Here's another guest post in response to our call for "worst breakup" stories. This writer - who chose to remain anonymous - was hesitant to include the 4th paragraph, but I told her I thought it was a very powerful, healing part of the story! Check it out for yourself. I was so mesmerized by ... Read More
This astonishingly powerful guest post comes to us from Nicole Ditz (www.holisticdepththerapy.com), who sent it in response to my invitation for readers to send their worst breakup stories. When I asked if we could publish it, anonymously or with attribution, Nicole wrote back, "Ruth, please do post ... Read More
It was April 2000. With the woman I’d been madly in love with since the previous summer – a woman I’d literally wanted since the first moment I saw her. (That had never happened to me before.)

Still, that night eight years ago, for some reason I couldn’t explain, I clicked on them. When I entered the key word “spiritual,” it ... Read More
One of the first things people notice about us when they see our picture, when they get past the fact that we're both women, is that we're an interracial couple.

Dear Conscious Girlfriend, My last three relationships all lasted less than a year. I thought my most recent ex was “the one,” but three months in, she stopped wanting to have sex with me! I know sex dies out after awhile, but three months?! Plus she didn’t work out much, she ate a lot of junk ... Read More
