I know it's not easy living with me as your girlfriend. Although most of the time I'm awesome and you feel #blessed to have me, there are obviously a few things I could work on.

119 People Reveal How The Pandemic Has Affected Their Love Lives, And Honestly... Relatable
"I haven't been able to get out of the 'talking phase' with anyone."
29 July
The reality is, there's no part of life the pandemic hasn't affected. Whether it's your work life, your home life, your social life, or your love life, coronavirus (COVID-19) is wreaking havoc on just about everything — not to mention people's health.
When it comes to romance, in particular, people are all handling things differently and there's no "right way" of making it through, regardless of your relationship status (single, taken, married, divorced, you name it). So, some of Swoon's creators sought out to hear from various individuals on how exactly their love lives have been affected since quarantine began.
<p>Through six surveys, these creators gathered responses from 119 people — some in their 20s, some single, some in relationships, and some married. In the end, the results were mixed, but the overarching theme is that if you want love, you <em>definitely</em> have to put in extra effort to make relationships work during a pandemic, and that's not a job everyone wants right now.</p><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

<p>Those in their 20s were not shy to say exactly how they feel about love in quarantine and no matter if they were dating or not, the consensus seemed to be that the pandemic really isn't helping them out at all.</p><h3>For the full survey results conducted by <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/user/@charvontratt" target="_blank">Charlotte Trattner</a>, <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/how-pandemic-affected-romance" target="_blank">click here</a>.</h3>

<p>A majority of single women are just not finding love during the pandemic. Of course, not every single woman is searching for love while quarantined or social distancing. In fact, many are choosing to stay single and spend that extra "me time" growing as individuals. But, for those who are searching for love, it's TRICKY and COVID-19 is making it that much harder.</p><h3>For the full survey results conducted by <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/user/@briannacicero" target="_blank">Brianna Cicero</a>, <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/single-women-pandemic-love-lives" target="_blank">click here</a>.</h3>

<p>Like singles, couples are feeling negative effects on their relationships as well. For those who already lived together, being around each other 24/7 without any space to do your own thing once in a while can be difficult. For those who normally live separately but decided to quarantine together are now facing the newly living together challenges during an already difficult time. And lastly, for those who are quarantined or social distancing apart, finding ways to stay connected is tough. But, when you love someone, you make it work, right? Well, some women in relationships outlined the ways they're making their relationships work through the ups and downs.</p><h3>For the full survey results conducted by <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/user/@lexi-renea" target="_blank">Lexi Locke</a>, <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/women-relationships-affected-coronavirus" target="_blank">click here</a>.</h3>

<p>As if the pandemic alone isn't difficult enough to navigate as-is, an increasingly unsettling political climate doesn't make it any easier — particularly for BIPOC. So, when asked how being in interracial relationships has affected their partnerships and how the pandemic has affected those relationships as well, their responses highlighted the fact that racism and discrimination do not just disappear with a global health crisis... they get worse.</p><h3>For the full survey results conducted by <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/user/@jennik" target="_blank">Jennifer Kustanovich</a>, <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/pandemic-affected-biracial-couples/" target="_blank">click here</a>.</h3>

<p>Being a military spouse also has its own set of challenges, so couple those with the uncertainty of a pandemic and things could potentially be extra difficult.

