The Best and First Dating Decision

Submitted by Margaret Ruth on Thu, 2011-03-31 09:26

Hi Margaret Ruth,

I've been wanting to talk for a while now. I was dating this girl for 3 weeks. She already has 4 kids. I have 2 kids. She says she wants 1 more within the next year and a half. I really like her a lot, but a total of 7 children is just way too many in my opinion. Any advice? - Doug

It Takes Two Healthy Joyful Whole People to Make One Healthy Joyful Whole Relationship

There is an American myth that two halves can come together in a loving relationship and become whole. However, contrary to cultural myths, close intimate relationships are not additive, where one half plus one half equals one. Close relationships are actually multiplicative. It is the whole Jerry McQuire myth problem: “You Complete Me!” This is all utter nonsense.

Margaret,

I was just reading your blog about self-awareness and communication. Are there some more specific "homework" type things I can do? I need a lot of work. I have been in counseling for awhile and feel stuck. I am hoping to come get a couples reading sometime! I love reading your posts. You have an excellent way of explaining things! Thanks for your info!

Happy, Healthy and Smoke Pot?

Margaret Ruth answers a reader's question. Can one be a happy healthy person even if that person loves to smoke marijuana? Let's say this person feels very happy and healthy, is a productive member of society, doesn't hurt anyone in the process, and is uber responsible and smart about said use? I know that is (probably) a very funny question for you. But I really want to know what you think. Thanks in advance! Yikes – what an interesting question. I personally do not advise smoking marijuana. For one thing, it isn’t legal. So, there’s that good reason to avoid it.

By Margaret Ruth www.margaretruth.com Experience from my professional psychic practice, spanning thousands of client interviews, and being Radio From Hell’s Love Psychic, live every Friday morning these last seven years, has led me to become quite snippy over the amount of ludicrous relationship mythology that continues to operate in our culture.
