Actor Brian Austin Green was spotted making a trip to the grocery store, smiling and still wearing his wedding ring despite his split from Megan Fox. He appeared to be in good spirits. After five years of marriage, the couple decided to part ways about six months ago. Yet the fact that he is still wearing his ring brought a lot of media attention. There is so much to think about when you are separating and considering divorce that sometimes that tiny detail about when to take the ring off either falls to the bottom of the list or becomes too overwhelming to face.
Deciding when to slip it off is a personal choice, with no right or wrong answer. Here’s some relationship advice.

You know the feeling. It’s that unsettling doubt that surfaces when the best of days turns into the worst of moments. It’s like the time Taylor Swift was awarded the 2009 MTV Best Female Video Award only to watch helplessly as the self-proclaimed ‘expert’ on artistry, Kanye West, took the microphone to express his differing opinion. Thankfully, most of us aren’t confronted with these instances on national television, yet our reactions to these experiences are just as emotionally charged. As a relationship expert, I know these moments happen in relationships and love all the time. During these occasions, you’re faced with a choice. How you handle that decision can make all of the difference in the outcome.
Question from Anna C.: I’ve had a crush on my neighbor for a while, and he finally asked me out on a date! Since we’ve lived near each other for nearly a year, we’re already friends on Facebook. Of course, I’ve looked at his profile in that time, and I feel like I really know him. On our date, is it okay to bring up something I saw on his profile, or should I avoid mentioning anything I’ve learned from social media stalking?

A well-known proverb tells us: “Don’t judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes.” I’ve walked many miles in the shoes of a single parent trying her luck at dating, and my aim is not to judge, but to encourage and advocate with some important relationship advice.
I know first-hand what it’s like to be a single mom. While I was fortunate to benefit from an amazing support group, I remember that phase of my life as one that brought many fears and questions, often in the form of self-doubts. I felt lonely, and I truly thought that few others could relate to my situation. This was some 25 years ago, in a world that was certainly different from today’s for single parents. For instance, the likes of “xyzSingleMomsMingle.com” had not yet arrived. Facetime couldn’t help me keep an eye on the little one when I went out. And less people were becoming single parents by choice. Still, when it comes down to the real anxieties and worries single parents face, has much really changed?
The troubling concerns that single parents say torment their lives today sound identical to the ones I wrestled with more than two decades ago: “Am I a good enough mom?” “Will we be okay financially?” “When will I be able to find some time for myself?” “Am I going to be alone for the rest of my life?” And, the BIG one: “Will I ever be able to love and truly be loved again?”
I don’t pretend to have all the answers to these pressing questions, but, on the BIG question, I do have some pieces of relationship advice for you. Here’s what I’ve learned:

The only situation more traumatizing than discovering your man is with a secret woman, is realizing that you have unknowingly been the “secret woman” to a man and his wife or girlfriend. Devastating to a woman’s self-esteem, this type of relationship needs to be stopped before it takes off into something more serious. The typical man who is already taken will be manipulative, uncommunicative and cautious. Watch out for those telling traits, as well as other signs that your lover may be in another commitment.
Look at Cupid’s dating advice on the most revealing signs that your man is taken:Â
As a relationship expert, I’ve heard some of the worst dating stories. I’m sure, like my friends, you too have been on some bad dates. Sometimes the men are only after one thing. Sometimes they just don’t know how to actually have a conversation with you. And sometimes they have no manners and barely plan the date. This article will do two things. First, I will call out the rude, bizarre, and ugly behavior men are showing women on dates. Second, I will share my love advice on how women should handle situations like these.
In this week’s dating advice video, relationship expert and E!’s Famously Single dating coach, Laurel House talks about how jealousy impacts your friendships. Her dating advice is simple: Just because you’re in a relationship and love doesn’t mean you have to drop your opposite sex friends.
Humans are wired to thrive on close interpersonal connections, so when a relationship and love life comes to an end, often at least one of the parties will hold hard feelings. Perhaps blame, regret, vulnerability, disappointment, fear, or any number of others. This is when dating advice becomes the most important.
If there’s an impulse that’s stronger than the one to seek close connection, it’s the one to protect ourselves from injury.

Is there something about your significant other that bothers you a little too much and a little too often? Relationships and love are often born on “the little things.” It’s the little things that attract you to your significant other, but it can also be the little things that really annoy you about that person too. Is her voice too squeaky? Does he talk too loud in public? Does her taste in music really drive you insane? Partnerships are difficult enough without those small annoyances getting in the way. Finding the perfect person can be a difficult task, but once you do find your match, how do you get over those things they do that bother you?

E.G. Daily may have one of the most diverse careers in Hollywood. From starting out on the silver screen in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure to playing the voice of Tommy Pickle’s in Rugrats, she has truly done it all. Plus, she has a successful singing career. Most impressively though, she balances being a full-time single celebrity mom with her busy lifestyle.
This is a really tough article to write. When is it time to call it quits with your significant other? Is it when you have exhausted every single avenue, when you have reached a point of diminishing returns in the effort to make your relationship and love work?
Once a relationship goes down the he-said, she-said route or it starts to look like a standoff at the O.K. Corral, despite many lengthy, late night conversations, it’s time to bring in the heavy artillery. If you’re not seeing eye-to-eye and you’re acting defensive and resentful of each other, then you need to sit down with a professional. You need to talk to someone on the outside, someone not invested in the relationship. I’m talking about a real professional.