I Recommend This $85 POC-Founded Hair Brush To Everyone — Here's Why It's Worth EVERY Penny
It replaces nearly three steps in my hair routine.
5h
- Though as a little girl, I had the silkiest, softest hair that would get compliments everywhere I went, since I turned about thirteen I've since had coarse, dry hair no amount of deep conditioning masks or sulfate-free shampoo could fix.
- I started using the Raincry's Condition Boar Bristle Brush several months ago, and while I noticed that my hair had been softer, silkier, and shinier than it had ever been, I didn't make the connection because I never thought a simple hairbrush could make any difference in my hair texture.
- I will be the first to admit that I thought it was ridiculous to spend nearly a hundred dollars on a hairbrush, but this one eliminates the need for me to use any heat tools or styling products on it.
- I put some oil or a serum in my hair when it's wet, brush my hair with the boar bristle brush once it's dry, and end up with the lowest maintenance, shiniest hair I've had since I was 8 years old.
<p>I've been using the off-brand hairbrush I picked up on sale at Target for years. I never really saw the point in investing in anything more and didn't think it would make any difference on my hair anyway. <br></p><p>As long as I had something to get the occasional knot out of my hair after washing it, I never felt the need for more. I don't have particularly tangly hair, so faced with the prospect of picking from an aisle of bristle types and shapes was daunting for me. I'd pick up the prettiest one with the most reasonable price and be on my way — till I tried the <a href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/raincry-condition-travel-pure-boar-bristle-brush/4808653?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBeauty%2FHair%20Care%2FHair%20Dryers%20%26%20Styling%20Tools&color=nonehttps://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=NNPLpRm9FIA&mid=1237&murl=http%3A%2F%2F" target="_blank">Raincry Condition Boar Bristle Brush</a> about five months ago.</p><p>My first encounter with the brand was meeting Toronto-based founder and celebrity hairstylist (you've definitely seen his red carpet looks), Feisal Qureshi at a panel on clean beauty last year. That's when I first learned about the <a href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/raincry-condition-travel-pure-boar-bristle-brush/4808653?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBeauty%2FHair%20Care%2FHair%20Dryers%20%26%20Styling%20Tools&color=nonehttps://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=NNPLpRm9FIA&mid=1237&murl=http%3A%2F%2F" target="_blank">boar bristle hairbrush</a> with a serious cult following. </p><p>Funny enough, the brush — handmade in France — was invented on accident. Qureshi simply wanted to make a high-quality, high-performance brush that actually added value to the hair. This one does that and so much more.</p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646873233-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</div></p><p>I was using this for months, and while I noticed that my hair was truly softer and shinier than it had ever been, it took me longer than it should have to put things together. I was out of town for two weeks without the <a href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/raincry-condition-travel-pure-boar-bristle-brush/4808653?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBeauty%2FHair%20Care%2FHair%20Dryers%20%26%20Styling%20Tools&color=nonehttps://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=NNPLpRm9FIA&mid=1237&murl=http%3A%2F%2F" target="_blank">Raincry hairbrush</a> and my hair was almost immediately lackluster and dry.</p><h3>How I Use It</h3><p>There are two different ways I use this: after washing my hair when it's about 90 percent dry, and before bed when it's feeling a little oily.</p><p>For the latter, I wash my hair regularly and once it's about half dry, I apply a hair oil, serum, or both depending on how dry my hair is feeling. After about 10 minutes, once my hair is almost completely air-dried, I'll brush through my hair to make sure the product in it is evenly spread out. </p><p><div class="js--ga-impression-newsletter-cta-content">

That's the key with <a href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/raincry-condition-travel-pure-boar-bristle-brush/4808653?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FBeauty%2FHair%20Care%2FHair%20Dryers%20%26%20Styling%20Tools&color=nonehttps://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=NNPLpRm9FIA&mid=1237&murl=http%3A%2F%2F" target="_blank">this hairbrush</a> — the unique format and handmade boar bristles are expertly crafted to distribute our natural and applied oils throughout the hair evenly.</p><p>When my hair is feeling a bit lackluster or dry, I'll brush through it about forty times (or till I get impatient) and I swear it looks like I got a salon blowout. I don't heat style my hair nearly as much as I used to — it used to be an essential in my hair routine — but on the rare occasion that I do, I'll brush this through my hair, and it won't ruin my style one bit.

What Your Favorite Rom-Com Says About You And Your Dream Guy
These movies are always there for us when we need them.

YouTube
Bingeing a romantic comedy is always a good idea, and during this pandemic, these movies bring us one of the only elements of romance we can get. Through all the break-ups, obstacles, and struggles in our love lives, romantic comedies have always been there to make us laugh and keep us company while we cry.
While we love these movies for the beyond gorgeous male love interests, the female protagonists are still the ones we always remember. Although rom-coms are far from reality, it is always fun to imagine what our life would be like if a cinematic studio was behind our love life. So what does your favorite romantic comedies say about your dream guy?

