In a healthy and respectful relationship, it is important to approach each other as equals, valuing individual autonomy and personal growth. Treating someone as trainable can be offensive, as it implies a dynamic of control or manipulation.

In the early 1980s, Frans de Waal, a primatologist who studies the interactions of chimpanzees, published “Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex Among Apes.” In the book, he drew parallels between the human and chimp societies. Biologists already used terms like alpha and beta to describe male types in the animal kingdom, but before de Wall, they had never been applied to humans.At first, anthropologists and psychologists differentiated between alpha and beta males, but soon a whole hierarchy of male personality types became defined, and the socio-sexual order was born. At present, the hierarchy consists of six or seven personality types.From Alpha to Omega: Alpha Male.Beta Male.Gamma Male.Delta Male.Zeta Male.Sigma Male.Omega Male.Support the show

At first, the term “Savior Complex” may have a positive connotation. However, when you learn more about it and the underlying motivations and impact on others, it is clear that this behavior pattern can be problematic.

Social media can have a significant impact on relationships, and it's not always a positive one. In some cases, social media can be the cause of a breakup. With easy access to other people's profiles and messaging platforms, it's easy for individuals to engage in behaviors that can lead to distrust, jealousy, and ultimately the end of a relationship. For example, liking or commenting on an ex's post, constantly messaging someone of the opposite sex, or even hiding messages from a partner can all create tensions that can eventually lead to a breakup. Social media has made it easier to connect with people, but it's also made it easier to cross boundaries that can damage relationships. It's important to be mindful of how social media use affects relationships and to establish clear boundaries with partners to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings.Support the show

There is no guarantee that a man will outgrow cheating, as it ultimately depends on the individual and their values and behaviors. Some men may mature and prioritize loyalty and commitment in their relationships as they age, while others may continue to engage in infidelity. Factors such as past experiences, cultural norms, and personal beliefs may also play a role in shaping one's approach to monogamy. However, it is worth noting that cheating is not a gender-specific behavior and can occur in any type of relationship. Ultimately, it is up to each person to make a conscious effort to respect their partner and make choices that align with their relationship goals."A man does not outgrow cheating the same way a heroin addict never outgrows his need for heroin.In fact, the more he gets away with cheating, the more he will cheat. Cheating is exciting in a way a normal relationship isn't. Bad sex is often the best sex for some people. Cheating is like being a spy, living a double life, having an adventure and when you get away with it, it's like returning from a successful spy mission where he got laid by the beautiful girl in the end."Support the show

"Everyone faces rejection, and at times, it can be hard to cope. Despite how gently (or harshly), someone lets you down; it will still cause some hurt. Although rejection is out of your control, you can control how you respond to it and how you move forward. You can also control the type of person you're becoming, including your character and actions. A fulfilling relationship is possible no matter what you're experiencing – all you need are the right tools."Support the show

Many couples experience the challenge of not being able to communicate effectively without getting into arguments, and this issue is quite common at some point in most relationships.There are several ways to fix the issue of not being able to talk without arguing in a relationship:Practice active listening: One of the most important communication skills is to listen actively to what your partner is saying without interrupting or getting defensive.Use "I" statements: Instead of blaming or accusing your partner, try using "I" statements to express your feelings and needs in a non-threatening way.Take a break: If the conversation becomes too heated or emotional, it's important to take a break and come back to it when both partners are calm and ready to communicate effectively.Seek professional help: If the issue persists, consider seeking the help of a couples therapist or counselor who can provide tools and strategies to improve communication and resolve conflicts.Remember, effective communication is the key to a healthy and successful relationship, so it's important to work on it continuously.Support the show
