"Someone to tell it to...
"...is one of the fundamental needs of human beings". At least that's what Miles Franklyn says, and I happen to agree with him. And Hardline Self Help author Paula Renaye's in agreement too.
- And that's why Paula and I have created this online relationship advice page - to let you share your relationships questions (and answers) with the world.
- Yes, we want to look at YOUR relationship problems - submitted anonymously or otherwise; we want you to look at ours.
And together we can all help each other do the best we can in those often difficult, but oh so life-affirming romantic relationships.
Relationship forums can really help those of us who struggle to do our best in relationships. And this relationship advice forum will do this, and more. It will include:
- Quotes about relationships, from me Steve M Nash
- A reality check from Paula Renaye
- YOUR answers too - yes, your opinions are welcome too - whoo hoo!
- NOTE: questions can be submitted anonymously, as can answers

Relationships Q&A What You, Me & Paula
Renaye Say...
Okay, my name is Steve M Nash and I've had my fair share of ups and downs in relationships - my fair share of relationship problems. I've also helped many a friend come to terms with what's really going on in their relationship (I've helped myself, too)...
Paula Renaye is the award-winning author of Hardline Self Help Handbook. Paula is passionate about relationships, helping people make their relationships work (including herself). Her book Living and Loving on Purpose--Get Real and Get the Relationship You Really Want) is coming in 2012...

Relationships Q&A – With You, Me And Paula Renaye
So some example relationship questions might include
- How to end a relationship (relationship breakup)
- How to deal with controlling relationships
- Long distance relationship advice
- How to build trust in relationships,
and even
- Rebound relationship questions might be covered
It's entirely up to you, really, and what you want to know more about
And the answers will come from you (you know 'stuff' about relationships I know you do), from me (and my thoughts will always include one ore more quotes about relationships) and from Paula Renaye (who is offering a reality check - a 'tough love' approach to relationships, oh yes)...
Let me start with answering a question no-one has asked just yet:
Question #1: Why are relationships so difficult?
Answer: Well, I'm starting to see how 'solving' or looking at relationship issues really is an opportunity to take a bigger look at a person's personal development and self-growth. And that's because not getting on with someone usually reduces to issues of confidence, unassertiveness, low self esteem (picking the wrong man/woman), thinking you don't deserve happiness, fearfulness, poor communication skills etc..
Anyway, here's some general relationship advice I could give right now, absolutely free. And when I say me, I really mean these fine individuals...
"Problems in relationship occur because each person is concentrating on what is missing in the other person."
-- Wayne Dyer
"People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges."
-- Joseph F. Newton
"People change and forget to tell each other."
-- Lillian Hellman
and
"Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other."
-- Unknown

Got a Relationship Question You'd Like Answering?
Sometimes we all need a little help, an outside opinion, and that's never more true than with 'relationships problems'.
So ask your question here, and give us a little background, and if we like it then we'll add it to our relationship advice forum. Then either Paula Renaye or myself, Steve M Nash, will make a start with the online relationship advice. But anyone can answer these relationship questions (even you!)
