This week's confession:
"When my boyfriend and I fight, I have a couple guy friends I can always call to come cuddle with me. I don't have any sexual feelings towards them, but if my boyfriend knew I did this he would be devastated yet I still continue to do it. Can I be forgiven for turning to other men for comfort?"

This week's confession:
"I want another baby so badly, but my hubby won't budge. I want to pull an "oopsey" and forget to put in my Nuvaring this month but if I get pregnant that way, can I be forgiven?"

I'm inclined to go with "yes," but I'm a little biased right now, having just gotten out of a long-distance relationship that relied heavily on the medium.
Erin Flaherty's recent blog post on Shine got me a little bit out on my funk, though. It was nice to know I wasn't the only super-stressed, workaholic singleton penciling in bite-sized emotional connections as an actual romantic strategy. Sure, texting can be hot and harmless in healthy ways, but it's also a dangerous enabler for those of us career-women in our late 20s who don't have time to waste dating men who aren't sure what they want. You can have the comfort of knowing someone is thinking about you, but don't have to make the time commitment or expose yourself in all your bad-hair-day-chin-zit glory when you're feeling less than confident. And you can feel like you're making progress in your love life for a minimal amount of effort. (**Note: Minimal effort for maximum results is a great strategy at the office, but doesn't exactly have the same effects in love.)
Taking a step back, it's shocking how we can build so much up and tear it down when our little thumbs are in a texting frenzy. My relationship felt real, and I arguably cared about this boyfriend more than I have any of the others who were actually around in person. I don't think we would have been able to connect the way we did if we didn't have the option to send each other sweet little zingers throughout the day. But it's definitely not the same as connecting in person or talking on the phone, and I'm convinced that it's becoming the lazy man's lame excuse for intimacy.

This week's confession:
"My ex is trying to get back together with me. I have no plans on going through with it but I sure am enjoying the sense of power I feel right now! Is toying with his emotions forgivable?"

This week's confession:
"I cant stand my fiance's family. They are mean to me and I don't like the way I feel or act around them. I worry that he will cheat on me because his dad cheated on his mom for 10 years of their marriage. I love him so much, but I don't know if I can go through with it. Can I be forgiven for passing this kind of judgment when my finance has given me no reason to distrust him?"

This week's confession:
"I'm sleeping with my best friend. I work with him and I could be severely disciplined if anyone found out about us. I like knowing that what we are doing is wrong, and truth be told, it's probably the only reason I'm doing it. Is having sex just for the thrill of it forgivable?"
