Rosie O’ Donnell and her wife, Michelle Rounds both may have recently experienced health scares back in 2012, but fast forward to now and they are both better than ever, and so is their relationship. UsMagazine.com reports that the scary turn of events surrounding Rounds’ health scare brought O’Donnell and her partner closer together. O’Donnell and her lover were to have a big wedding on August 17 out in Long Island, where O’Donnell grew up, but it had to be postponed because it was around the time Rounds got sick. Rounds was diagnosed with Desmoid tumors, which is a rare cancer disease. However, it didn’t stop the two from tying the knot as they said their “I do’s” at a private and intimate ceremony in their own apartment home.

Having a partner who always wants to be around you is a great feeling — to a certain extent. Everyone has needs when they’re in a relationship, but being overbearing about what you want will push your significant other towards the door. A relationship is an equal union, so if you’re busy only thinking about yourself, then your guy will begin to resent you. Here are the five reasons why being needy will push him away:

Families come in all shapes and sizes. Some married couples live together with their children. When those children grow up and move out of their parents’ home, does that mean that they are no longer a family? Some married couples with children don’t live together because of their work commitments and for other such reasons. Does that make them any less of a family? Religious beliefs aside, some couples such as Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have children together, but were never married. Aren’t they still a family? Married couples with children sometimes divorce. Does that mean that they are no longer a family? If you think about it, the nature of their relationship changed from being married with children to being unmarried with children. I’m afraid that when a couple has children together, their marital status does not control their status as a family.
Many may define a “perfect” family as one in which the parents are married and in love with each other. I opted to use the word “perfect” because that was the term and definition used by a minor child of divorce, who was interviewed in a documentary film by Ellen Bruno titled “SPLIT.” While his family may not be “perfect,” as defined by him, I promise you he still considers it a family.

When it comes to meeting The One, we’re no longer stuck sitting alone at the bar or praying that our next blind date will work out. Today, millions of singles are turning to dating websites to help them find their better half. Although a new success story happens every day with the help of these online matchmakers, the unlimited profiles and possibilities these sites provide pose some issues as well.
In his second novel A Million First Dates: Solving the Puzzle of Online Dating, journalist Dan Slater invites us behind the scenes of the fascinating online dating business. He shows how this industry is changing our culture in more profound ways than we can imagine. By altering our perception of what’s possible, these sites are reconditioning our feelings about monogamy and challenging the traditional paradigm of adult life. Slater examines the questions that the digital revolution is forcing us to ask: Why should we settle for someone who falls short of our expectations if there are thousands of other options a click away? Can commitment thrive in a world of unlimited options? Can chemistry really be quantified by math geeks? In our interview below, we talk to Slater about the answers to these questions and more. …Want the rest? Click here for more

J.K. Rowling drops a bomb into the Harry Potter fandom. How did she bring about this chaos and confusion? She did so by saying, Harry and Hermione would have made a “better match” instead of her and Ron. According to UsMagazine.com she revealed this information in an interview held by Emma Watson, who plays Hermione in the block buster franchise, for The Sunday Times. She was also quoted in saying Ron and Hermione were sort of “wish-fulfillment” for her and the reasons behind them ending up together have more to do with her following through with the plan she had in the beginning than with the real “literature”. Rowling went on to acknowledge the fact, this revelation might upset some fans, but was quick to apologize and then admitted she just wanted to be honest.

We’re excited to welcome Ellen Smoak as a guest post contributor to CupidsPulse.com! In her first video, the author of Breakups Are a Bitch But Getting Through It Doesn’t Have to Be! shares the five stages of getting over a breakup and coaches you through each one. First comes shock, followed by denial. Next, we experience anger and begin to step into our own power again. The fourth stage is sadness and depression — “the hardest stage of all.” Finally, we come to acceptance, a stage we can only reach by going through the previous four stages first.
“We can get stuck in stages for years and not even know it,” she reveals. “It can block our ability to love again, to attract love again, to be happy in love again.”
