Five differences you may share with your significant other that don't have to be dealbreakers. Different music taste, intellectual tastes, friend tastes, spending/saving tastes and style tastes.
Well, we all have one: One friend who we think is in a terrible relationship. Her husband or boyfriend is a complete jerk and treats her terribly. He makes jokes at her expense, calls her names—he even argues with her in front of friends. It's hard for you to understand what it is she sees in him, but it's even harder for you to witness it without wanting to say something to her. What's worse is that you do love your friend, but you feel like you have to avoid social situations—being around the two of them is uncomfortable for everyone (not to mention, you and your husband have your own issues—why do you want witness them arguing?!)
A lot of celebrities have recently been putting on friendly faces when their exes come around (Kendra Wilkinson and Hugh Hefner, Madonna and Guy Ritchie, Mandy Moore and DJ AM, and Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, to name just a few). And many of us non-celebrities have, at one point or another, dumped someone with the parting words: "We can still be friends." But let's be realistic for a moment, shall we? There's no such thing as being "just friends" with an ex. Here's why.
You know what else is funny about people you haven’t seen in a while? I was just talking to Suzanne, a friend I hadn’t heard from in months, and she busted out the "we." As in, "We’re great. He’s off to London tomorrow, so I’m trying to plan my weekend." I was like, "We? He?" It’s a little annoying when acquaintances bust out the "we" without first mentioning or naming the boyfriend.

Imagine falling for someone you've barely met let alone never seen? This is not the premise for a faceless Facebook application. It's the new Fox reality television show titled, "I Married a Stranger."
The Telegraph reported that in a study carried out by psychologists at Northumbria University in Britain, women were found to rate men with stubble as, "tough, mature, aggressive, dominant, and masculine – and as the best romantic partners, either for a fling or a long-term relationship."Read: Stubble: The Best of Both Worlds But this study only asked women about men who shave their faces clean of hair (or the ones can't grow any hair to begin with), the rugged man who always has a little bit of stubble and guys who sport full-on beards. It left out one of the most important facial features a man can create, style and show off: the mustache. Given the options the study provided, it's no surprise females preferred men who groom their faces to resemble the hottest TV hunks like Matthew Fox (Jack) and Josh Holloway (Sawyer) from Lost and Patrick Dempsey (McDreamy) from Grey's Anatomy.
Poll: Do You Care If His Best Friend Is A Woman?: Yes. There must be non-platonic feelings buried somewhere No. I trust him. Plus, if she's cool, maybe she'll be my best friend too. Kinda. I don't want to mind, but I can't help being bothered by it.
Poll: Do You Tend To Ignore Your Friends When Starting A New Relationship?: Um...maybe. But only during the first few weeks. Never. Your friends will always be there for you, who knows how long he'll be around? Sometimes, depending on how much I like the guy.
