COULD THIS BE YOUR REASON?
When it comes to relationships, money really does matter according to new research that has found that rows about money are the biggest single predictor of divorce.
The study looked at 4,500 couples over several years and found that stress over finances topped the list of predictors of separation for both men and women.
Couples who argue about money may are seen as more likely to get a divorce than those who row over other matters including sex, children and the in-laws.
They say it's the root of all evil! What does money say about your relationship? How much of a value does it hold in your household?
Financial argument were also found to be longer in length, and couples tend to use harsher language during them.
Sonya Britt, assistant professor of family studies and human services at Kansas State University says
‘You can measure people's money arguments when they are very first married.
‘It doesn't matter how long ago it was, but when they were first together and already arguing about money, there is a good chance they are going to have poor relationship satisfaction.’
The longer these disagreements go on, the lower the relationship satisfaction will be, resulting for some couples in divorce.
Chartered Psychologist Kim Stephenson says: 'We know that the rate of 'financial infidelity' (lying, concealment, dishonesty generally about money) is on the increase in both the UK and US, based on figures since the financial crisis in 2008.
It's also been true for some time that financial issues are a major source of marital discord, for example, financial concerns are stated as the number one reason for couples to consult Relate.’

GUILTY PLEASURES...
I think we all have something in our lives that make us say, I should have thought about that before I did it.
Have you ever "smashed" your mates friend? and continued because... and why?
Have you ever shopped and had to hide the purchase from your significant other until you know they are not home then you bring it in?
Have you ever been fired your job and not told your spouse?
So what is your "Guilty Pleasure?"

My Push up Bra will help me get my man
Let's Talk About It....
Ladies and Gentlemen, I came across this video on You Tube and thought "how ghetto is she?" I could not help to think that there are many that think like this. Lets get this conversation started the right way.
Ladies is there any truth to the whole "push up bra" thing? Gentlemen, are we really that shallow, that we look beyond all her faults including the "Kool-Aid hair?" "IMJUSSAYIN"
Let me know what we are really thinking and what really matters. In my opinion she is GHETTO! She is about to pull up on a "sit-e-ation". She better hope the other woman isn't drinking water....

She Got That Flow...

While a lot can be said about her flow, tell me what you think.
Bx, Stand Up!
If You Don't Tell....
Trey Songz has come a long way in this business. The ladies love Trey...
With that being said, this video was posted on Worldstarhiphop and had me thinking. Ladies, you are the ladie on the video, your touched and caressed and invited backstage... Question do you follow through? Do you eventually tell your significant other?
Fella's let a brother know, where is the line drawn. Where do you draw the line and say, its okay she is still coming home to me.
Just curious... "imjussayin"...
Hold Your Head- You've Touched Many Lives...
We sometimes cannot control our emotions, and often regret the actions taken in order to prove a point. With that being said I say, Hold your Head. You have "infected" us all in some way, shape or form. You came home from prison and made an impact that gave a lot of brothers hope and will continue to give a lot of brothers hope.
I had the pleasure of meeting this brother and speaking with him @ length. No, not in an interview setting, just a casual setting as I drove the brother around then on to the studio. One of the most humble brothers you would ever want to meet. So to Lyfe Jennings, I say hold on brother, "We got you". Your career is here for you when you get home. Good music and lyrics never die.
Definitely a message in your music. Check the message in the video!
Nuff Said!