<p>In a movie, nothing beats an attractive Heath Ledger singing with a marching band, but in reality, I think this would make me highly embarrassed. If this movie fits the bill for your favorite, you are a dedicated feminist with a tendency to lean toward wild and daring bad boys. </p>

<p>"What, like it's hard?" If you find yourself constantly replaying this movie then you never let anything stand in your way. You dream big and never listen to any of the naysayers. You follow your heart and that heart often leads you to kind-hearted and intelligent men. Sometimes, the guy of your dreams is right in front of your eyes helping you achieve your dreams.</p>

<p>If you love this movie then you are probably the resident "how to" girl of your friends, you work hard in both your professional and personal life taking care of everyone. You are a bit of a game player, but that's only because you refuse to settle for anything less than you know you deserve. You make people, both friends and relationships, work hard and prove they are in it for the long haul. But you and your dream guy probably like to do your own thing but respect those stereotypical relationship tropes and secretly love them.</p>

<p>If you can get over the whole "she fell in love with her step-brother thing," this movie is still pretty good and it isn't just because the clothes are amazing. Although you may not be falling head over heels for your adopted sibling, you probably identify with Cher and her well-meaning but often short-sighted intentions. Your heart is always in the right place and you say what is on your mind. In reality, I think we all need to channel our inner-Cher at times. </p>

<p>Does anyone do romantic comedies better than Nora Ephron? I don't think so. This movie brought up the question we are all still trying to answer, can men and women be friends without it being awkward? If this movie is your favorite then you're probably missing out on what is right in front of you. In reality, I think we all hope all rocky starts can turn into true love, and we have this movie to blame. </p>

<p>If this movie is your favorite it's because you recognize the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone and doing your own thing. Your family can make things pretty crazy, but it all comes from a deep place of love. Although it can seem like they are meddling in your love life, they do have your best interests at heart and know when someone isn't good enough for you. If you find yourself watching this movie over and over with your guy, it's probably because you recognize the two of you in the main characters. You may have met accidentally, and despite all the crazy curveballs life threw your way, you always come back stronger. </p>

AriZona Just Dropped Hard Iced Tea In Canada And I'm Cancelling All Plans To Go On A Road Trip
I am impatiently waiting for a US drop date.

As any poor college student, a little kick of caffeine for less than a dollar has always sounded great to me. So, naturally, AriZona Iced Tea has been a go-to for as long as I can remember.
<p><strong>An American gas-station staple, AriZona Iced Tea has always been the best road trip essential. <br></strong></p><p>They have many options, but the raspberry tea, Arnold Palmer, and green tea are my favorite by far. And did you know they have a <a href="https://drinkarizona.com/" target="_blank">website where you can buy the tea, snacks, AND merch</a>?! </p><p>After watching an influencer unbox her PR package on TikTok, I decided I NEEDED to find out where to get this spiked iced tea beauty ASAP. </p><p class="media-headline"><br></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-proxy-image">

19 NBA Players You'll DEFINITELY Want To Shoot Your Shot With Now That Basketball Is Back
Their skills and looks make them a solid A+.
7h
The NBA is back, and for basketball fans, like myself, it has been the BEST news we have heard since COVID-19 shutdown play indefinitely. I mean, come on, we need to see if James Harden can once again perform so well he has back-to-back 50 point games, Kawhi can lead another team to the championship title, and whether Giannis is going to be back-to-back MVP... among like 500 other things running through our heads!
In the midst of all of the amazing statistics and records that these players are breaking, though, we also just love the NBA because well, there are some pretty good looking guys out there. Here are the 19 hottest NBA players (in no particular order) you would totally let slam dunk on you now that the NBA has returned.

<p>Doncic is only 21 and already taking over the league! He is incredibly talented, and while I may not be a coach, I have a good feeling this is only the beginning for him!</p>

<p>If you haven't seen Butler's latest commercial, you're seriously missing out. But, don't worry, it's linked above for your viewing pleasure. Jimmy <a href="https://homeofplaymakers.com/sports/basketball/jimmy-butlers-story-from-a-homeless-kid-to-an-nba-all-star/" target="_blank">has overcome a lot of hardships</a> to be where he is now as one of the best players in the NBA. Personally, he's one of my favorite players, and I can't get enough of this new commercial showing off his true self. (@ Jimmy, if you need a singing partner, I'm here.)</p>

