Question from Sarah J.: I’ve been really annoyed by the amount of relationship pictures showing up on my News Feed – all I see are photos of couples kissing or cuddling! Where does social media draw the line on public displays of affection (PDA)? How much relationship sharing is too much?

Pop star Justin Bieber and actress Selena Gomez split on Halloween, according to UsMagazine.com. “I don’t know what to say,” the tween idol said in an interview with Open House Party, Nov. 10. “I don’t know what’s going on in my life … To even assess that it doesn’t make sense ’cause I have not made any comment.” Since their Oct. 31 breakup, Gomez has been keeping a low profile. However, a Gomez insider saying the couples’ challenging schedules and trust issues were at the core of the breakup. The couple had been dating for two years.

Bachelorette’s Emily Maynard has moved on from her former fiancé Jef Holm with Nascar racer Jason White, according to UsMagazine.com. The single mom has denied her rebound with White, though recent photos have been revealed showing Maynard and White getting cozy. The pair went to a Carrie Underwood concert and then they ventured to a club together. “They were all over each other,” said an observer who noticed the two. Maynard has a six-year-old daughter with Ricky Hendrick who was also a Nascar racer, so this is not Maynard’s first racing beau. She was also, back in 2006, with Dale Earnhardt Jr.

You and your significant other have been together for quite some time now. You’ve experienced great dates, bad dates, and more romantic adventures than most couples you know. You’ve met the parents, made plans for the future, and have even discussed living together. There’s just one thing you haven’t done, and it’s a rather large elephant in the room: said “I love you.” Both you and your partner have likely contemplated saying it, and it might have almost slipped out more than once, but you’re unsure whether you’re ready to say it. If you need some help on knowing when it’s time, here are some ways to know you’re ready to say the L-word for the first time:

Sometimes you and your babe need to have a sweet snack, and it doesn’t really matter in what form. It was once described to me as “the need to pour a bag of sugar in a bowl and eat it.” Since it’s culturally reprehensible to eat like that on a date, you may want to take your loved one for some hot apple cider and pumpkin pie instead.

Question from Tara M.: I just moved a couple states away from my boyfriend for a new job. We’re having trouble adjusting to the distance and need some new ways to keep in touch and keep our relationship strong. How can social media help my long-distance relationship?
When it comes to your boyfriend and his ex, be sure not to let your own insecurity and jealously make you crazy with worry. If you trust your boyfriend, you should trust him until he gives you reason not to — and texting his ex may have a perfectly acceptable explanation. Did they remain close after they broke up and before you came into his life? Do they share the same group of friends and often hang out in groups? Does he always tell you where they’re going and what they’re doing — and even invite you too? If so, you may need to accept her role in his life and not let it ruin your own relationship with him.
Relationship expert, Patti Stanger recently revealed some tips on how to make up after a break up, especially if infidelity is involved, according to People. Focusing on the recent breakup and cheating scandal of Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Stanger shares three tips on how to move forward in a relationship. First, you have to ignore your heart and trust what your brain is telling you. The second step is to get comfortable again. You will have to renegotiate boundaries and sort out what makes the two of you comfortable around each other once more. Once you are comfortable, you will be able to start to trust one another again. The Millionaire Matchmaker’s third and final step is to talk to an expert — a therapist that both partners trust. An unbiased third party will help to reconcile any issues that the couple may have.

Summer may have ended, but it doesn’t mean your outdoor dates should stop. This weekend, do something unique and head out to the country to go fruit-picking with your partner. It may sound a little odd at first but once you experience the road trip (if you’re from the city), the sweet smell of fruit around you and walking hand-in-hand in the fields, you will realize that this type of romantic adventure can enhance your relationship.
While breaking up is a part of dating, going back to a single life can be scary. It’s time to stop worrying about lost love and start taking care of yourself. By enjoying life and staying positive, you’ll climb out of this rut in no time. As Russell Brand told host Liz Hayes. “Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it don’t. But if you sort of sense there’s an incompatibility, then in any relationship, regardless of the status of the individual, it kind of is best to go separate ways.”
Here are four tips to help you get back on the horse and have fun while doing it. Let’s start with our post breakup tips.

I am a fan of the show Dexter, and was probably just as surprised as everyone else that the two stars, Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall, filed for divorce. The couple appeared happy, like best friends, being married and working as a team on the award winning show. When Michael C. Hall was diagnosed with cancer, Carpenter was at his side helping him through it all. But later, Hall’s break trust via rumors of infidelity made their way into the relationship, resulting in its dissolution.
