About MiaKat



At the tender age of 25 I already feel like I have been through it all. Well, maybe not, but I have done a lot in my life. A bit of background: I am 25 years old and married. I live in Portugal, although I am originally from Florida. My husband is Portuguese, qualifying me as an expert in culturally mixed relationships. In addition to this, we were in a long distance relationship for about 6 years before we made it official, again, making me an expert in long distance relationships. Apart from all of this, I have a degree in Business Management, and I am currently teaching English. (Hey, the pay is better for teachers than for business graduates!) I have a very diverse family and we won’t even go into my husband’s family, but I feel like I have some very fair-minded opinions and will be more than happy to give my two cents worth to any one who asks. A hearty thanks in advance to all who give me a chance to share my wisdom!

ok i need long detailed answers for this one.... ive been in a relationship for a year and a half and im wondering some things. what is a relationship supposed to be like? how do you work out problems without getting pissed off/ frustrated? how do you have fun like u used to? thanks i will rate good for good answers!

Wow, this is the end all to beat all questions about relationships isn't it? Well here goes. Relationships are supposed to be what you make of them. In other words, you get out what you put in. Things don’t work themselves out on their own, you have to be willing to give and get. Relationships will never be finished, they are a work in progress, and there will always be disagreements. The trick is how you deal with them. It's normal to get pissed off or frustrated, but it’s how you deal with that, that will make or break things. The best advice I can give is to pick your battles. If something is REALLY important to you then, in a nice way, put your foot down. If it's more important to your significant other, then let it go. As far as having fun like you use to, this is the present moving into the future, so we try not to worry about the past. Instead of reminiscing about the good days gone, try to plan your days with things that you will both enjoy in the future so you have something to look forward to instead of back.

what are some %100 sure signs a guy likes you? thanks in advance, i rate all 5's!

Well, that’s a difficult question since men have all different ranges of personalities, I doubt there are or ever will be anything 100%. However, here is my personal top 5 list.

1. He pays more attention to you now then he did before.
2. He suddenly has similar interest to your own.
3. He can free up time to hang out with you. (rather than his friends)
4. He knows your favorite perfume or flower or color etc...
5. He says he likes you. :D
