"Can I Trust Him About the Future?"

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our community.

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our community. Add your advice in the comments!

I've been with someone for about six months now, and things have been going well. He's affectionate, caring, and respectful. The thing is, I get nervous when he starts talking about the future. Our future. He talks of how he's never felt this way before and marriage and so on. Which all sounds great, but I've been with men in the past who have said the exact same lines, only to find out that those lines were empty and meaningless. So I'm definitely jaded. Should I take what my current BF says with a grain of salt? How do I know when someone actually means what they say?

Look of the Day: Belt It Up

A belt can tie together a whole look.

A belt can tie together a whole look. Case in point: community member RuedeMoi's outfit of chic separates. She cleverly concealed where her black blouse-y top got tucked into her beige midi skirt with a black-and-gold studded belt, which gave her look added definition at the waist. An outfit's nothing without a pop of color, and her rounded-toe heels in a red floral print added the perfect chromatic burst while keeping the overall tone of her belted ensemble feminine and sophisticated.

Congrats, RuedeMoi!

Is Sexsomnia Real?

We're happy to present this article from our partner site Yahoo! Shine:

We've all heard of sleepwalking. And there are plenty of people who talk in their sleep, or even eat in their sleep. But having sex in your sleep and not remembering a thing about it afterward?

Also on Shine: 7 Tips to Encourage Better Sleep

Earlier this week, Andrew Machin, 40, was acquitted of raping a 21-year-old three years ago after the court determined that he had been asleep when he assaulted her. Though he agreed that the victim had been drinking and had not consented to having sex, he also argued that he had a 25-year history of sleep disorders, including having sex with his long-time partner while asleep, and he was "disgusted" when he woke up and realized what had happened.

As we move into the balmy days of Summer, we're always in search of those chic looks that will help us stay cool. Enter community member houseofjeffers's breezy look. Her sleeveless silky blouse, lightly tucked into her diaphanous fishtail polka-dot skirt, created a perfectly polished look for those scorching Summer days. A shining silver cuff added personality and shine to her cool look for hot days, while ankle-strap heels finished her outfit off with added height.

Congrats, houseofjeffers!
