A mother’s love is definitely infinite. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do for her children. Then 53-year old Cindy Reutzel gave her daughter Emily probably the greatest gift a mother can give to her daughter.
Three years ago, Emily Jordan was devastated when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer at a young age of 29, the doctors advised her to have a radical hysterectomy, which crushed her and husband Mike’s hopes of having a baby. What’s even worse is that before surgery, her doctor delivered more devastating news: Emily was pregnant. The couple had to make a painful decision and went ahead with the surgery in order to save Emily’s life.

“I can’t describe what that was like after finding out you have cancer, after finding out your chance of ever carrying a baby is gone,” Emily said.

Emily’s mother, Cindy, was as devastated as the couple. She wanted to do everything to help her infertile daughter become a parent. She made an unusual proposition: She wants to be a surrogate mom and carry the couple’s child.

At first, the couple didn’t take it seriously. Cindy was already in her 50s, so they were skeptical about the chances of her pulling it off. But she was determined to help, so she went through hormonal manipulation and psychological evaluation to prepare her body for pregnancy. The fertilization specialist, Dr. Helen Kim, implanted an embryo produced by Emily’s egg and Mike’s sperm into Cindy’s uterus.

  What Do You think?

Below are five statements that are more likely to cause more harm to your relationship;

Every couple have arguments and misunderstandings. However, this is one thing that brings them closer; but if handled wrongly, it could put an end to a relationship. It is important to fight fair and communicate your feelings effectively instead of just lashing out.

1. “You Always” or “You Never”: You might feel the urge to say something like, “you never respect me” or “You always choose your friends over me,” during a fight when trying to make your point. But this will only end up making your partner aggressive and you will be unable to get the reaction you were hoping for.

2. “It’s over”: No matter how hurt or angry you are, you never end a relationship in the middle of an argument because chances are, you do not really mean this. Throwing words like “divorce” or “break up” like it is nothing is certainly not the way to go.
Ending a relationship takes careful consideration and discussion. And if you are used to throwing those words around when you do not mean them, you will be left shell-shocked if, one day, you partner takes you at your words and walks out.

3. “Can’t you be more like..”: No one likes to be compared to other people. It does not matter if you are trying to make a point. Saying things like “Why can’t you be more like my friend’s wife/husband..” will not go down well with your partner.

If there is a character trait you need him/her to work on, just express that to them instead of using someone else as an example. Nobody is perfect. You chose your partner for who they are so it is hurtful when it sounds like you are wishing they were someone else.

4. “I do not want to talk about this anymore”: Walking out on a fight or just abruptly shutting your partner down while in the middle of an argument or discussion will only serve to hurt them more. If you must postpone the conversation, do it in such a way that you both come to the agreement to discuss some other time.

5. “I’m sorry, but…”: If you are going to apologize about something, do it wholeheartedly and completely. Do not do cancel it out by attaching condition to it, like saying “I apologize but you really should not speak to me that way”. This will only extend the argument.
After apologizing, gently let your partner know if they have done something to make you feel bad. This way, they also get the chance to completely apologize and everything is right with your relationship again.

Have you been worried because she's playing hard to get? You shouldn't be worried anymore. Just accept it because evolution has put women at the considerable advantage in a way that they won’t have a problem getting partners.

Sometimes it can be difficult to spot the signs that your relationship is over. Maybe things aren't as good as they used to be. Perhaps one of you has been unhappy recently and you can't figure out why. Here are 10 signs that your relationship is over.

1. Who Are You?
When you first started dating, there was no subject that was off-limits. You and your man could talk all day and all night long. He was your best friend and the person you called multiple times a day. Now, trying to have a conversation with him is worse than having your teeth pulled.

2. Bye Bye Sex
Has your man lost interest in sex... with you? You put on your sexiest lingerie, but just he isn't interested. Does he tell you that he's not in the mood or that he's tired or had a long day? If you can't remember the last time you got busy between the sheets, you're about to embark on a really long dry spell, which is one of the main signs that your relationship is over.

3. Orgasm Who?
When the relationship was just beginning, you were having orgasms around the clock. They were so frequent that you thought life couldn't get any better. You were literally in sex heaven. Now, you don't remember the last time you had one. An orgasm is a woman's way of connecting with her man. If there's no orgasm, there's no connection. Realize it might be time to say goodbye to your relationship.

4. Call Me!
The roles have reversed. In the beginning he used to call you, text you and send you cute love notes all the time. Now, you're the one constantly calling him. What happened? His heart just isn't in the relationship anymore.

