About Me — Bethany Nicole
Love It Or Leave It
All is fair in love and war right? Wrong. I am an LA based author and freelance writer, here to set the dating and relationship record straight.
My Work
I began my journey in Austin, Texas where I garnered both the idea and most of the filling, for my book, Apologies I Never Got. Apologies I Never Got, is a book of dating and relationship horror stories, phrased as apologies you never got, from the people who never gave them to you.
So often in life, we don’t get the apologies we deserve, so I introduce a new way to heal, by giving them to yourself. In the book, I organize all the horror stories aka apologies, into categories and deep dive into the relationship issues that underlie them. Think: love languages, attachment theory, gaslighting, ghosting..Oh My!
Now I come to you live from the City of Angels, Los Angeles, California. In my writing and articles I touch on toxic dating, toxic masculinity and the cures for all the toxicity seeping into our daily dating lives. I even take it back to the basics with Dating 101: First Date Red Flags and First Date Green Flags, which goes into how to tell if the date is going really well, or if you should cut your losses. I talk about how to tell if a relationship is worth the effort, and what dating deal breakers are.
So do we love it…or leave it? Read my work to find out.

My Mission
I write to serve. My degree is in Philosophy and that is how I see the world, through questions and upside down perspectives. Think, coming out of the cave, walking on my hands aspects. I look around and see the things in dating and relationships we so often take for granted as facts, as complete fiction. We don’t have to allow things that don’t make us feel good, we don’t have to settle, and we don’t have to be a party to any relationship that does not serve our highest good. I want to make people question the known and form their own wonderful viewpoints.
Our entire stabilization, is based on the relationships we have; with ourselves, our partners, our parents, our friends. Learning how to have healthy and balanced relationships, is a sure fire way to make this world we live in, a far better place. When people are in happy and successful relationships, they can go out into the world and be happy and successful humans. They are able to embrace their creativity, their truest sense of self, and from their solid foundation, they are able to truly grow and thrive. My hope is to present these concepts, so that hopefully people can integrate them into their own lives and relationships, and find their way to a full, happy and creatively successful life, whatever that looks like to them.
On A Personal Note
I am a girl of simple pleasures: beaches, brunches and ocean breezes. I love a good book and a cozy couch, or a glass of champagne and heels for a night on the town. I am the proud pet owner of two lovely little fur children, my 5 year old retired racing Greyhound, Atlas Mae Elizabeth Barton and a 7 year old hell on wheels orange cat, named Biscuit. Biscuit James Barton Esq. to be exact. Both are lovely little additions to my life and bring me joy and laughter every day.
I am also all about the spiritual. I am a daily meditator, yoga enthusiast and general spirituality and metaphysics fiend in general. I do Tarot readings and often use the cards in doing relationship readings for individuals and couples. It’s a fun and interesting way to add a component of the magical, to my daily work. Check out my website and Instagram for weekly relationship readings!
