DATING

Is opening a car door for your girlfriend a sweet gesture or old-fashioned? I think simple acts of courtesy and respect are super important in dating and marriage. My boyfriend still does these things, and it makes me feel cherished and respected. It’s not about thinking women are weak; it's about men showing they care through traditional, polite actions. I believe these simple gestures make a modern romance stronger and build a foundation of mutual respect.

I’ve been there—stung by disappointment in love, whether in marriage or dating. The pain of broken trust, the grief when plans fall apart, and the fog of doubt can feel crushing. Yet hope is real: with honest communication, healthy boundaries, self-care, faith or counseling, and a slow path to forgiveness, you can heal, rebuild trust, and move forward toward joy. This is about practical steps for recovery, coping with hurt, restoring trust, and finding love and happiness again.
