Be the leading role of your own movie. Don’t sit around playing second fiddle or cleaning up the messes of drama queens.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

Is this person willing to take the next step? Are you willing to wait? Here are some signs that your relationship is not going to progress to the place you want it to go.

A puppy and a newborn almost guarantee that nobody in your household will sleep consistently for months. The dog makes you more at the ready for those late night feedings and stretches your capacity for patience beyond anything you ever dreamed imaginable.

You’re much too awesome, smart and civilized to sit around waiting for someone to suddenly realize that their current ex-fiancé is really their best future spouse. That’s just nonsense.

They say that love is blind, but if you find yourself pulling your hair out during your “honeymoon phase,” it’s time to reevaluate the relationship.
