterone, men have female sex hormones, too. All men have varying levels of estrogen in their bodies.

5.)  PMS Can Be a Big Deal

PMS is known to bring about an array of uncomfortable symptoms such as stomach cramps, headaches, food cravings and backaches. 

Some of my favorite holiday drinking games Include:

1. Pissed Presents

Take a drink every time –

Someone doesn’t really understand the gift.

An exchange is clearly unequal.

Someone suggests keeping the wrapping paper.

Someone fakes liking a gift.

Someone asks for a receipt.

Someone doesn’t bother to hide the fact they hate their gift.

2. Kris Kringle

Sit in a circle and taking turns saying “Kris Kringle???. If anybody in the circle messes up their go in any way, they must drink. 

You can also say “Christmas Drinks??? which reverses the direction of play. If anybody pauses or speaks out of turn, they must drink. 

You have a maximum of three “Christmas Drinks??? allocated in a row – after that you must down your drink.

3. Jingle Shots

Line up the shot glasses in a circle on the table and fill them up with any liquor you want. (Each person gets 1 shot glass)

The first person must start singing their favorite Christmas song and stop after the first line. The second person sings the next line, and so on.

If someone does not know their line, messes it up, takes too long of a pause, or does not attempt to sing on key, they must take a shot!

The next person then has to sing the line that the previous one forgot, and it continues! Keep re-filling the shots and trying it with different Christmas songs.

4. “Home Alone” Drinking Game

Any character insults or threatens Kevin

Any character speaks or attempts to speak French

Any character says pizza, Paris, or polka

Any character gets hurt

Kevin screams, talks to himself, or insults someone

5. Merry Public Drunkenness 

You and your friend will take a flask to the mall or some other public, people-filled place during the Christmas season.

Every time that someone says “Merry Christmas??? you take a shot.

Every time someone says “Happy Holidays??? your friend takes a shot.

1.)  If you stay home, you won't get trampled

2.) You won't get shot, stabbed or maced over a TV, either.

3.) You won't make retail employees' lives hell.

4.) Buying stuff online is better.

5.) Surprisingly, the deals are actually not good.

6.) It's Dangerous

7.) Shopping rage Isn't worth It

8.) Cyber Monday Is always better

9.) Retail workers lose their Thanksgiving

10.) It makes us crazy rather than thankful

11.) Black Friday is the offspring of chaos and madness

12.) There are deals year-round

14.) Stores offer the same sales online

15.) This one day a year is the shopping equivalent to the Purge.
