Rumors are swirling that Bachelor stars Brad Womack and Emily Maynard have called it quits for good this time.  A source close to Maynard says, “It happened about a week and a half ago,” according to HollywoodLife.com.  The apparent reason for the breakup centers around Maynard having remaining feelings for her ex-boyfriend, automotive executive David Smith.  “She’s got something with David,” says the same source. “And David totally digs Emily.”  The duo dated before The Bachelor and were said to be a good couple, although Maynard seemed “reserved” around Smith.  Either way, it looks as if a match made in reality heaven is sputtering to an end.

Cupid’s Advice:
It was long speculated that Brad Womack would not be able to fully open up his heart to a woman after his first stint on The Bachelor ended in heartbreak. Â Is Womack simply toxic in a relationship? Â Cupid has a few tell-tale signs for a toxic relationship:
1. You can’t be yourself: If you find yourself skirting around your partner at times and find it difficult to be yourself, the relationship is probably toxic. Â Your mate should understand you better than anyone, so what’s the point of being a part of the couple when you can’t be fully happy?
2. You do things you normally wouldn’t: Chances are that your relationship is toxic if you find yourself partaking in activities you used to be against just because your partner suggested it. Â It’s important to retain your morals and values when you enter into a new relationship.
3. You fight all the time: Arguing periodically is normal in a relationship, but if you find that all you do is right and you can’t point to anything positive in your relationship, it may be time to get out.
