I've been working with heartbroken people for over 25 years as a psychotherapist. I've listened closely as they tell me they've been abandoned again and again, can't seem to find someone, can't get a quality relationship to last. The truth is that they are experiencing invisible barriers that prevent them from finding the right love. The first step to overcoming these barriers is understanding them. Here are some of the common scenerios:

Abandon-holism: You've been hurt so many times, you've come to confuse insecurity with love. When someone comes along who is willing to commit, you don't feel the "right chemistry." … Read More

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, a (surprisingly low-key) couple since 2005, may have quietly tied the knot in Malibu, the National Enquirer is reporting. The comic couple "said that they would 'be forever in love' with one another and that they would always be together. For the two of them, it was as good as a marriage ceremony," a source told the rumor-mongering rag. Jim's rep is denying the report, although the actor said last year at the premiere of his film Yes Man that he and Jenny were married in their hearts.

I finally had one of those moments when you discover an ex has gotten married and your world momentarily collapses. Facebook was innocently trolling my email address book looking for new users who could become my friends. Martin popped up and when I clicked on his profile picture, I saw him looking mighty fine in a grey tux smooching some babe in a wedding dress. Facebook Decides To Control Your Love Life

Monogamy Is Good, And It's Here To Stay

It's been said that men fear commitment. And that may be drastically understating the case. According to our homies over at Lemondrop, when asked to list things they are afraid of, sharks just edged out proposing marriage in terms of things that men fear. (Word to the wise, the Lemondrop post had a few other interesting tidbits that you should check out.)

Since Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus Rexes went the way of the dinosaur, the scariest creature on the face of the Earth is the shark (followed closely by the tiger, with the hippopotamus and werewolf tied for a distant … Read More

We're entering another weekend at the heights of wedding season. We have to admit as much as there may be gripes about the logistics of getting to and from a wedding location and  budgeting for what to wear and what to give as a gift there are three things we absolutely adore about weddings.

1.Personalized vows. There's little else as touching as watching a couple recite vows that they wrote that have personal meaning. It's bound to be the case that one or both of the parties on the altar is going to break down in one big love fest while … Read More

Anna Kournikova showed up flashing a giant diamond ring on the fourth finger of her left hand at a Pennsylvania World Team Tennis match Monday, prompting onlookers to speculate that she and longtime flame Enrique Iglesias are finally making it legal. Wait…what?!

They aren't married? Anna and Enrique have spent the past seven years since they met on the set of his "Escape" video alternately telling the press that they are married, that they've broken up, or that they're just joking. But we are still not convinced that Russians have a sense of humor.

The former World No. 8 was … Read More

Gollum slithered around the picnic tables in a bald wig and a loincloth. Bilbo Baggins manned the barbecue.  An elf with pointy ears asked if we had any veggie burgers.

My boyfriend, David, and I had not come dressed for the "Lord Of The Rings" theme for his family's annual group vacation with their friends. But costumed or not, I knew I'd be under scrutiny: I'm the first woman he'd brought along to introduce to everybody in his 26 years of attending. Read: The Un-Monster-in-Law
