article: Your husband may start being subtly passive aggressive without him even noticing it. The trick is to pick up on the behaviors before things spiral out of control. You may notice him slipping in his responsibilities ever so slightly, procrastinating more than usual, or finding excuses for things. When you notice these signs, you can disengage from the conflict before more overt passive aggression comes forth. While your first reaction may be to nag him or explode on him for his behavior, resist the urge to do so. You may turn into a parent role, which won't go well for you or your husband. It's unlikely you want to parent your husband, and it's unlikely he wants to be placed in the child role in your marriage. If you feel yourself about to react, stop yourself and take a moment. Think about the way you feel and what thoughts are going through your head. Take a deep breath before saying anything. Don't play his game. If you start in on the passive aggressiveness, then you will cycle the behavior until both of you are utterly unhappy. Instead, approach him in saying, "We have a problem that we need to work through." If he is chronically late, say, "We have a difficulty getting out of the house in time when we have places to be. What do you think would be helpful in ensuring we get places on time?" Maybe his lines used to work in guilting you or accepting blame, but put an end to it. Don't let these tactics work on you any longer. If he says, "I'm not mad" but clearly is, make a request for him to be honest with you and share how he is feeling. If he says, "I was only joking", make sure you communicate that those kind of jokes are disrespectful and not appreciated. If he says, "Why are you so mad?" Communicate clearly that his behavior is upsetting. "When you don't communicate with me, it's really frustrating. I'd like to know what's going on that feels challenging to you."

Write an article based on this "Don't focus on any guilt that you're harboring. Don't go out of your way to avoid places or people that remind you of your ex. Don't allow lingering negativity to get in the way when you do meet someone new. Don't keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Don't find reasons to contact your former lover. Don't use alcohol or drugs to escape from your pain."
article: If you feel that you made a mistake in the relationship and have attempted to make amends, move on. Don't be hard on yourself for things that you cannot change. To help alleviate guilt, try reminding yourself what you did right, either in the relationship or outside of it. Envision a time when you were supportive, loving and loyal to those around you. Determine who is behind the guilt that you're feeling. Are your friends wishing you would get back together with your ex or is he manipulating you in some way? Determining which feelings are someone else's and which are your own is important for figuring out if the guilt is warranted or not. If you had a favorite restaurant that you frequented together, make it a point to still eat there. Make reservations to go with friends in order to create new memories. This will keep you from limiting yourself and letting your sadness dictate your actions. If you shared a mutual friend with your ex who you still care about, try not to let the nature of the friendship change now that you're no longer together. Remember that starting a new relationship doesn't mean it will end like your last one did. Concentrating on how you feel you were wronged will make you appear bitter and unpleasant to be around. If you hold onto these feelings, you could miss the opportunity to meet someone amazing in the future. Allow yourself to learn from past mistakes, but understand that no two men are the same. If you begin to notice an unhealthy pattern within your relationships, consider how you can avoid this. Whether it's being taken advantage of, or letting a negative side of your own personality take over, recognize that failure to change this habit will result in a similar outcome. If the type of man that you're drawn to keeps hurting you, address the reasons behind why you're drawn to this type of relationship. Talk with those closest to you who saw the nature of your relationship first-hand. Ask them for help in constructively evaluating what went wrong with your ex. Chances are that if your break up is fresh and you are still healing, even a friendship isn't possible between the two of you for now. It will be difficult to have an objective viewpoint on what went wrong if you're still in contact. Additionally, it may make it harder for you to accept the end of the relationship, which will only prolong your grieving process. True closure can be difficult if there is still dialogue between the two of you. A clean break will make acceptance of the end unavoidable. If he is the one contacting you, consider changing your phone number and email address. Delete him from your social media accounts so you aren't forced to inadvertently think about him throughout the day when you login to your accounts and he's posted an update. If you don't want to delete him altogether, most apps have ways of blocking people, as well. While you may be tempted to do whatever it takes to relieve your feelings of loneliness, you will be further behind in the long run if you rely on something as destructive as these numbing agents. Drugs and alcohol will block your feelings, and put off the grieving process, rather than getting you closer to starting to heal. There is a chance you could develop an addiction, producing another issue to overcome. It's possible you could drive away friends and potential future mates with this harmful behavior.

article:
If you get an indication that your child is being exposed to sexual information, then it is time to start talking with them yourself. Even infants are curious about their bodies, and by preschool age they may show an intellectual curiosity regarding others' bodies as well as their own. By eight years old many kids are ready to have some form of a sex conversation with you. Remember to keep the conversation age appropriate, too. You don't need to provide all of the biological details to a young child, but it is important to let them know you are there to talk. By middle school your teen will likely have had at least one brief sexual education discussion in class. This is a good age range to clarify any biological information or details that may be confusing. When your child reaches high school, you may want to focus your attention on safe sex, including STD prevention. It is best to discuss sex when you and your child are alone. This will allow both of you to be honest and straightforward without worrying about peer pressure or embarrassment. Many parents find that the car is a great place to talk. Or, you and your child could talk while taking a walk. It is often helpful to talk about potentially uncomfortable subjects in the middle of completing a familiar activity. For example, you might want to initiate conversation in the middle of a basketball game, if you and your child regularly play together. Consider your family dynamic. Some children may be more comfortable having initial conversations with parents, guardians, or a close relative of the same biological sex. Be aware that your child has probably been exposed to a wide variety of sexual information fairly early on. The internet, radio, and TV all express sexualized messages on a regular basis. You might start the conversation with your child by asking them what they've seen or heard. For example, you might say, "You had the sex ed class in school today. Do you have any questions about what you learned? Did anything concern or confuse you?" To gauge what kind of sexual information your child is encountering, try flipping through their favorite magazines. Or, listen to their music. Consider your conversation with your child as one that is ongoing and continual. Look for opportunities in your daily life when you can bring up the subject or provide them with some useful information. Pop culture provides many such opportunities. If you both are watching a TV show that mentions a sexual myth, go ahead and correct it for your child. Normalizing the conversations can help your child better understand in the long run. Also, be aware that you could overwhelm, or scare, your child if you try to lump everything that you want them to know into one talk. Instead, purposefully spread this information out over time, building a relationship built on trust and open communication. Tell them that you're available whenever. For example, "If you think of more questions you have, feel free to ask me sometime."
