Forget the past, as the present is awesome
Remember, everyone has a past, and it's very normal to change priorities with time. Don't let the past dictate the future. And if you are worried that your partner will go back to the ex, try and make the relationship work. Use it as a lesson to improve your relationship, than a tool to spoil to it.Scientists have claimed that sex and having good communication can have a significant influence on relationships but factors like knowing partner's favourite pizza topping, being employed and ability to support yourself also matter.
Scientists tested 2,201 participants, head to head, in seven "relationship competencies" that previous researchers had found to vital for promoting happiness in romantic relationships.
The researchers' idea was to rank them in order of vitality to start building data on the aspects of relationships most important to keep them healthy.
The researchers, in addition to communication and conflict resolution, also looked out for love-making or romance, stress management, life skills, knowledge of partners and self-management to find the best predictors of relationship satisfaction.
Couples were queried about their competency in these areas and then asked how satisfied they were in their relationships; the researchers then correlated each partner's strengths and weaknesses in each area with the relationship satisfaction of the person.
Couple, reporting communicating effectively, showed highest satisfaction with their relationships.
Study's lead author Robert Epstein, a professor of psychology at the University of the South Pacific, in Fiji, said that learning more about partner is also important for a successful relationship, Time Magazine reported.
He added that even more important was to know critical things like whether partner wants kids.
An adult confessions website has found that people don't regret one-night stands.
The new website aims to chronicle our hook-up culture by allowing people to anonymously share their stories.
The Casual Sex Project gives people a platform to tell honest and candid stories of their one-night stands.
Creator Dr Zhana Vrangalova, a sex researcher and NYU instructor, claims the project has shown that not all random hook-ups are remembered in a negative way, Metro.co.uk reported.
Speaking to Nerve she said that so far, most people have shared hookup stories they don't regret at all.
A new research has found that young teens who send 'sex texts' are 6 times more likely to be sexually active and talk about it.
USC researchers, who defined 'sext' in their survey as a sexually suggestive text or photo, have provided a new understanding of the relationship between "sexting" and sexual behavior in early adolescence, contributing to an ongoing national conversation about whether sexually explicit text messaging is a risk behavior or just a technologically-enabled extension of normal teenage flirtation.
The researchers were particularly interested in young teens, as past data had shown clear links between early sexual debut and risky sexual behavior, including teenage pregnancy, sex under the influence of drugs or alcohol, experience of forced sex and higher risk of sexually transmitted disease.
Assistant professor and lead author Eric Rice said that the findings call attention to the need to train health educators, pediatricians and parents on how best to communicate with young adolescents about sexting in relation to sexual behavior. The sexting conversation should occur as soon as the child acquires a cell phone.
The study anonymously sampled more than 1,300 middle school students in Los Angeles, aged from 10-15, as part of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The researchers found that even when controlling for sexting behaviors, young teens who sent more than 100 texts a day were more likely to report being sexually active.
It was also found that students who identified as LGBTQ were 9 times more likely to have sent a sext. However, unlike past research on high school students, LGBTQ young adolescents were not more likely to be sexually active.
Overall, 20 percent of students with text-capable cell phones said they had ever received a sext, and 5 percent report sending a sext, and Rice said that as per their results, excessive, unlimited or unmonitored texting seems to enable sexting.
'Losing virginity at 12 was nice'
Don Johnson says losing his virginity at 12 years old was ''nice''.
The 65-year-old actor slept with his babysitter, who was 16, when he was young and though he isn't especially proud of having sex so young, he doesn't regret his first time.
He said: ''I don't wear it as a badge of honour, but she was a very lovely 16-year-old girl and we were both young, both experimenting successfully. And it was nice.''
The 'Cold in July' actor also admitted during his periods of excess in the 1980s he used to ''have a lot of fun'' with huge groups of models.
He told The Times newspaper: ''There were five modelling agencies in Miami, and I would invite five models from each agency and three or four male friends. And, um... We had a lot of fun.''
And the former 'Miami Vice' actor was stunned when he was first invited to ''super exclusive'' parties in Florida - and found state officials carried ''better'' drugs than he did.
Don - who is now sober - said: ''There were politicians, state senators, drug dealers, police and the best-looking hookers in the business.
''And at first I was like, 'Oh, so everybody knows everybody?' For years I'd been concerned about carrying drugs around, and all these motherf*****s, police included, are carrying drugs around? And their drugs are better than mine? Hahahaha.''
It's just been about seven months, and you feel you've known your partner forever. You bond like never before, and the relationship is the best thing you guys have.
Your partner is happy to be with you
Firstly, your partner doesn't hide your relationship from the world, he/she holds your hand in public or even gives a peck on your cheek. He/she does these little things to make you feel special and makes the effort to make the relationship work.
Causes a rift in the relationship
Obsessing over your partner's ex will simply drive you crazy and lead to insecurities. This will not just harm your mental and physical health, but also your work, family and most importantly, your relationship. It will create unnecessary differences, which will keep aggravating if you do not stop discussing the ex. Remember that your partner wouldn't like to bring up this subject, unless you want to talk about them.
Nothing is hidden
You know the details of their past relationship — from the time they started dating to the reasons why they ended it. Of course, they might bump into each other since it's a small world, and chat casually about life, jobs, etc. And you are in the know of those meetings as well, so that you do not have an ounce of doubt about his/her intentions. In fact, he/she always, honestly answers everything you question about the ex, just to keep your relationship sailing. Do you still need to fret?