His Dating Diary: 9 Signs Your Guy Is Cheating
Are you suspicious that your significant other is playing the field? Here, one man shares 9 relationship red flags that may signal some extracurricular irregularities.
(By Rich Santos/Marie Claire)
When you get suspicious that your significant other is cheating, be careful not to appear to be paranoid. You have to walk a fine line — you don't want to make false accusations.
So, while I'm sharing this list of cheating red flags, I concede that it's a tricky situation. It's hard to be sure if someone's cheating, but protect yourself: Be vigilant, and pay attention to your mind and spirit within the relationship. But, at the same time, be careful not to let anxiety lead the way because unnecessary paranoia will just drive your lover away. Here are some red flags that may signal that your significant other is cheating:
1. Less SexUnless he's Superman, he can only have so much sex. So, if he's getting it from another source, you might notice. Whether it's another woman or a porn addiction — even if he's not cheating — a decrease in sex signals serious issues in the relationship.
2. Jumpy Cell Phone HabitsIn a perfect world, we'd be open about sharing our correspondence with our significant others. Most of the time, we trust that we don't have to worry about who is texting or calling them. But, if you notice that he is getting protective and/or nervous when he gets calls or texts, it may be cause for alarm.
3. Gushing or Talking About Someone SuddenlyYou know that exhilarating feeling you get when you meet someone new and exciting? You want to tell the world about him. One of my exes began talking about a guy a lot near the end of our relationship — he just always seemed to be at her social gatherings that I didn't happen to attend. Sure enough, after she dumped me, she began dating him.
4. DisconnectingEven though relationships ebb and flow naturally, if you're sensing that he's drawing away from you, then there may be someone else. Emotional disconnection should be investigated regardless of whether it's caused by cheating. There's a problem if he's not laughing or seeming as passionate as usual. It's hard to spread love/passion between two people, so the person who used to have it will feel it slipping away if it's being given to someone else.
5. He's Pulling "Houdinis"If he's disappearing, traveling, or unavailable to the point where you are starting to wonder, then he could be cheating. Also, these times tend to take on a pattern because it's tough to synch up schedules, especially in secret.
6. His Friends Are Acting StrangeHis friends will certainly remain loyal to him in most cases. They will not let you know what's going on, but they will definitely be racked with guilt, and their behavior may change slightly when they are around you while protecting his secret.
7. He's Being Caught in Lies About Other ThingsIf you catch him in a lie, your trust will naturally be damaged. Don't hold a grudge — forgiveness is a good thing. You can forgive, but don't forget. If he consistently breaches your trust, it's establishing a pattern of behavior that leads to cheating. Do yourself a favor: If he keeps lying, whether these lies are big or small, get out while you can and don't let him talk his way back in.
8. Been There, Done ThatI always say: "Once a cheater, always a cheater." If he's done it before, he's definitely capable of doing it again. It has nothing to do with you, which is why you can't say that he cheated on his previous lover because she didn't keep him happy. Cheating is a self-serving act in which the cheater doesn't take his significant other into consideration. If someone is upfront with you that he's made mistakes in the past, maybe give them a chance —— but make it a long probationary period before you let your guard down.
9. Your Gut Tells You SoDon't ignore your sixth sense. People are gifted at sensing when something doesn't feel right. Whether there are red flags in your relationship that are clueing you in or not, if something feels off, don't ignore this feeling. Usually that suspicion is correct, and something intangible may have led to you figuring it all out.

The Gray Area
As i read the post of D Woods on Global Grind, I couldn't help but to think "sad". Of the many artist that have sailed through Bad Boy and the like of many other labels how many really have had and still has a substantial career. Never mind the fact that you are attempting to fulfill a dream. When fulfilling a dream remember that the dream is yours and not the label that you are signed to.
With that being said, as an individual that has been in the background of the music business for many years, I encourage all artists to take their careers into their own hands. Do your homework, look beyond the change that the labels will post to your account quarterly (shorts). You are probably worth more to yourself and your career than you are to the label. Do the math and realize the profits are yours if you follow the mindset of a hustler. Remember - "Life is a hustle", and unless you are willing to hustle for it, you may be standing alone short of the finish line.
While I have friends and associates that have had lucrative careers in the music business, this is far and few in between. For every one friend that I have that has made it, I have three that are struggling to reach that level. Even today....
Do your homework and due diligence and seek the rewards that are truly yours.

A Woman Knows...
The statement is that "A woman knows within 60 seconds of meeting a man if she wants to sleep with him". Now while I disagree with the statement - I have to remain neutral. My thoughts are simply; a "woman" or a "lady", or anyone of substance may have a thought or two when meeting an individual - but; that's not it.
Now I've been wrong before, (once upon a time), so please once again - let's get to the bottom of this one. Sign in and get in...