5. Shower Time
Has your man been taking really long showers? He's in there for a while and you wonder what he could possibly be doing? If his long shower time has become a routine, he's probably not just rinsing off...

6. Where'd The Fun Go?
When you first met, your boyfriend was Mr. Romantic. He loved surprising you with home-cooked dinner nights and incredible vacations. Now, trying to get him to take you on a date is practically impossible.

7. Hey, Friends
Have you been spending a lot of extra time with your friends? Is your man busy that you haven't seen him in weeks? Red flag.

8. Work, Work, Work
Is your boyfriend turning into a workaholic? He always spent a lot of time at the office, but now he seems to have work events every other night. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds like he's avoiding you.

9. Forget Me Not
Does he seem really absent-minded these days? Does he forget all special occasions like holidays and anniversaries? Perhaps he's trying to send you little subconscious hints that he doesn't want to be in the relationship anymore.

10. World War III
Does it feel like you're fighting a war in your personal life? If you and your partner are always at each other's throats, something is clearly wrong. It's common for couples to fight. If they didn't, make-up sex wouldn't be as much fun as it is. But there's a fine line between healthy fighting and fighting incessantly with no resolution.

If your life sounds anything like this article, it's time to make a change. You're too good to settle for anything but the best.

I received an email on Divorced Girl smiling from a reader stating that she "only attracts damaged men."

I had to wonder, 'What does 'damaged' mean? I have to assume that to my reader, "damaged" means divorced or someone who has most likely suffered a bad breakup, only because why else would she be reaching out to DIVORCED Girl Smiling?

What would make her refer to these men as damaged? I'm thinking it's most likely because the exhibit behavior that makes it difficult to sustain a healthy romantic relationship. Possibilities that come to mind include substance abuse, cheating, emotional abuse, depression, bitterness, and fear of commitment. Kind of makes sense, right?

So, I started to think, why would she (or any woman) attract damaged men? By the way, this all applies to women, as well. In other words, women can be damaged, too.

Here are six potential reasons why you might be attracting damaged men (or women):

1. Low self-esteem. In my opinion, people with low self-esteem, who don't think they can attract someone better than a person exhibiting these bad behaviors tend to go after damaged men (or women.)

2. You don't want to be alone. Some people can't stand not being in a relationship. They view being single as lonely and sad. (Which is my theory for people who rush into second marriages). And so, they settle for someone they know isn't right, because in their mind, it's better than not having someone.


3. You don't like or love yourself. A lack of self-love almost always leads to people dating men (or women) who aren't right for them. Maybe they are even punishing themselves by going after people who don't treat them well or make them happy.

4. You subconsciously don't want to be involved with anyone. People who don't want to be in a relationship will often go after men (or women) they know they aren't ending up with because it's safe. Maybe they get involved with someone who is much younger or much older, or someone just out of a long-term relationship, or someone of a different cultural background, because it's safe. Or, they attract a big drinker, and they continue to date him for a long time because in their mind, they are saying "this guy is great to date, but I would never marry someone who drinks this much." So, if there's no way it's going to turn into a marriage, and in their mind, they don't want marriage, that works out perfectly.

5. Isn't every man (and woman) damaged in a way? I'll come right out and say it. I'm damaged. That doesn't make me a bad person, or a person who can't have a successful relationship in the future. But let's call a spade a spade. A divorced person (and really, anyone who is older and who has lived a life) is in a way, damaged.

Dear Abby: I just read in another advice column that a 17-year-old boy got his girlfriend pregnant accidentally-and they were both virgins. They didn't actually go all the way, but he got the girl pregnant just from "fooling around." Can this be true? San Diego Reader Dear Reader: Yes, it is true. Here's an excerpt from my booklet "What Every Teen Should Know," written several years ago:

How to Get Pregnant One of the questions I have been asked often by teens is: "How far can I go without getting pregnant?" That is not a dumb question. It's a very intelligent one. A lot of kids get aroused by just lying close to each other while kissing. Then they just naturally proceed to the next step, which is petting.

Sometimes they remove some of their clothing because it's "in the way," or they burrow underneath it to explore each other's bodies with their hands. This is known as heavy petting, or "doing everything else but." The technical (and legal) definition of sexual intercourse is "penetration." (The male's sex organ must penetrate the female's.) However, as impossible as it may sound, in the medical literature can be found cases where there has been no penetration-the girl remained a virgin but, after engaging in heavy petting, she found herself pregnant.

 How can that be? Simple.

The boy and girl were lying very close to each other (unclothed), "doing everything but," when a small amount of sperm leaked out . . . near (not inside, but very close to) the girl's vagina. The sperm got into the moisture around the vagina and found its way up into it, and fertilized the egg!

