You've been playing games in your relationship far too long and it's about to cost you what you really want, love. If you don't pull it together and get a grip, you know you will be alone soon. Fearing rejection and abandonment, a person with the fearful avoidant attachment style is passive-aggressive and has a hard time seeing their own worth. They question love and their actions are confusing to their partner. This book discusses all four attachment styles, but highlights the fearful avoidant partner.

How Understanding the Four Main Styles of Attachment Can Impact Your Relationship

Fearful- Avoidant in Love

Having the love you want takes you understanding your relationship, your needs and your partner's needs. What makes love a sin is when you allow yourself to be used, abused and mistreated thinking you are growing your relationship. My intention is to teach you how to recognize the sins of love so you can have the love and relationship you desire.

The Secret to Having the Love You Desire

The Seven Sins of Love

H. Smith

Everyone, has a story to tell, I've just been contemplating if the world was ready to hear mine. You would be surprised at who will try to stop you from telling your story as if it will affect them. Where were those so-called family members when I was killing myself on the streets looking for love? I am here only by the grace of God. I have scars and my scars cover me from head to toe. Isn't it funny how in the midst of your darkest hours of life and sin that darkness tries to make you laugh? It makes you forget about all the sorrow and pain it put you through before issuing you another gut-wrenching blow of misfortune? But, life never really offered me a laugh. I found my comfort by diving into a life of drugs and prostitution. My life was anything but perfect. And I knocked busters on their ass, men twice my size to prove that, I would not be taken advantage of in these streets. Fighting my brothers and sisters was a way of life. My family outcast me and my mamma turned her back to me while I was treated like trash in my own family. Abuse, neglect, suicide, drug addiction and prostitution were a part of my darkest hours of life. Could it be that my mind has been trying to outrun my pain and sorrow all these years? Or is it that my pain doesn't want me to forget what has happened? I thought that if I got married life would change for me, but looking back on it and laughing now, married life did not treat me any better. And that's because my husband was strung out on heroin and running the streets sleeping with crackheads and whores. My family outcast me and my husband beat me. I laid down to die as a way to escape the pain I was feeling, but death didn't want me, not then. How did I get myself out of such a predicament? I did by the grace and mercy of God. I know that diamonds are precious stones. They are ugly to look at in their natural state and found amongst rocks and dirt walked on by people who don't know their worth. I was a diamond and did not know my worth so long ago. I was stepped on in life and by people I loved and who I thought loved me. I added to my darkest hours with my own hands by the things that I was doing; I don't deny it. Today I am delivered, no longer living in life's darkest hours. I've survived my hell on earth and not ashamed to tell my story. Getting here wasn't easy, I cried many nights, but I am here strong standing in God's mercy and grace. I've overcome it all and if I can survive my darkest hours of life and find peace and happiness, so can you.

I've beat myself up for staying in their lives far too long; hoping they'd eventually welcome, accept, and love me. But instead, I've continued to be used and abused.

The Elephant In The Bed; What's Blocking Your Sex Life?

Father-son relationships are not always perfect, and many sons are not trying to be their father's best friend. As they get older, they find that they just don't like their fathers, and that for a good reason, because fathers tend to be dismissive of anything their sons do, as well as being bullies. Fathers, like mothers, are not perfect beings by any means, and often fall short of their sons' expectations when it comes to their relationship. These war torn relationships between fathers and sons is what I am addressing in "I Wish You Weren't My Son, I Wish You Weren't My Dad - Overcoming A Toxic Relationship." The only way to heal a strained and out of control father-son relationship that is toxic is by getting to the root, or to the heart, of the problem. For dads, it's something about their sons that just rubs them the wrong way, like their attitude. For the sons, they are tired of the fathers' dismissive and bullying ways.

Overcoming a Toxic Relationship

I Wish You Weren't My Son; I Wish You Weren't My Dad

I don’t know how many times I have witnessed many of my friends and family members involved in happy, loving and committed relationships, sad and alone the next day. What could have happened? Who was to blame for the relationship not working out? What’s even more confusing is being introduced to someone new days later. I know you are thinking it’s none of my business why this is happening. Now don’t get me wrong, I understand sometimes things don’t work out for whatever reason, you just have to move on.

Once more I wanted them to see that love was not death, but their way of thinking is what killed their relationships. My intentions are to teach you how to deal with your commitment phobe so you can win at love.

It's a shame to say this but ugly people are everywhere. The worst ones are in relationships. Why is it that the most attractive people fall in love with the most unattractive people on the planet? You've seen it, a handsome looking young man holding hands with a unattractive female or an attractive female in the arms of a very ugly man. That's right I said it, finally I have been able to get this off of my chest. It makes you look wonder if you are single what the heck is wrong with me, as if you can't find someone nice, but you have and their attitude is ugly when they are attractive. Is there something I don't understand in dating ugly people? Is there different types of ugly people? Yes, there are different types of ugly people in the world of dating if you have not noticed. Besides the normal looking and attractive people every single person looks for, there's something ugly about that person even if it's not in their physical appearance. It's never an easy subject to talk about no matter the age. This is why I thought it was time to talk about the ugly world of falling in love with ugly people.

Why Do I Attract and Fall in Love with Ugly People?

Ugly

People will do whatever they can to bully you into doing what they want you to do, including exclude you from others you know, tell your most trusted secret, lie, and even spread rumors from one person to another, all in an effort to hurt you. We are all familiar with the milkman characters from decades back. He came to your door with fresh bottles of cold milk, but that wasn’t all that he carried with him. His day consisted of going from house to house, with a wealth of secrets, rumors, and lies he picked up during his daily rounds. He was just like people you know who go around and talk behind your back, all to make you look bad and feel humiliated, by saying, “The milkman said you did...” You may be asking, “What did I do to deserve this?” The answer is, nothing. You did nothing to deserve this treatment. Some folks are just not happy, so they use a tactic called “relational aggression” to gain control over others. If you are not sure who these folks are around you every day, this book will help you to identify who and where they are in your life, and how to stop them by using positive tactics. Don’t Tell the Milkman If You Don’t Want Him to Tell the World is a book that focuses on rumors, secrets, lies, and gossip spread by people you know, and don’t know, in aggressive and non-aggressive manners. I, just like you, have had my fair share of dealings with the milkman.
