Dating After Divorce With Kids Isn’t Easy When They Refuse To Accept It

She started telling me how she’s been divorced for a couple years and recently met a man she is falling in love […]
In focus: Should City firms cut ties with fossil fuel giants?
On a rainy day in February 2020, a group of Extinction Rebellion campaigners wearing hazmat suits lay on the pavement in front of Slaughter and May’s London office. The soggy scene was staged in protest against the firm’s decision to represent fossil fuel companies, namely energy giant Premier Oil. Next week, the climate group is expected to target the legal sector again, claiming that City firms are ‘critical enablers of the carbon economy’ and are ‘knowingly investing in the destruction of the conditions which make the planet habitable’.

Regretting a Breakup? Advice for Second Thoughts and Doubts

In other words, I believe that breakups in long-term relationships always consist of trying again. Why? Because regretting a breakup is normal. There is love there, and longevity, kids possibly, and the biggest reason: people don’t want to be divorced and/or single again. But there’s another reason why I think regretting a breakup frequently happens, and that people usually get back together […]
