  Thinking of breaking up with someone by text or email because you won’t have to witness or experience pain? Think again. If there’s anything more cowardly, inhumane and just tacky, I don’t know what it is….except possibly breaking up on Facebook. Or leaving a phone message. Please, ex-lovers: You are not beasts. A person […] The post In HeynSight #7: The Myth That Breaking up is Easier By Text or Email appeared first on .

In HeynSight #7: The Myth That Breaking up is Easier By Text or Email

  Has there ever been a magazine cover that doesn’t promise to put the “spark” back into your sex life?

In HeynSight #2: The Confession Myth: Should Spouses Always Tell The Truth?

  My work has for so long been about busting myths about women, marriage, love and dating, stories that keep us from writing our own unique scripts about our own relationships, so I’ve started a Blogtalk radio show (see the player, below) on the subject.