<p>While Kawhi is pretty quiet on and off the court, his skills and abilities speak for themselves. He is an insanely talented player, and when you catch a glimpse of his smile, his love for the game and life just radiates off of him. Kawhi was the first player I really started to follow, and he's the reason I started to get into the NBA!</p>

Everything You Need To Know About Macronutrients, Because A Diet Should Be More Than Calories
Pay attention to what you're eating, not just how much you're eating.
9h
Plenty of people are familiar with the "calories in, calories out" (CICO) method of dieting which can be used for losing, gaining, or maintaining weight. This method relies on calculating a person's total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) to ensure that they are not overeating or undereating to achieve their desired weight. TDEE considers a person's height, weight, age, gender, and level of activity to determine what their caloric intake should be — some calculators can factor in body fat percentage as well. When I used a TDEE calculator online, it said that my TDEE would be 1,990 calories if I was trying to maintain my weight, but are all calories created equal? I'd argue that they're not.
It might seem obvious to some of you that 1,990 calories of macaroni and cheese are not healthy at all compared to 1,990 calories of varied foods (fruit, veggies, meat, bread, etc.).
<p>However, people who swear by CICO might not agree with that statement because according to CICO, as long as you are in a caloric deficit (burning more calories than you're consuming) then you should lose weight. Despite being in a caloric deficit, the diet composed of macaroni and cheese doesn't have a good source of fiber or protein and is extremely heavy on carbs and fat. Our bodies need more than just carbs and fat to get us through the day, which is what makes macro-tracking so important.</p><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>
<div class="rebellt-item col1" id="rebelltitem1" data-id="1" data-reload-ads="false" data-is-image="False" data-href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/everything-you-need-to-know-macros/fats-are-really-just-misunderstood" data-basename="fats-are-really-just-misunderstood" data-post-id="2646864686" data-published-at="1596471478" data-use-pagination="False">
<h2 data-role="headline">
Fats are really just misunderstood.
</h2>
<p>There are tons of foods at the grocery store that say "reduced-fat" or "20 percent less fat" as a marketing ploy to make them seem healthier. Unfortunately reducing the amount of fat in a product doesn't make it inherently healthy because fat isn't inherently unhealthy, although it is important to limit the amount of saturated fat we consume. According to <a href="https://mynutrition.wsu.edu/nutrition-basics" target="_blank">Washington State University</a>, for the average person, 20-35 percent of your daily calories should come from fat. Additionally, its role in the body is storing energy reserves, transporting fat-soluble vitamins, protecting vital organs, and insulation. However, it's important to note that only 10 percent should come from saturated fat (butter, coconut oil, full-fat dairy) so it's not a free-for-all.</p>
</div>

<h2 data-role="headline">
Carbohydrates are controversial.
</h2>
<p>With the craze of <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/keto-is-unsafe" target="_blank">the keto diet</a> and the myriad of other low-carb diets that promise fast weight loss, carbs can be quite the conversation starter. Here's the thing: our bodies NEED carbs. Carbs fuel our body during high-intensity exercise, they spare proteins that preserve muscle mass during exercise, and they fuel our brains! Carbohydrates are so important to our health, and it's safe to say that carbs shouldn't be demonized. In fact, they're so important that the recommended daily allowance of carbs is 40-50 percent of a sedentary individual's caloric intake, with the amount of recommended carbs increasing with the person's activity level. Some healthier sources of carbs are grains, dairy, and fruit. </p>
</div>
<div class="rebellt-item col1" id="rebelltitem3" data-id="3" data-reload-ads="false" data-is-image="False" data-href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/everything-you-need-to-know-macros/protein-is-crucial" data-basename="protein-is-crucial" data-post-id="2646864686" data-published-at="1596471478" data-use-pagination="False">
<h2 data-role="headline">
Protein is crucial.
</h2>
<p>When compared with the previous macros, proteins are viewed neutrally at worst, and positively at best. If you're into bodybuilding then you know what a vital role protein plays in preserving muscles during exercise as I mentioned before, but perhaps if you're not that into fitness then proteins might not seem that important. However inconsequential proteins might seem to non-body builders, they're vital to our tissue structure, metabolism, and the pH balance within our bodies. The recommended allowance of protein is highly variable and depends on both weight and activity level. Other than meat, good sources of protein include legumes, soy, lentils, nuts, whole grains, and seeds.</p>

