When is it okay to end a relationship and love? People differ in their reasons for staying or leaving, but most agree that partnerships should be over when they damage your physical and/or emotional well-being. While we don’t know the reasons behind the surprising celebrity divorces of Patrick Dempsey, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore, we do know that there were longstanding issues that required these famous couples to make a change. If your relationship is giving you stress, depression, or a weakened immune system, it might be time to evaluate whether your love is toxic and needs a change too. …Don’t miss the rest!

On this week’s Single in Stilettos show, founder and dating expert Suzanne Oshima talks to relationship author Duana Welch about what you think you need in a man but don’t.
According to the writer of Love Factually, many women focus on the wrong must-haves when they’re looking for The One. Doing so may be keeping you single! Here are a few qualities that you think you need in a partner but actually don’t: every shared interest, a “cool” guy, someone who respects your independence, love and sexual attraction only, and someone who is wealthy.

Relationship Experts Share Dating Advice
The dating consultant for SurviveWomen.com explains that the only person who truly knows the answer to this question is the man himself. However, the relationship experts offer a few potential reasons for you to consider: Something may have come up in his personal or professional life; he didn’t find you attractive or may have been bothered by something you said; or he may be taken already. Of course, he may just be someone who lacks integrity. If that’s the case, he’s not someone you want as your partner in a long-term relationship and love.
There’s one other question that women often ask themselves: If he doesn’t call, should I reach out? Feel free to contact him, but remember that you shouldn’t be doing all of the pursuing. It’s a two-way street, and you deserve someone who’s willing to go the extra mile for you!

Everyone dreams of the fairytale ending, but nobody said that finding Prince Charming would be easy. Even when we fall in — what feels like — love, we’re still not always sure that he’s The One. After all, relationships and love are supposed to be work, right? While this may be true to an extent, a romance should not be more work than it’s worth. One of the hardest decisions to make in a partnership is realizing when it’s time to walk away.
Founders of Project Soulmate Share Expert Dating Advice
While love may be enough to withstand the test of time in stories, reality is much more complicated than that. Two people could be in love and still not be right for each other. Knowing when you are a good fit for each other can be hard. With that thought in mind, here are five red flags that mean you aren’t dating Mr. Right:
1. You don’t trust him: If there is no trust, there is no relationship. A relationship is primarily built off trust, so one without trust is like having a phone without service: It’s frustrating, and no matter how hard you try, it will never work. Let’s not beat around the bush: If you don’t trust your guy, there is a reason. Whether you saw a text from another girl pop up on his phone, found out he was cheating, or even just caught him in one too many lies, if you don’t trust your man, it’s over.
You cannot spend all of your time and energy stalking his whereabouts because, let’s face it, it’s exhausting. Instead of spending your time worrying about your guy’s every move, you should be enjoying your life and the people you love!
2. There’s no passion: Love and passion seem to go hand-in-hand. But the truth is that you can love someone without feeling any passion for them. If your relationship is lacking that burning passion that you’ve dreamed about, then you’re probably better off as friends. Passion is the longing for someone that makes you feel complete when you are together. And while the sexual passion is said to fade, the romantic passion should last forever. You should always feel like your partner is your other half and that you complete one another. While it’s true that passion isn’t everything, it is a necessary component to any successful relationship and love.
3. You don’t feel accepted:Â Being in love means that you can completely be yourself around the other person. If you feel like you’re constantly walking on egg shells in your relationship or like you’re being judged by your man, then he isn’t right for you. A person that you love should accept you for exactly who you are and whatever baggage you carry. And while relationships require minor sacrifices, they should be mutual and not one-sided.
As relationship experts, we believe that you shouldn’t have to completely change yourself or give up the things that you love for another person. Your partner should accept you for who you are and embrace you with open arms. The truth is, if he really loves you, he should make the effort to learn about your hobbies, your work, and your loved ones. You should never have to give up your life to satisfy your man.
How to Know If You’ve Found a Relationship and Love with Mr. Right
4. He won’t talk about the future: Every couple has to eventually have “the talk” about the future. And while they may dread the moment that they have to face reality and realize they want different things, it’s a conversation that has to happen in order to move to the next phase in any partnership. It is true that every person has their own unique set of beliefs, but your partner’s goals have to jive with yours in order for a relationship to work. In the beginning stages, many couples don’t feel the need to talk about their these things, but as your relationship progresses, this discussion will become unavoidable. If you’re considering spending the rest of your life with someone, having a conversation about religion, children, and your future in general is crucial.
The sooner you have the conversation, the better. You definitely don’t want to marry someone, only to find out later that you both want different things in life. Even if you’re in love, having different values and wanting different things means that you aren’t right for each other. At the end of the day, you need to face the music and realize that it’s time to move on.
5. He doesn’t respect you: A relationship and love is all about balance. Your partner should bring out the best in you, and you should bring out the best in him. But the truth is that many times people stay in romances that bring out the worst in them. While arguing is normal in any relationship, there needs to be a healthy line of communication where you can discuss your feelings openly before a full-fledged fight erupts. If your partner doesn’t have enough respect for you to sit down and tell you how they are feeling through a mature discussion, then your relationship will quickly spiral out of control.
Let’s face it: Nobody likes to fight. If you and your partner don’t have open conversations and have a lack communication, then your relationship will quickly take a turn for the worse and you will see each other’s ugliest side.

