Editorial Standards
Things I Wish Someone Told Me is built around a simple promise: give people something more useful than another page of relationship advice. That requires clarity about who creates the work, how claims are handled and what the material can and cannot do.
Every article, book, assessment and course is designed to help a reader understand a real relationship decision, pattern or conversation. We do not publish material simply because a topic is trending or because a keyword has search volume.
Where a claim depends on research, psychology, statistics, law, finance or another specialist field, we aim to use credible primary or expert sources and distinguish established evidence from interpretation, experience and opinion.
The material on this site is relationship education. It is not therapy and it does not replace medical, mental-health, legal or financial advice. When a subject needs qualified professional support, we say so rather than pretending an article can do that job.
Published material is not treated as untouchable. We may revise an article when better evidence, clearer language, reader feedback or a material change makes an update worthwhile. Meaningful changes should improve the page, not merely make it look newer.
Who is responsible
Evan Evans is the author and relationship educator behind the series. Technology-assisted workflows may be used to support research organisation, editing, formatting, production or quality checks, but published material is reviewed and approved under Evan's name. Tools do not replace editorial responsibility.
How we handle uncertainty
We separate practical frameworks from clinical claims.
We avoid presenting a personal viewpoint as settled research.
We prefer direct language about limitations rather than false precision.
We do not manufacture reviews, testimonials, research findings or credentials.
