Hi Margaret Ruth

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

This is an excerpt from Superconscious Relationships: The Simple Psychic Truths, written by me (If you are in the SLC area, you can also pick it up such as the county library and at Golden Braid Bookstore). In the book, we talk about the three things to do in authentic, rewarding relationships. Here is the beginning of the chapter that discusses Thing 1. - MR

Hi Margaret Ruth, I just wanted to let you know that I really respect you and your work. Do you have anything on dealing with heartbreak when a relationship with mutual love breaks up for other reasons? I'm really in a low spot right now and any words would be helpful. I've been through this enough to know it's just as immediate and painful each time, but that there really is an end in sight, however things end up going.

Here's my question Margaret Ruth. I had a weird experience this week. I met a man and just had this intense feeling that we were going to fall in love. It was so intense that I spent a week convincing myself of the fact. During that week, he fell in love with someone else. Do you think I had psychically read that this was going to happen to him and interpreted it as involving me?

I have been getting a fair amount of questions lately that concern the issue of self worth. Actually, the main questions I’ve been getting are such things as: Why can’t I get what I want?  Why do I only get parts of what I want?  For many, the source issue is a lack of perfect self acceptance, and that is why I think of these as self worth problems.

Someone posted this comment to my article on Huffington Post last week. I’m pretty sure it was a spam designed to promote a self-published tome. What got my interest though is how much of the following was not only illogical and unhealthy, but also metaphysically incorrect. It always makes me sad to consider how widespread the bad assumptions about love relationships are.

What level of silliness-attainment should be awarded to this following?

Valentines Day in the USA is traditionally a day to celebrate romantic attachments. But for some people it is happier to find alternative ways to celebrate the day of hearts and flowers. Here are just a few ideas to honor the feeling of love in your life without making the day a romantic occasion.

You usually answer relationship questions without breaking down specific recommendations for male/male, female/female or female/male combinations. I think it would be interesting to see how advice might be different for these. What do you think about doing that sometimes? – C I think I would be very interested in seeing that too, and I am smiling as I type that. One reason for my interest is that I am gender stupid. I mean it. I can read personality really, really well (am damn accurate is what I am saying), but cannot usually tell the gender.
