Having a baby is a disaster for your career. I don't think there's any sympathy.

We invest less in our friendships and expect more of friends than any other relationship. We spend days working out where to book for a romantic dinner, weeks wondering how to celebrate a partner or parent's birthday, and seconds forgetting a friend's important anniversary.

Since so many romantic comedies vary little in their storyline, the success or failure of such movies depends largely on whether we believe in the relationship of the protagonists.

Far too many girls' and women's romantic relationships are formed around a negation of their own worth and attributes rather than a confirmation of them.

Like cars, every relationship requires a bit of an occasional service, and fine-tuning should be compulsory.

As a species, we tend to be doers, forever shaping and reshaping the world to better suit our purposes.
