10 Guys Reveal Why They Wanted To Get Married

1. I wanted the commitment. It has made me feel closer to my wife. We feel more like a unit.

Before we married we lived together for seven years. I wanted to get married two years in, she declined. She changed her mind at year six. Absolutely the right decision. It makes things like career sacrifices easier when you have that level of commitment. Make things like buying a house, having children, etc. just a bit easier. I know if I get sick she has rights. We’ll be married 29 years tomorrow.

It happens when someone continues investing in something, even though it no longer makes sense or brings benefits, simply because they have already invested so much.

#1 Mistake People Make When Building A Habit

The #1 mistake people do when they start building a habit is relying too much on willpower. They believe that building a healthy habit like daily exercising, is only possible if you go hard and you push yourself everyday to show up and be disciplined.

While this plan might work for people who have trained and grown their willpower muscle to above average size (think: really fit and healthy people, who just keep on getting healthier), it won’t work for majority of us, because of a single reason that willpower is finite resource and if we ask more than it can handle – we’ll quit.

4 People Reveal What Borderline Personality Disorder Is Like

borderline personality disorder

1. Borderline Personality Disorder isn’t being cute and ‘clingy’ and ‘adorably needy’. Being with (romantic or otherwise) someone with BPD isn’t akin to taking care of a pet. BPD isn’t an ‘aw it’s so endearing that they need me so badly’ type of thing.

BPD is a mental illness that is a conglomeration of several different tendencies and it’s not easy to diagnose. You don’t just decide you have it, just like you don’t decide you’re depressed because you had a bad day, or you don’t decide you’re bipolar because your mood changes quickly sometimes. Believe me, you don’t want it.

Confessions

Confession of the Day

I’m 30 and my little brother is 24. He’s honestly the best brother I could have asked for. I still remember the day he was born and holding my newborn baby brother when I was a kid. As we grew up I always knew he was different but he’s my brother and I love him and I wouldn’t change him. He’s honestly one of my best friends and having a brother with downs syndrome, especially one like him has made me a better person.
