Are you the mistress or lover of someone who is already married or in a committed relationship? Is this something that suits your needs, or have you been waiting around for years for your lover to leave their spouse/partner? You need to be honest with yourself about the reasons you have chosen the life you have. Choosing to be with a married person often stems from unmet emotional needs, attraction to the forbidden, or the illusion of intimacy without full commitment. Some are drawn to the secrecy and intensity, while others hope the person will eventually leave their spouse. Often, it reflects deeper struggles with self-worth, boundaries, or avoidance of vulnerability.

Are you having, or contemplating having, an affair? Or maybe, you've discovered that your partner or spouse is cheating on you. Affairs are not uncommon, but the reasons are often not always what they seem. We have affairs for complex reasons—seeking emotional connection, excitement, or validation that is missing in our primary relationship. Curiosity, unmet needs, resentment, or escape from conflict can drive infidelity. Sometimes it's about opportunity, ego, or thrill rather than love. Affairs often reveal deeper relationship fractures or personal struggles rather than simply impulsive betrayal.

Did you follow the Coldplay Concert's Kiss-Cam Scandal? Do you feel the cheating couple deserved the public shaming and condemnation they received? In the words of Kat Rosenfield, "When we take joy in the distress and ruination of other people, we make monsters of ourselves." People may enjoy publicly shaming others because it offers a sense of moral superiority and a sense of belonging to a group. It can provide an outlet for anger, deflect attention from personal flaws, and create quick social validation through likes or applause. The rush of outrage can be intoxicating, making judgment feel justified, even when it's harmful.

Does someone you know make you feel you are going crazy by telling you what you think, feel, or see isn't true? If so, you are most probably being gaslighted. Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic that makes someone doubt their reality, memories, or feelings. It erodes self-trust and fosters confusion, anxiety, and dependence on the gaslighter. Often subtle and gradual, gaslighting can deeply damage self-esteem and emotional well-being. Recognizing it is the first step toward reclaiming clarity, confidence, and healthy boundaries in relationships.

Are you an adult who only sees your parents through the lens of a child? Do you sometimes forget that your mother and father are more than just your parents, but individuals who have a self beyond their role as a parent? Our parents are more than just caregivers—they are complex individuals with dreams, flaws, and histories that existed long before we were born. Recognizing their humanity fosters empathy and a deeper connection. When we see them as full people, not just “Mom” or “Dad,” we gain perspective, understanding, and the chance to build a more authentic, adult relationship with them.

Do you feel pressured to have sex when you don't want to? Is someone coercing you into a sexual relationship through threats, manipulation, or emotional blackmail? Are you being sexually abused? Coercive sexual relationships involve pressure, manipulation, or control to gain sexual compliance without genuine consent. They often include guilt-tripping, threats, emotional blackmail, or exploiting power imbalances. Unlike healthy intimacy, coercion disregards boundaries and autonomy, leading to emotional harm and mistrust. True consent must be freely given, without fear, force, or manipulation of any kind.

Have you raised your children and are now considering getting married for a second time, but are worried about the logistics of where to live or how to blend your grown families? Blending families later in life brings unique challenges—adult children may resist new dynamics, inheritance concerns can spark tension, and differing traditions or loyalties may create emotional friction. Partners must navigate established routines, conflicting expectations, and shared responsibilities. Open communication, mutual respect, and patience are essential to building trust and creating a harmonious environment that honors both past and present.
