It's time to unfriend, unfollow and delete your ex from your life.
When it comes to bad break ups, we've all been there—curled up on the couch with a bottle of wine, crying while we look through internet pictures of our ex, seemingly happier without us. The internet, for the most part, sucks for the broken-hearted. Facebook, twitter, and blogs provide an all-too-tempting outlet to obsess over pictures of your ex and desperately scan his status updates for any sign that he is missing you.
Sometimes you have to choose between your partner and your pooch.
This week on the Ask YourTango forum, katgut writes, "My boyfriend HATES [my] little [terrier]. He gets upset because I refuse to leave the dog at home on the weekends when we go out during the day. It seems unfair to [me] because I work on weekdays and my dog is at home by himself, so I want to spend time with him on the weekends. Why can't my boyfriend understand this[?] He's not a dog hater, but he just won't accept that my dog is part of the family. Is this a sign of future problems?
Seventy percent of American men, ages 18-34, look at online porn. So, from a sheer numbers perspective, it seems that it is normal for guys to look at porn. But just because something is normal, does that make it okay?
That's the question brought up by one reader, who writes, "I looked at our browser history and it looks like my boyfriend is on porn sites almost every night after I go to bed. Should I be upset? I feel like him watching porn is a rejection of me. I mean, if he wants more sex, why can't he just ask?
Is texting normal or is it a sign there is something wrong?
If you aren't texting, then you probably aren't talking to any 16-year-olds. Or most people for that matter. Texting, whether you like it or not, is now a way of life. However, as with all good things—hamburgers, the sun and Ryan Gosling—sometimes too much exposure can cause cancer. Or at least some relational difficulty.
If you unfollowed, unfriended and deleted your ex from your life, we want to hear from you.
Last year, we asked everyone to unfollow, unfriend and delete their ex from their life. We called it the "Break Up With Your Ex" campaign and it did so welll that we had thousands of people on Facebook participate and Time, Mashable and The Today Show covered the campaign. This year we are at it again with a brand new campaign, brand new stories, statistics and contests, and this time we want to hear from you.
Is it normal to be paranoid when your partner visits a strip club?
Sometimes the weird things that happen in relationships are simple, like when he clips his toenails while watching Dr. Who reruns or when she eats cheese over the sink. And sometimes weirdness in a relationship is learning to walk through those gray areas of togetherness, where few rules exist. Namely, the strip club.
For many caucus goers, money was more important than family values.
In the wake of the Iowa caucuses, many pundits are scratching their heads. Favorites like Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich lost to the relative unknown, Rick Santorum, who tied with Mitt Romney at 24% of the vote. But perhaps, the result is less confusing when you look at it from the angle of love and relationships.
One reader wants to know if her man's ogling is out of line.
Single, married, straight, young or old, we all ogle. I'm a happily married woman with a baby and I ogle me some Ryan Gosling. And my husband, faithful stoic that he is, once remarked that Jessica Alba was easy on the eyes. But when does eying an attractive someone cross the line? A reader wrote in telling me that her boyfriend likes to look at boobs. In her estimation, he doesn't just glance, "he stares!" He's even written posts on Facebook about how much he appreciates "a fine rack."
Our new obsession, Pinterest, is the coolest website around. Our favorite "pinned" love quotes.
If there's one thing the Internet is good for, it's pictures. If there are two things, it's pictures and quotations. Pinterest, a new website that works like an online bulletin board, brings together these two awesome things into one smorgasboard of fun.
Couples share the cute weird things that made them fall in love.
Usually, Reddit is where I find my daily dose of hilarious and often inappropriate meme images. But recently, a friend pointed me toward thread on Ask Reddit where couples shared the cute weird things that made them fall in love. And the whole thread is cute and weird and basically just one big love fest. Much like a unicorn, snuggling a narwhale surrounded by an entourage of bunnies and kittens. But in a world where love is often cynical and relationships can turn from sweet into knife-throwing in 60 seconds, I thought it would be a good idea to remind you all that love really is the reason for the season.
