By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Relationship Issues | 10 Comments

By Renee Wade | All, Commitment, Confidence, Relationship Issues | 23 Comments

Hi Renee & David, I really need your opinion on this. Everyone else I’ve talked to has more or less asked me to fight fire with fire, and I’m not really that kind of a human. So, my man and I, we’ve been in a relationship for some time now (is almost 3 years long enough?) and he was/is a masculine at his core. So far, however you’ve described a masculine man, he fits that description to a T. I try to understand that he has that drive in him, the ambition to achieve his goals and I understand that…

By Renee Wade | All, Attraction, Commitment, Relationship Issues | 66 Comments

By Renee Wade | Commitment, Finding Love, Relationship Issues | 78 Comments
