OPINION February 2025

WHY GETTING BACK WITH AN EX NEVER WORKS? No one ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and one is not the same person.

“Research suggests that going back to an ex often doesn’t work because the underlying issues that led to the initial breakup are likely to resurface without significant personal growth and change from both partners, leading to a repeat of the same conflicts and ultimately another failed relationship; additionally, people may have moved on emotionally and the dynamic between them may have shifted, making it difficult to rekindle the same connection.”

OPINION February 2025

ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOR (?) BY “NORMAL” PEOPLE (?) In a world where “divorce” is the norm rather than the exception, long-life partnerships may be perceived as “anomalies”.

WHEN YOU’VE BEEN MARRIED FOR A LONG TIME – 30 YEARS –

WHAT KIND OF “CRAZY” ARE YOU?

“If you have children, the probability that divorce will demolish your life is very high. First, it’s incredibly expensive, both of you will come out of it poorer. And, for women who take the kids, your “market value” has drastically declined. And the men, they’re just as screwed because now they’re “indentured servant(s)”–there’s no escape from it. Obviously, there are exceptions.” Dr. Jordan Peterson. What Dr. Peterson said about stepparents is so true (according to data), even though it is a strong way of making a point. (Safety of Children First)

EDITORIAL OPINION: IS THAT ALL THERE IS?

(Probably) long-lasting marriages are not primarily about happiness. But, also, as in “chemistry” there are strong and weaker “chemical bonds”. Maybe stable people are attracted to stable people and unstable people are attracted to unstable people. *Contrary to chemistry, a fundamental principle in ‘genetics’ is that like-begets-like‘* (e.g. “It may be argued that immature people attract other immature people, as they may be drawn to similar behaviors and patterns, finding comfort or familiarity in a dynamic where they don’t have to navigate mature expectations or responsibilities within a relationship“). And here’s the kick: commitment, hard work, a shared vision and a sense of humor are vital if you are going to have a good marriage. Otherwise, they might be in ‘real’ trouble and pulled into different life directions — sooner or later. Too simplistic of a view? Let’s agree to disagree. We’re just drawing empirical speculations/opinions on what we think may be considered common sense.

Always seek the advice of your own Medical Provider and/or Mental Health Provider regarding any questions or concerns you have about your specific relationship(s) issues.


OPINION February 2025

DETERMINISM vs. FREE WILL: “Astrological determinism is the idea that a person’s destiny is determined by astrological and philosophical laws. It’s been a widespread belief since ancient times, and has been linked to fate and fortune. Superstition(s) are beliefs that are not based on reason or evidence. Free will is the ability to make choices without being influenced by prior events or external forces. It’s a concept that’s debated in philosophy, theology, and science. On The The ‘Art of Divination’: According to Christians/The Scriptures, ‘false prophets’ forecast lies and powerless imprecations — messages from ‘evil spirits’ (e.g. via sorceresses) that (ultimately) inflict harm upon the souls of their followers/practitioners. (Example of Bible Prophets: Moses, Abraham, Prophet Elijah, Prophet Isaiah, Prophet Jeremiah, etc.)”

Mens sana in corpore sano — “A health mind equals to a healthy body/house”.

WHAT’S THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND MESSY HOUSES?

Clutter may lead to decreased focus, confusion, and tension. In some ways, clutter and mess are linked to negative emotions like confusion, tension, and irritability, while an organized home produces more positive emotions like calmness and a sense of well-being. According to a study sponsored by the University of Minnesota: “Participants in the messy room generated the same number of ideas for new uses as their clean-room counterparts.”