So it actually possible to get pregnant without sex.

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.” -~Sam Keen

Before I married my wonderful husband, I dated a lot of men. For most of my 20s (and even my early 30s) I had a perfect fairy-ideal of what romantic love was, probably because I was an actress and loved drama back then.

It took years for me to realize a relationship is not a romance movie.

At some point in our lives, we may believe that love should be like the kind of romance we see portrayed in films, television, and novels.

For some reason, I always thought my romantic relationships were less if I did not experience this kind of fairy-tale relationship. Maybe this is why I kept meeting frogs.

At times, I bought into the belief that if I had a relationship with the perfect prince, then all would be well in my life. I thought, Now, I will be safe forever.

In truth, I did marry a prince—but a prince who is also human, who has faults and issues just like every person, no matter how wonderful he is.

At some point I grew up and learned to let go of the crazy metaphor of romantic love in order to find true happiness. Yes, I was disappointed to realize that the knight riding through the night to save the damsel in distress is a fallacy. It’s a bummer.

But, let’s look at it in this light: We all saw Romeo and Juliet and Titanic. Why stories like these make our hearts sing is that the love is unrequited. Unavailability fuels the romantic expression.

This kind of romantic story can only work when there is an absence of the lover. Sometimes, they have to die in the end in order for their love to fit into this romantic view. Or, we eat handfuls of popcorn, waiting to see if they live happily ever after, and we rarely find out if they really do.

The romantic love fantasy is really a substitute for intimacy—real, connected, vulnerable intimacy.

So then, how do we make relationships work and stay happy?

We begin with the understanding of what pure love is, and then redefine and update the romantic fairytale into a healthier type of love.

Here are 10 ways to create true intimacy, find pure love, and be truly happy in your relationship:
1. Use relationships to teach you how to be whole within.

Relationships aren’t about having another person complete you, but coming to the relationship whole and sharing your life interdependently. By letting go of the romantic ideal of merging and becoming “one,” you learn as Rainer Maria Rilke says, to love the distances in relationship as much as the togetherness.
2. See your partner for who he or she really is.

The romantic tragedy occurs when you view the person you are in love with as a symbol of what they have come to represent, the idea of them. When you realize that more often than not you don’t really know your partner, you begin to discover who they are and how they change and evolve.
3. Be willing to learn from each other.

The key is to see the other as a mirror and learn from the reflection how you can be a better person. When you feel upset, rather than blame your partner and point fingers, remain awake to what has yet to be healed in yourself.
4. Get comfortable being alone.

In order to accept that love can’t rescue you from being alone, learn to spend time being with yourself. By feeling safe and secure to be on your own within the framework of relationship, you will feel more complete, happy, and whole.
5. Look closely at why a fight may begin.

Some couples create separateness by fighting and then making up over and over again. This allows you to continue the romantic trance, creating drama and avoiding real intimacy. If you become aware of what you fear about intimacy, you’ll have a better sense of why you’re fighting—and likely will fight far less.
6. Own who you are.

We generally grasp at romantic love because we’re yearning for something that is out of reach, something in another person that we don’t think we possess in ourselves. Unfortunately, when we finally get love, we discover that we didn’t get what we were looking for.

True love only exists by loving yourself first. You can only get from another person what you’re willing to give yourself.
7. Embrace ordinariness.

After the fairy-dust start of a relationship ends, we discover ordinariness, and we often do everything we can to avoid it. The trick is to see that ordinariness can become the real “juice” of intimacy. The day-to-day loveliness of sharing life with a partner can, and does, become extraordinary.
8. Expand your heart.

One thing that unites us is that we all long to be happy. This happiness usually includes the desire to be close to someone in a loving way. To create real intimacy, get in touch with the spaciousness of your heart and bring awareness to what is good within you.

It’s easier to recognize the good in your partner when you’re connected to the good in yourself.
9. Focus on giving love.

Genuine happiness is not about feeling good about ourselves because other people love us; it’s more about how well we have loved ourselves and others. The unintentional outcome of loving others more deeply is that we are loved more deeply.
10. Let go of expectations.

You may look to things such as romance and constant togetherness to fill a void in yourself. This will immediately cause suffering. If you unconsciously expect to receive love in certain ways to avoid giving that love to yourself, you will put your sense of security in someone else.

Draw upon your own inner-resources to offer love, attention, and nurturance to yourself when you need it. Then you can let love come to you instead of putting expectations on what it needs to look like.

These are only a few ways to explore real intimacy. How do you create a loving connection in your relationship?
