15 Ways To Leave Your Lover (With Love)

I just reread Elizabeth Gilberts memoir Eat, Pray, Love, and I found myself tearing up when I read, The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving.You see, I remember that feeling. Ill never forget that feeling.I Am DivorcedI have two ex-husbands and a now a third husband (thank God the third times a charm). This is not something Im proud of, but its part of who I am, and each of these relationships mashed up together in the butter churner of my life to spit me out the other end as the person I am today. And Ive never been happier.But back then, when the only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying, when the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving, I couldnt imagine Id ever find joy again. I only knew I had to try, that I couldnt give up on this little girl dream of sharing my life with someone who would let me be whole without giving up a part of myself to squeeze into a relationship that didnt quite fit.Lately, my path keeps crossing with people who are unhappy in their marriages or miserable in relationships with loved ones, and I cant help thinking that life is too short to live in pain, just because we said, I do.Dont get me wrong. Im the product of parents who were married for 40 faithful years before my father died, and I feel blessed to have been raised in such a stable home. Im hoping to offer my only daughter (to whom I gave birth with husband number 3) the same kind of stability I had. But not at any price.

Red Wine Reduced Breast Cancer Cells

Italian researchers from the University of Calabria say they demonstrated how a key ingredient in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells . Resveratrol is the ingredient they say might be useful in the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to primary therapies. In their experiment resveratrol was applied to different cells and compared to cells that received no treatment. The cells receiving resveratrol showed a decrease in growth. A large reduction in estrogen receptor levels was believed to be related to the inhibition of the breast cancer cells. Their research study was published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies forExperimental Biology. These findings are exciting, but in no way does it mean that should people go out and start using red wine or resveratrol supplements as a treatment for breast cancer, said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief. (Source: ScienceDaily.com ) He said the research is more about the potential of resverat

Get Married, Live Longer?

Image
Written by Jessica Cruel for YourTango.com New research shows that getting married could lengthen your life for up to 17 years .A study published in The American Journal Of Epidemiology reveals that single men have a 32 percent higher chance of death than married men across a lifetime. That means they could die eight to 17 years before the average married man of loneliness? Single women fare a bit better: They have a 23 percent (or about seven to 15 years) lower life expectancy compared to their married peers. This data is based on 90 studies of around 500 million people compiled over the last 60 years by researchers at the University of Louisville: No small feat. Younger singles face greater chances of early death. The risk of death for 30 to 39-year-old singles was 128 percent higher than for married people of the same age. On the other hand, 70-year-old singles only had a 16 percent higher risk of death. Perhaps its because theyve survived a single youth and emerged unscathed. These
