My SO is Married to His Xbox
Sometimes it feels like my SO spends more time with his Xbox than he spends with me. I'd even say he's married to it. It drives me CRAZY. I'm sure that there are other girls out there that possibly feel the same way as I do about this.
I decided I'd do a little research on my own and I was definitely not surprised to see that the term "How do I get my boyfriend off the xbox" is widely used. What information did I find? TONS. There's even an eHow page with instructions on how to get him off the damn thing. Let's recap some of their suggestions, because its mildly entertaining.
- Clean your living room area or wherever the Xbox is in a french maid costume
- Cook his favorite meal so the smell drags him off the couch and into the kitchen
- Fill his mind with dirty thoughts by whispering in his ear
Although these suggestions are funny and in some cases may actually work - if they dont, you might seriously want to reconsider who you are with and why you are with them. If you plan on making it work and "sharing" him with the Xbox try to work out some sort of "no-tv-time" or plan on date nights where the both of you can get away from video games and the tv.
Does your boyfriend spend too much time on the Xbox? If so, how do you pull him away?

Are You Being Cheated On?
Ever wondered if you were being cheated on? Suspected it? I have to admit that even I have suspected my partner of cheating, and I've been cheated on in the past - there are a few signs that can possibly indicate that your SO is a cheatin' fool!
Sign Number 1: Sudden Schedule Changes
If your partner suddenly changes their schedule and fumbles around explaining the reason why - he may be a cheater. Unexcused answers for not answering the phone, says he's "working late" or constantly in a "meeting" at 10PM, or flat out can't tell you where he is - red flag? I think so.
Sign Number 2: Suddenly Unaffectionate
Now its normal to not be affectionate ALL the time, but if your partner strangely just doesn't want to show you any affection, perhaps that is a sign that there's something fishy going on. From first hand experience I can tell you that this suspicion is the one I went off of to catch my last partner cheating.
Sign Number 3: Call Logs / Text Messages Constantly Erased
For those of us who share a home phone or generally use each others phones interchangeably, this is a sure fire way to find out if your partner is cheating. Noticing that all your partner's text messages have been cleared prior to them handing over their phone, or the call history on your caller ID is being cleared constantly - definitely a red flag in my book.
I'm sure there are several other signs out there that your partner is cheating, but have any of these signs rang true in catching your partner cheating?

Abortion is NOT a Form of Birth Control
I know there are several things out there now that can lower your odds of getting pregnant, but what happens when you do get pregnant? Do you keep it? Adoption? Or have an abortion?
I’ve been researching this topic for quite some time, and not for my own personal reasons, just because it seems to be a sensitive subject and younger women have been seeing induced abortion as a method of birth control, which I personally find quite disgusting. I’m sure all of you will condemn me for believing that in some special circumstances I believe abortion is OK, but when it boils down to, “Oops, I got pregnant” I’m definitely not OK with it.
If you are having sex and don’t want to get pregnant, there are obviously precautions you should be taking, and hopefully it’s more than one. Abortion should never be referred to as a form of birth control. It can be potentially harmful both physically and psychologically. If you do the deed, you pay the price – and if you can’t handle the consequences, you were never mature or responsible enough to be having sex in the first place.
What is your stand on abortion as a method of birth control? Are you for or against it?

I'm Not Ashamed to Order Steak
I can't speak for other women out there, but I LOVE to eat! My girlfriends on the other hand, stick with ordering salads - or lack there of - when they go out on dates... this is probably one of my hugest pet peeves. Common' ladies! Aren't we all comfortable with our bodies? I know when you open up that menu you stare at that delicious steak with sautéed mushrooms and onions, I know I do. I'm drooling right now just thinking about it.
I often wonder what men think of when they see us ordering a house salad or a small bowl of soup, so I asked my SO what his take on it was. He and I both agree that it almost seems like a girl who simply orders just a salad shows that she might not be comfortable with her body - or has some fear of eating in front of men (more than likely the first). Of course he did mention that "price wise," a girl getting a salad would save him a lot of money... but regardless, it does seem a little odd. What girl goes out on a date with a guy to say, Red Lobster, and orders a salad - weird.
I know I'm not ashamed to order steak, but what would you order if someone took you out to dinner on a first date?

"Sex-tistics" - Do You Get It On 66 Times a Year?
Apparently the typical American has sex about 66 times a year according to the National Opinion Research Center – but if you’re a young married couple, you enjoy it about 16 times more a year. Does anybody else find this number…low? Now I’m not a nymphomaniac, but I definitely know I get freaky more than 66 times a year. Doesn’t everyone else?
After digesting this crazy information I decided to investigate a bit more on the subject of guess what? SEX. A few things I’d like to point out that I found interesting… Let’s call them “Sex-tistics”
• The average “romp in the hay” lasts about 7.3 minutes, apparently for several men it’s a struggle to last longer
• About 40 million little spermy come out of you-know-what during every ejaculation
• You only burn about 38 calories per 30 minutes of sex… unless you’re a freak in the sheets, then who knows!
• You’re man “going” before you effects 24 to 27 percent of all men
• Apparently 6 to 7 inches is NORMAL – but we all have our opinions here I’m sure
• 48 percent of women fake orgasms – CRAZY!
Well now that we all feel a bit more educated in the realm of sex…
Do you feel that 66 times is a reasonable number? Too high, too low?