On this week’s Single in Stilettos show, founder and dating expert Suzanne Oshima talks to relationship author Dr. Diana Kirschner about how to go from casually dating to a committed relationship and love.
Relationship Author Reveals Love Advice for a Committed Partnership
Dr. Kirschner shares the following love advice: Have fun in and out of the bedroom; be radiantly happy; don’t be a drama queen; make him feel good about you; and be patient with where you’re at in the relationship process. While there’s no set timeline, your partnership should always be moving forward. No matter what, though, never give a man an ultimatum; you don’t want to force him to be with you exclusively before he’s ready.
If you follow this love advice from Dr. Kirschner, which is based on the simple laws of attraction, you’ll be one step closer to finding the relationship and love you want.

Of all the women who will be heading to theaters this weekend to see Fifty Shades of Grey, we know one who will be steering clear of the erotic film: star Jamie Dornan’s celebrity love, Amelia Warner. According to UsMagazine.com, the actor says it only makes sense that his wife wouldn’t want to watch his sexual scenes. “I am not going to put any pressure on her either way. It’s her decision,” he explained in a recent interview with USA Today. “She’s well aware that it’s pretend, but it’s probably not that comfortable to watch.”
Famous couple Jamie Dornan and his celebrity love Amelia Warner are working out a way to support each other, even when it’s uncomfortable. What are some ways to support your partner from afar?

I recently received the letter below and offered my expert relationship advice in my response.
Expert Relationship Advice from Hope After Divorce
Dear Toni,
Somehow, I have fallen in love with a married man. I know what you must be thinking: that if I knew he was married, and I walked into it anyway, I did this to myself and need to just accept the consequences. If so, you would be right, but I honestly didn’t have the intent to go down this path. It more or less evolved from us being co-workers and friends. Ironically, he was the one who I leaned on a lot through my ex’s infidelity and subsequent divorce. It was a time of great vulnerability for me, and he was just so great; in fact, he was everything my ex had never been. After hours of talking, long lunches, drinks after work and an increased frequency in texting, we shared a kiss. From there, it was too easy. …Want to know more? Click here to continue!

According to O’Connor, finding a relationship and love shouldn’t be hard for women. If you understand how men think and what they want, you can capture his attention. Consider this love advice from the dating expert and make yourself aware of these three things: Know what makes him tick; understand his relationship with his mother; and remember that food is really important to a man. Other than that, just show him that you’re thinking of him. It really is that easy!

Question from Kaitlin B.: It sounds silly, but I think a lot about my texts before I send them to a guy I’ve just met. When and how do I play hard to get while texting? What things should I consider before pressing send?
In this week’s dating advice video, relationship expert and E!’s Famously Single dating coach, Laurel House discusses how The Bachelor, particularly season 19 with Chris Soules, and other similar reality TV shows are changing the reality of dating.
Dating Advice from E!’s Famously Single Dating Coach Laurel House
“They’re helping to shape the way we view what is desirable, what is sexy,” she explains of the reality TV franchise. “With Farmer Chris from Iowa as America’s current leading man, the dating landscape has dramatically shifted.” House reveals five ways that Soules is changing the reality of dating: Women no longer want bad boys like former Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis; we see farmers as marriage material; we’re going back to the basics and forgetting about the rich and famous; we want a true gentleman; and we (finally!) think nice is sexy.
Funny enough, a reality TV show is helping us redefine real love. “It’s being authentic; it’s being our true self. It’s looking down deep and thinking, ‘What do I need in a relationship and love? What do I need in a relationship? What will sustain a relationship long-term?'” the relationship expert shares.
On this week’s Single in Stilettos show, NYC matchmaker and dating coach Suzanne Oshima talks to founder of the WingGirlMethod.com Marni Kinrys about what turns a man on — and no, we’re not talking about in the bedroom!
Relationship Advice for the Early Stages of Dating
These dating experts share their best relationship advice for what keeps a man’s attention after the first few dates. In the beginning, of course, your chemistry is based primary on your looks, the way you smile, and how you smell. But if you want him to stick around, you have to make him happy. It’s really as simple as that! The best way to do so is by communicating clearly. Men get confused easily, so say what you mean and mean what you say. If you follow this relationship advice, you’ll quickly move from “just dating” to a committed partnership with the right guy.
