We were at an airport recently, waiting in the gate area for our flight to board when an incident inspiring relationship advice presented itself to us. Sitting close by was a middle-aged woman who was literally unloading her romantic life frustrations on a lady, whom we hoped, was a friend of hers. She kept lining up one anecdote behind another about how insensitive her boyfriend was to her. With no apparent shame, (she was so loud that we wished she could have been the gate attendant giving us the flight status information) she carried on describing how “her guy” seemed to get a kick out of giving her stupid gifts and cards on special occasions. She said, “For my last birthday, he gave me a card that said, ‘Old age has its benefits. You can now have all your meals in a cup to go.’ and the accompanying present was a plastic cup with a straw and a set of fake dentures.”

And just as we both thought we had heard everything there was to hear, the poor woman dropped the bomb on us. She said, “Now with Valentine’s day just around the corner, I soooo much hope he will spoil me with something decent, you know… Something that will show how much he loves me. I just want to feel loved!”

Celebrity relationships haven’t been easy for Khloe Kardashian. The reality TV star and her basketball star beau James Harden recently split after dating since this past summer. People.com confirmed the break-up between the former celebrity couple, and it seems like Kardashian can’t catch a break. The two started to drift apart right around the time that Khloe’s “estranged husband,” former NBA player Lamar Odom, was found unconcious in a Las Vegas brothel back in October 2015. Khloe said that Harden had been “very supportive and awesome” of the situation with Lamar. Since the split between Harden and Kardashian, Khloe has signed up on OKCupid, a free online dating site.

“Come at me bro,” said by who else but Olivia, a contestant on The Bachelor season 20. This was the quote of the episode, especially since Ben Higgins and many of the ladies came after Olivia last night. This episode of was so eventful I don’t even know where to start. It definitely could make the front page of celebrity news. From not having a rose ceremony last week and girls starting unnecessary drama this week, this episode did not disappoint, and I felt it was very pivotal to the season.

If we are truly going to know and, eventually, accept ourselves for who we are, it’s crucial for us to have clarity not only on what we value, like, and enjoy, but also on what we don’t—and ask ourselves why. Probing our dislikes helps us discover what are our deepest values. This is essential because self-awareness and self-acceptance are key parts of the foundation of all successful relationships. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Will Smith was asked how he and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith had managed to have a successful 20 year marriage. His relationship advice was, “If there is a secret I would say it’s that we never went into working in our relationship” … “We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously.”

When it comes to problems in relationships, one that may be immensely mind boggling to us all is: why be in a relationship with someone you are ashamed of? In celebrity news, Zayn Malik and supermodel Gigi Hadid have been spotted out together multiple times, and there’s been some social media love as well. According to UsMagazine.com, Malik is essentially denied dating Hadid on an interview with Apple’s Music’s Beast, and Hadid confirmed that Malik is “actually single.” These two continue to claim each other as just good pals, even though celebrity gossip says they are a celebrity couple.

This celebrity news seems to point toward a denial that the two celebs are dating. What do you do if you are getting signs that your partner is ashamed of you?

I’ve got a confession for you: I’ve always been quick to say the L word. I finally learned, though, that doing so leads to the quick destruction of your relationship and love, and I’m going to explain why.

Relationship Expert Discusses Saying “I Love You” For the First Time

According to my expert dating advice, telling somebody you love them shouldn’t be taken lightly. As a matter of fact, it’s a very serious thing to say to somebody. The problem is, too many of us throw “I love you” around too quickly, and that’s because we’re in love with the idea of who we think someone is.

Every time I thought I was in love, I was always in love with the idea of that person. I loved the way they looked; I loved the way they smelled; I loved the way they spoke. I loved what I thought they were all about. The myth of being in love is the key here. You see, when we think we know somebody, we fall in love with the idea of what we actually think they are.

We’re all guilty of it. We tend not to listen when people usually tell us exactly who they are. So let’s go a little deeper right now, and talk about the L word.

When you meet somebody and you think you’re in love with them, it’s your thoughts that you love. You’re deeply intoxicated and love drunk, under the powerful drug called chemistry.

I remember my last relationship and love. I was so in love with her, that I was blinded to who she really was. She wasn’t a bad person. She was actually a good person, but she wasn’t my special person. I put the L word out there and told her I loved her quickly — and that changed everything. She immediately felt like she could do no wrong.

Here was this great man that told her how much he loved her after only three weeks. Six months later, when the relationship was on rocky ground and I started expressing my needs, wants, and desires, she had no idea what to do. She thought I was happy the whole time because I told her how much I loved her over and over again.

