An in-depth look at the "goddesses" who have come and gone in Charlie Sheen's life.
Losing! Charlie Sheen certainly isn’t winning anymore. With the last of his “goddesses” gone, light -- err, tiger’s blood? -- has been shed once again on his tumultuous and not-so-private love life. The notorious “Two and a Half Men” star has certainly had an infamous year, and it’s been definitely hard to keep track not only of his outrageous one-liners, but more importantly, his web of romantic scandals. Lost already? Fear not! From Kelly Preston and Denise Richards to hookers and porn stars, YourTango revisits and highlights some of Sheen’s former, real-life leading ladies.
If you were in Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris' shoes, what would you do if you ran into your ex?
How would you react if you ran into your ex today? For Hugh Hefner, who's taken up with ex-fiancee's friend Anna Sophia Berglund just days after Harris called off their wedding, the goal is clearly to make Harris jealous.
Ex-boyfriend claims she killed their child; woman's friends say she had a miscarriage.
Anger and revenge can make people do some pretty outlandish things. If you're Greg Fultz, it'll push you to post a billboard that shows your ex just how you feel. When Fultz found out that his then-girlfriend had an abortion against his wishes, he decided to put up a billboard in Alamogordo, N.M., with a picture of him cradling an outline of an infant in his arms. To make it more hard-hitting, the sign reads, "This Would Have Been a Picture of My 2-month Old Baby if the Mother Had Decided Not to Kill Our Child!"
Being friends with an ex-husband or boyfriend is easier when you're older, but there are rules.
Once upon a time he may have been your knight in shining armor. But now that armor is tarnished. Or, if you didn't view him quite that romantically, at least he was Mr. Wonderful. But, as they say, that was then and this is now.
Sex with an ex will end with you feeling lonely and sad. Be careful what you settle for.
After a break-up it may be common to second guess yourself. You miss being held by your partner, you miss the smell of your partner, and you miss the sex with your partner. These feelings are so intense that you may find yourself in the position of seeking out your ex to try and make up. You may be trying to save the marriage before a divorce, or you may want to give the relationship a second start, but many times you want to be held and intimate with someone who knows your body, knows your past and has a history with you.
A new study shows nearly half of women wish they could redo a relationship.
The one that got away. That missed connection. The almost-love match... If you've ever experienced romantic regret, you have a whole lot of company. Researchers at the Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign recently surveyed 370 American adults, ages 19 to 103, about their biggest regrets in life. What did the participants most wish for? A love do-over.
Break Up With Your Ex: why cutting ties with your ex is so important.
Sure, it's time-consuming and awkward to unfriend your ex on Facebook, remove him from your chat list, or to tell him to stop contacting you. But if those things are keeping you from recovering, what's a half-hour of deleting and a couple weeks of awkwardness compared to months of perpetuated angst? Is electronically blocking someone so much worse than finding out via his Facebook newsfeed that he has a new girlfriend? To find out why cutting digital ties is necessary to heal and move on, we turned to the YourTango Experts. Here, then, are eight reasons you need to break up with your ex.
Unfriend, delete and block your ex by February 13.
Back in the day, breakups were easier: you took an ex's picture off the mantel, packed his stuff in a box, burned his letters, and tried to move on. Today, however, Facebook updates, Tweets, and Foursquare check-ins provide a constant stream of information about people, making a clean break almost impossible. Recognizing the value of being liberated from an old flame, we've declared February 13 as the first annual "Break Up With Your Ex" day.