</div></p><p>To be clear, I think that CICO is a wonderful, necessary tool when trying to achieve certain health goals. However, CICO by itself isn't enough as demonstrated by my earlier example – again, 1,900 calories in macaroni and cheese aren't the same as 1,900 calories of a balanced diet. While you might lose weight in a caloric deficit doing only CICO, you could potentially be doing harm by losing muscle mass or depriving yourself of vital fuel like carbs. As I said before, macro-tracking isn't one-size-fits-all. Your activity level, lifestyle, and goals will determine what your breakdown will be. Additionally, if you have a history of disordered eating, macro-tracking might not be the best choice for you as it could exacerbate the tendency to obsess over numbers and portion sizes. </p><p>Whatever you choose to do, please always consult a doctor or dietitian before making any large changes to your diet or lifestyle.<br></p><div class="post-pager js-listicle-pager" data-listicle-style="" data-async_load_parameters="platform=desktop&display_ads=1&settings=%7B%22enter_url%22%3A+null%2C+%22no_post_section%22%3A+null%2C+%22ads_breaks%22%3A+%5B3%5D%2C+%22prevent_last_break_repetition%22%3A+false%2C+%22use_numeration%22%3A+false%2C+%22show_columns_on_mobile%22%3A+null%2C+%22ads_order%22%3A+%5B3%2C+3%2C+3%2C+3%2C+3%5D%2C+%22turn_into_posts%22%3A+null%2C+%22list_breaks%22%3A+null%2C+%22reorder_voting%22%3A+null%2C+%22cooldown_in_seconds%22%3A+null%2C+%22pagination_order%22%3A+null%2C+%22source%22%3A+%22engine_settings%22%2C+%22next_post_url%22%3A+null%2C+%22up_down_voting%22%3A+false%2C+%22allow_url_change%22%3A+null%2C+%22numeration_sort%22%3A+-1%2C+%22allow_url_update%22%3A+null%2C+%22use_pagination%22%3A+false%2C+%22body_text_above%22%3A+false%2C+%22use_ads%22%3A+true%2C+%22items_as_posts%22%3A+false%2C+%22multiple_answers%22%3A+null%2C+%22no_redirect%22%3A+null%2C+%22is_guest_voting_allowed%22%3A+null%2C+%22layout_type%22%3A+null%7D">

Just Because You're Asked To Be In A Wedding, Doesn't Always Mean You Should Say Yes
If you can't invest time, money, and YOURSELF, maybe say no to the offer for the bride's sake!
11h
Eko Agalarov from Pexels
Being in a wedding is a really big commitment. I personally think if you've never been in one before, you don't understand the time, money, and energy that goes into being a part of it.
<p>It's an honor, MOST DEFINITELY, but it's an honor for a reason. You're expected to contribute, and I think a lot of times girls just want the title of bridesmaid without having the responsibility that follows. </p><p>So before automatically saying yes because you're flattered, try to ask yourself if you're ready, willing, and able to put into it what the bride expects because if not, it could be a seriously bumpy road for the Bride, yourself, and your friendship!</p><p>Are you financially able to be in a wedding right now? If you're a bridesmaid, you can expect to spend money on the following: </p> <ul class="ee-ul"><li>Bridal shower gift</li> <li>Your dress for the wedding</li> <li>Hair and makeup for the wedding</li> <li>Food and booze for yourself for the bachelorette party</li> <li>Money for the bride and groom for the wedding </li> <li>Dress alterations</li> <li>And even more, depending on the type of wedding you're in!</li><li>If you're a maid of honor, expect to spend money on the same, but also to cover a lot (if not all) of the bachelorette decorations, bride tribe goodie baskets, bridal shower decorations, and more!</li></ul> <p>For me, I was READY and WILLING to contribute this because my best friend was getting married and I wanted her to be the happiest girl in the WORLD, but some people don't understand that this is the norm and expected from them. </p><p>If you are not in a good position to shell out money for a wedding, it might be best for you to explain this to the bride, and just say that it would be for the best if your spot was given to someone else who is able to contribute. This will help the bride in the long run and save her a bunch of stress. In a lot of situations though, the bride is more concerned you have the TIME to spend over the money. Not everything has to be pricey! You can get away with a lot of pretty things for a cheap price. You just have to have the TIME to do it! </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646870733-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot(window._sectionAndPostAdSettings+'/feed_1x1', [1, 1], 'div-gpt-2646870733-content-ad').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2646870733-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><p>Like I said, time is extremely important. Expect for yours to be devoted to A LOT of the wedding. Let's get this straight... everyone is busy. Everyone has either school, work, relationships, pets, medical issues, family issues, traveling engagements, etc. but if you feel like this could take away from the time you can put into a wedding: DON'T AGREE TO BE IN THE WEDDING.</p><p><div class="js--ga-impression-newsletter-cta-content">

