Relationship Hacking

Jonathan and Gergana, they're a husband and wife
Whose advice on love is sound and advice is rife.
They've been together for half a decade or more,
And they've seen it all, from the good to the bad and the sore.

Their advice is always sound,
And never fails to cool
The ardor of the love-sick youth,
And make him see the truth.

But be warned, their advice can be a bit blunt,
So if you're easily offended, you might want to run.
But if you're looking for honest and straight-talking advice,
Then J&G are the ones to go to, no price.

In these webisodes, we dispense tips, tricks, and relationshackingtechniques for those longing for belonging and relationships that are sinking ships...

"My wife is getting fat! What the heck should I do...?" 💔 J&G Relationships Q&A #1

My girl and I were enjoying one of the first days of a well-earned week of vacation at the sun-drenched Black Sea seaside. Damn near everything was downright paradisiacal until (as you do) we got into a little argument...

Here’s the crux of the argument: Being on vacation, you’re inclined to take a lot of photos of yourselves looking fabulous and enjoying the colorful environs you find yourself in, and my girl was a bit upset that I wasn’t uploading more photos to social media of us looking like a cute couple as she was doing. Most of the photos I was uploading were just of me looking adventuresome and generally being museful in nature.

Your smartphone can, in the most insidious way, royally fuck with your relational tranquility.

It shouldn't be news to you that smartphones and social media have A LOT to do with breakups, heartbreak, divorce, domestic discord, and infidelity in the current year. From uncontesteddivorceny.net

According to a study conducted by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), more than 80% of divorce attorneys have reported a significant increase in the use of social media as evidence in divorce cases, particularly among Facebook users. The study also found that social media use was cited as a reason for divorce in one-third of all cases surveyed, especially among married couples.

James J. Sexton, a $600/hour New York divorce attorney wrote in his excellent book...

Facebook is the single greatest breeding ground ever for infidelity. Nothing that has come before—not swingers’ clubs and key parties, not chat rooms, not workplace temptations, not Ashley Madison, Tinder, or Grindr; no, not even porn—comes within a thousand miles.

If I had a dollar for every divorce caused by infidelity that started on Facebook, I would have … well, just about the same amount of money I have. Bless you, Mark Zuckerberg.

And I know what you're thinking...

I'm a disciplined, committed husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend. I wouldn't cheat on my partner because I love them and have the best of faithful intentions. I'm satisfied with my partner and the commitment I made to them is ultimately what keeps me loyal.

But this is naive, old-fashioned thinking and may very well NOT be enough.
