Find yourself going after the same guy time and time again? You know the type: the guy who doesn’t make you better, yet does an awesome job at stringing you along, but you have no idea where your relationship stands? Yeah, that can be confusing. It’s like craving a highly carbonated and artificial soft drink. It’s no good for you, but you want it anyway. Hey, no judgement here; however, while it’s satisfying at the moment, it can be detrimental in the long run if you form a bad habit.

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi may have changed her partying ways due to her pregnancy, but the mom-to-be will still remain true to her popular animal print heavy, self —described ‘Guidette’ sense of style, even while giving birth. “I want to wear, like, leopard shoes and a leopard gown- like the hospital gowns that they have,” the Jersey Shore star told Celebuzz. “I think that would be cute.” Apparently, there’s no such thing as too much animal print in Polizzi’s world. “If it’s a boy, it’s gonna be maybe something Disney or safari. If I have a girl, it’s going to obviously be animal print- zebra, leopard and pink,” the reality star said while speaking of her nursery.

Okay, so you and your husband dated, fell in love, got married, had a few kids and now you realize that he’s no longer the person he was when you first married him. Sound familiar? What happened to the man you once knew? Don’t fret; change is very common among couples. Things you once desired out of the relationship are no longer the things you need as your relationship progresses. It’s healthy for couples to grow as individuals, but sometimes it’s hard to adjust to the change, and the person we once married becomes a stranger sleeping in our bed, walking around our house and kissing us “hello and good-bye” every morning. Therapist and author Dr. Steven Craig speaks more about this in his new book, The Six Husbands Every Wife Should Have advocating that successful relationships should be viewed as fluid entities that are made by continually maturing people. In his practice and in the book, he teaches couples who are at various stages in their relationship to learn how to adapt to every stage they experience together. Here are some points we discussed with him:

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev may have arrived separately and opted out of posing together on the red carpet when the actor hosted The Influence Affair, an environmental benefit, but that didn’t mean the clandestine couple were going to stay apart for long. “They sat together at dinner and when Ian noticed Nina was shivering, he offered her his blazer to help keep her warm,” an onlooker told People. “There was no overt PDA, but there was a certain lovey way about how they looked at each other.” The couple was also spotted holding hands while privately touring the mansion where the event was held. “They seemed very close and comfortable together,” the source said.

My sister and I grew up in Suburbia, which affords bored, middle-class children multiple opportunities for creative mayhem. My sister, therefore, functioned as a-guinea pig of sorts. For instance, picture a 10-year-old and his friends chasing you around with Super Soakers filled to the hilt with pickle juice. You’d have hated me, too. When we both hit adolescence, we grew up a little bit. We went to high school and started to test the dating waters. As if being a 14-year-old, pimple-faced fat kid wasn’t enough, I had to come home to the chiding laughter of my older, hotter, more dating-tested sister whenever I failed. Good news of failed romance spreads fast in Suburbia. My immaturity blinded me from taking in the romance lessons that are now so clear to me. Let’s break them down:

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie is enjoying her time off with her husband, actor Josh Duhamel, after being on the road eight years touring with her group the Black Eyed Peas. “We like each other. We like hanging out together and we have fun,” Fergie told MTV News. “We have fun in the kitchen cooking and singing silly songs. Not to give too much away — I’m not going any further than that — but we have a good time together, and it’s nice to get to have that quality time. We enjoy it.” Though they recently celebrated their three-year anniversary, don’t expect the Hollywood duo to make a pregnancy announcement anytime soon. “It’s not happening yet, I can tell you that definitely,” the singer says. “But we want to have a family, so that’s in the cards, but it’s just not this second.”

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says Sin City? Okay, after legalized prostitution. That’s right: quickie Vegas weddings in chapels illuminated with neon lights. The fact is, Las Vegas issues approximately 100,000 marriage licenses each year and boasts almost as many wedding chapels as it does casinos. For famous couples, those quickie celebrity weddings are typically followed by quickie divorces and embarrassing publicity. Vegas’ abundance of 24-hour bars makes us wonder if some of our favorite celebs were under the influence of something other than love when they tied the knot, Vegas-style. Here are a few examples:

Nicki Sterling saddled back to Texas after falling in love and spending the night in the fantasy suite with The Bachelor’s Ben Flajnik. The former contestant told People she was blindsided when she didn’t get a rose, but believed it boiled down to him having stronger feelings for the other two women. “Hearing him refer to me as the “dark horse” lets me know he enjoyed my company in the beginning, but didn’t have a strong connection until the end. I probably had stronger feelings for him sooner than he had for me,” Sterling said. While she admits that she’s still in process of getting over everything [from the show], Sterling is at a good point in her life and is in no rush to start dating again. “It’s hard to fall for somebody that doesn’t fall back. The idea of dating hasn’t crossed my mind since I left Switzerland,” Sterling said. “I’m going to take a while to put myself out there 100 percent like on the show. I’m confident it will happen. I’m just not in any hurry.”