</div></p><p>Do not make the bride feel bad for obligations you can't prioritize correctly. If you know the entire duration of her wedding planning will be spent at a job, let another friend have your spot in the wedding who can contribute to the bridesmaid's duties. Because if you don't, that's unfair to the rest of the girls, and it's unfair to the bride as well! (Now, if you are upfront with the bride before and she still wants you to be in her wedding, that's a completely different ball game). </p><p><strong>Also, ask yourself this: are you in a position in your life to treat the bride with 100 percent respect and have no envious feelings toward her?</strong></p><p>If you feel like you'd be a bridesmaid who would start issues of something as small as not liking the dress you're supposed to wear maybe being a bridesmaid isn't really for you. One of the biggest things a bride wants to feel during her wedding process is a stress-free mindset. That's REALLY hard to do if you have bridesmaids making the process more difficult. If you're known to stress people out, take that into consideration and just pass on the opportunity. </p><p>It's sometimes hard to hear because we want to believe that we'll be in a wedding that will be super simple and involve no stress, but that normally is never the case. There is a lot that's involved with the wedding process and by choosing you to be a part of it, the bride is saying she trusts you enough to be a huge part of her day/life.</p><p>So before you actually commit to this HUGE part of a person's life, please please PLEASE for the love of God make sure you are ready and able to put time, money, and YOURSELF into it. It will not only save the bride's wedding day but it could save your friendship as well. </p><p>Lastly, should you choose to accept the title, make sure the bride doesn't have to hassle you to do your job. If you're not contributing at all and it seems like the bride is constantly having to reach out to you for support, you're clearly doing something wrong. Don't expect her to put in more effort toward your wedding than you're doing for hers. If you choose to go ahead and be in her wedding while not prioritizing her day, please just anticipate her doing the same for you because you get what you give. </p><p>If you give nothing, you can't always expect to get something. </p><p><strong></strong><em><strong>Follow Swoon on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/odysseyswoon/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</strong></em><br></p>

Remember how the Latin world got rocked when Ricky Martin came out?

Some people thought they suspected all along

Others didn't care or shamed him for his identity

But you, little closeted one, you saw it as a chance to be yourself

As you grew older, you recognized the uneven balance within your culture
</p><p>
The machismo trends and female submission
</p><p>
You realized that gay men were accepted more than sapphic women
</p><p>
For us women had to carry on the bloodline, and that wouldn't work out if you married another woman
</p><p>
You stood in the shadows as your drunk tias y tios spoke out against homosexuality, calling it every name in the book
</p><p>
You thought about the girl who gave you butterflies and figured it had to be a phase
</p><p>
<br>
</p><p>
Then you realized it wasn't a phase after all
</p><p>
As women became more and more appealing to you
</p><p>
But Tio Fulano said that gays were causing the end of the world
</p><p>
And Tia Altagracia said that they were disgusting and immoral
</p><p>
You wonder why a generation that came from an affair had any right to judge those who loved differently
</p><p>
You wonder why a culture whose main flaws were over-drinking and infidelity had any right to speak out against a community whose main label is love

You saw gay Latinos openly out with their families and felt jealous

You cried when you heard "No Tiene La Culpa" by Romeo Santos
</p><p>
<br>
</p><p>
Then came the day when you told your mom you wouldn't be closed off to the idea of girls
</p><p>
You might as well have never said a word and told her to forget it
</p><p>
So you kept your feelings inside, threatening to tear your heart apart
</p><p>
You watched as Elena's father abandoned her at her Quinceañera after he found out she was lesbian

