Granted they can be one in the same but according to this article, it suggests it may be better to be in a companionate marriage than a romantic marriage for it to last.

Also, do you think the article is right, that the divorce rates are going down and marriages are increasing?

I was in a relationship with a guy and we had a mutual friend, more his friend (even though he knew her through me but that's another story). She called him kitten also when I was around and I hated every second of it. Platonic he said but I didn't like it.

The word I think to me has a very sexual/lover connotation when you call someone else that. It's not a name for a platonic friend in my silly opinion. This became a whole thing as I had to bring it up multiple times but he said it was just a nickname and it wasn't a big deal, for me it was just too much and if she called him cat or whatever I wouldn't have cared. But kitten? Come oooon.

It's been months and I was wondering what people think of this. Am I being too insecure or is it just... not good?
Please share your opinions and vote if you got some time to spare? Thanks!

(We've broken up awhile ago. This is just a "I wonder what people think of this because am I really insecure or is it not that common.")

Scenario:

You're 11 months old and your bio mother (a single mother) snatches you, throws you off the balcony from the 7th floor so she can ran off with her lover but you land between a patch of mulch and grass. Somehow you survived with mild bruises and a fracture. No brain damage. Many years later (now in your mid 20's), you find out your loving mom and dad are your adopted parents. Then you find out the real truth of your bio mom's attempt to finish you off.

That's my best friend's story. Her adopted parents and the rest of the extended family members are her family. She doesn't know whether to track down her bio mother and confront her or not. She hasn't decided that yet. Would you have confronted her?