The right time to tell someone new that you love them is when you really get to know them. You get to know who they are; you get to know their faults; you get to know what they’re about. When you know that they make you feel loved, wanted, and desired, then it’s time.

I’m going to say it again: The L word is not something you should throw around lightly. That will get you into trouble. So I strongly suggest you follow this expert dating advice: Take 90 days to look at your partner, see what they’re all about, and get to know them. See who they are in different situations. See if the feeling of love is real or just chemical.

Give yourself this 90-day challenge and don’t say the L word for the first three months. If the love drunk feeling begins to wear off and you see them for who they really are and you still want to tell them that you love them, go for it.

It seems like the Kardashians like to keep it in the family! In the latest celebrity news, Blac Chyna riled up her followers on Instagram after she posted a pic of herself and Rob Kardashian on January 26th. Not only that, but his family was less than thrilled after he posted another photo with the caption, “Blac Chyna probably out shopping rite now as she plan to give birth to the only next generation of the Kardashian Name! #BabyKardashian.” According to UsMagazine.com, Khloe Kardashian tweeted, “You can do anything.

When we are our true, authentic selves in a new relationship, we begin it with honesty about who we are and what we desire. It gives the partnership a solid foundation from which it can grow into a long-term friendship or potential romantic adventure. When we are not our authentic selves, the relationship starts on uncertain ground. Despite good intentions, over the long run, it can create bigger problems.

Here are five pieces of relationship advice to help you put forth your authentic self:

A couple of decades ago, my dog was sprawled out snoring on the sofa, belly on a pile of unfolded laundry, tail stuck in an empty Ben & Jerry’s tub. I was slouched beside her stroking her hindquarters, glumly ticking through the carcasses (figurative, not literal) that made up my dispiriting trail of my relationship roadkill. I had recently completed a reverse sprint down the aisle (not my first) with Peggy Lee’s, “Is That All There Is?” echoing through my disenchanted heart.

Was I ever going to find a true love who didn’t walk on four legs and woof for his breakfast? Here’s what I found in the way of relationship advice.

Now that we’re closing in on February, it’s a good time to take inventory of how your New Year’s resolutions are progressing, or not. Have you made adjustments to your environment, created a specific plan, tweaked your schedule or set aside time for following through on the short-term objectives that will get you there? If you have done even one of these, it’s a real start. However, if you draw a blank when reading this, you may have already lost your resolve or even forgotten about your goals altogether. If this is the case, and you want to get back on track—it is important to examine where you got off course and what factors may have influenced it.

As a relationship expert, I notice that one variable people may overlook, but that carries a lot of weight, is how much support you get from your relationship and love. In assessing this, it’s important to pay attention to what they do more than what they say. There are many subtle ways that a partner can sabotage your efforts, especially if he or she fears it will impact your shared lifestyle, threatens him in some way, or upset the status quo in general. If you believe this is occurring, consider talking to your partner about what you see happening and ask for help. My relationship advice is to look at the following eight behaviors to assist you in pinpointing and articulating your concerns and then moving toward a productive discussion on how you can best support one another.

Pop star Miley Cyrus was spotted wearing an engagement ring after she and former fiancé Liam Hemsworth reunited over New Year’s in Australia. Multiple sources revealed that Miley had been struggling to move on from Liam after the end of their celebrity relationship, and has never fully gotten over him. It appears the feelings are mutual, as the celebrity couple is giving it another try. And, they aren’t the only ones people are talking about when it comes to wondering about the possibility of rekindled love. Superstar Madonna and movie star ex-husband Sean Penn have reportedly been spending more time together lately, and were recently seen at a hotel bar together. All of this can be heartening for those who wonder about doing something similar with a previous partner. Hearing these stories can make people believe in romance and the value of a shared history. But, it also raises questions.

Trust is the most important aspect of a relationship. Without trusting your partner and having that trust reciprocated, your relationship won’t be a healthy and happy one. We can take cues from celebrity couples and their celebrity relationships to see how they restore the trust in their relationship when it’s lost. For example, Pink and Carey Hart married in 2006, and announced their separation in 2008. After marriage counseling and song therapy, they reunited in 2010, welcomed daughter Willow Sage in June 2011, and just celebrated their 10 year celebrity wedding anniversary. According to Psychology Today, 41% of first marriages and 60% of second marriages end in divorce. Wow! Nobody told us relationships would be easy; they just promised it would be worth it!

Cupid has some relationship advice on how to restore the trust in your relationship:
