It’s been eight months since the Real Housewives star Taylor Armstrong lost her husband Russell Armstrong to suicide, and she said she hasn’t even considered dating. “I’m just so not ready. I still think about Russell every single day, and I still miss him terribly and I feel like I’m so far from ready,” said Armstrong according to UsMagazine.com. “I don’t know if you just wake up and you’re ready, or how that works. But for me, for now, I really got some growing to do, I think, before I’ll be even ready to be a good judge of what’s good for me.”  As for now, the reality star is putting her focus on raising her daughter Kennedy and learning to be a single mom and an independent woman.

Taylor Armstrong, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, was recently widowed by the loss of her husband, Russell Armstrong, to suicide.  After the fact, his ex-wife Barbara Fredrickson and his former fiance Milette Fields say Taylor is being heartless and self-centered in the wake of his tragic death.  Both women have children with Armstrong, and claim that Taylor was too busy to break the news to either of their families in person, who found out once the story hit the news.  The reality star even failed to call Armstrong’s mother to offer her sympathies.  According to RadarOnline, Barbara believes Taylor is hiding valuable belongings of Armstrong’s on purpose, none of which she’s offered as memoirs to his children, and is planning a tell-all about Armstrong’s abuse.

Taylor and Russell Armstrong’s marriage counseling sessions, which were taped months before Russell’s suicide, will air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, RadarOnline reports.  “Bravo has done major editing of the show, to be sensitive to the fact that Russell killed himself.  However, the decision was made to air the footage of the therapy sessions,” a Bravo insider says.  “Viewers will see the two of them with their marriage counselor, Dr. Charles Sophy, as well as individual sessions with Taylor.  Russell’s one-on-one sessions will not air.  Taylor is completely supportive of the decision, and thinks it will help battered women to make the decision to leave an abusive relationship, just like she did.”

Melanie Mar is the founder of Melanie Mar International and a partner of Patti Stanger’s Millionaire’s Club Matchmaking Agency.  You may also recognize her from last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where she is seen coaching Taylor Armstrong about her marriage to Russell Armstrong.  We had the chance to catch up with Mar and get her advice for couples in a relationship, as well as for those who are navigating the single scene.  She offered some amazing insight. Ladies take note.

One of the most common dating challenges for single women who live in big cities like LA or NY is that they find it too hard to meet a man.  “Women have become much more independent and now they’re competing with men,” says Mar.  “There’s a lot of masculinity out there these days and it takes so much courage for today’s man to approach today’s woman.  He has no idea what reaction he’ll get,” she explains.
