It's Thursday, which, in my opinion, is often referred to as Mini Friday. In other words, it's the perfect excuse to have a drink. Heading into work on a hungover Friday always feels fine, as you can already feel the weekend coming. Do you have a drink planned today? If so — and if you don't know — ask for that person’s birthdate, because then you'll know right away if it's going to be a good night. Yes, this too is written in the stars. 1. Gemini If you're in the mood to hear the juiciest stories, you need to get a Gemini drunk — all the tea will be spilled. There's a good chance you’ll become best friends afterward because Geminis bond mainly through communication — and there’s no off switch when a Gemini has had a drink. The day after might not be as fun, due to both the hangover and the fact that several secrets may have been revealed… But hey, you’ll have made a friend for life. 2. Libra If you're in need of some love and affection, you should have a drink with a Libra. They tend to get all cuddly when drunk, and it’s very likely they’ll tell you how much they love you after a few too many drinks. Have you known them for only five minutes? Doesn't matter; you'll get that love declaration anyway. 3. Sagittarius Drink + Sagittarius = guaranteed party. Because when a Sagittarius starts feeling the alcohol, they want to dance, sing, and most importantly: NOT go home. So, if you planned on having just one drink, you’re probably going to end up rolling out of a club at 4 AM. But at least you’ll have had a blast.

You know what they say: once a cheater, always a cheater. One of the few sayings I actually do believe in — but cheating isn’t always that black and white. New research has shown that there are several signs before actual cheating occurs that already indicate something shady may be going on. Warning: these signs can also appear in the most stable relationships. According to this new study, cheating is merely one of the symptoms of a relationship heading in the wrong direction. Alright, we probably already knew that, right? Often, something’s already off, and that’s why certain needs are sought elsewhere. But that wasn’t even the most surprising conclusion from the study, which followed nearly a thousand people in Germany. They were tracked for eight (holy shit — imagine saying ‘yes’ to that) years in their relationships. So, what was the surprising conclusion? That cheating doesn’t necessarily make the relationship worse — instead, it often exposes the problems that were already there. And those existing issues can often stay under the radar — until it’s too late. According to researchers, you should especially be alert during or right after major life changes in a relationship. This could be a move, a new job, or even — unfortunately — an upcoming wedding. When these events are accompanied by more friction, more arguments, and a decrease in overall relationship satisfaction, it’s time to ring the alarm and start a conversation, before it’s too late. Also noteworthy: relationships in which cheating occurred often ended afterward (no surprise there), but if it was the woman who cheated, there was a significantly higher chance that the infidelity would be forgiven.