Chiquita, I see you
</p><p>
Chiquita, I hear you

So many of us are trapped inside a glass closet
</p><p>
It is too delicate to break, so you stay inside
</p><p>
Peering at the outside world and those free to be themselves
</p><p>
You attend your first Pride Parade and never feel more accepted and happy to be among those just like you

You are valid

Your emotions are real and pure

The Unspoken Truth About The Vicious Cycle Of Cheating, And How The Played Becomes The Player
What does the person who was cheated on do to never get hurt again?
02 August
First, let's talk about some reasons people cheat in relationships in the first place:
1. They have low self-esteem.
Are you feeling like you are not good enough? Do you feel like you are not attractive enough? Feeling as if you are not worth the love can lead to self-sabotage.
<h2>2. They're bored and want variety.</h2><p>Things became boring in the bedroom? Did the conversations become boring? These are all things that can lead to a significant other looking for these types of entertainment from another. </p><h2>3. They've fallen out of love.</h2><p>Did you come to the realization that your partner was no longer the person that you wanted to spend your life with? This can lead a significant other into the arms of someone new. </p><h2>4. They have the opportunity to.</h2><p>Despite never thinking of cheating on your significant other, you have found yourself at a party and an incredibly attractive individual is coming onto you. This is one example of how an opportunity can arise, and it is not stopped. </p><h2>5. They are angry and/or want revenge.</h2><p>Has a previous partner cheated on you and left you wanting to hurt someone the same way? These are all negative feelings and experiences that can lead you to hurt somebody in the same way that you have been hurt. </p><h2>6. They have commitment issues.</h2><p>Are you still damaged from your previous ex? Have you been led to believe that you are not good enough? Have you been played/cheated on multiple times? These are all things that can lead to not trusting anyone enough to be loyal to them. <br></p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646392826-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot(window._sectionAndPostAdSettings+'/feed_1x1', [1, 1], 'div-gpt-2646392826-content-ad').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2646392826-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><h3>Now, let's talk about how being cheated on can actually lead to you being more likely to cheat on somebody.</h3><p>This is not a discussion that has a simple answer, but one of the easiest ways to explain it is that every reason listed above gets projected onto the one who was played, often making them want to become the player. </p><p>Being cheated on not only leads to tremendous amounts of trust issues and self-worth doubts, but it can lead to the person who was cheated on feeling as if they do not deserve love. This is because they may ask themselves, "If I did deserve love, then why did they go for somebody else?"</p><p><div class="js--ga-impression-newsletter-cta-content">

</div></p><p>The individual who was cheated on will no longer be willing to fall easily and will likely struggle with trust issues — as well as commitment issues — for a long time after being hurt.</p><p><strong>What does all of this have to do with the played becoming the player?</strong></p><p>All of these internal issues, as well as potential PTSD and/or trauma that was caused by either the relationship, the relationship ending, or both, can lead to the individual who was cheated on getting in the mindset that love is not real. </p><p>Giving your all to somebody just for them to rip it up, throw it away, and give the pieces to someone new can lead an individual to never want to experience that type of pain ever again.</p><p><strong>So what do they do to make sure that it never happens? They cheat!</strong></p><p>They cheat on whoever is next. </p><p>They do not do this because they want to hurt anybody, they do this because they have been shown the worst of a person, and they have seen all of their love go down the drain. This will make it incredibly hard for them to trust anybody ever in the way they trusted the one who cheated on them. </p><p>This is, of course, the case until they learn to find themselves again and can learn that one bad experience does not mean giving up on love and running away from people who give them any amount of love is how you should live your life. </p><p>This step is the hardest step to reach, but once you realize that hurting people in the way that you were hurt is not how you live a happy life, you can take steps forward.</p><p>P.S. This article does not condone cheating in any way, and being cheated on can lead to PTSD, trauma, and many other mental health issues. Cheating should never be an option, but this is the unspoken truth about the cycle that cheating does have.</p><p><strong></strong><em><strong>Follow Swoon on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/odysseyswoon/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</strong></em><br></p>
