Why do men move on so fast after a breakup? I had a recent breakup from a seven-year relationship, and my ex was in a new one just two months later and was married within two years while I was still mourning. Why didn’t he take time to get to know himself as a single man?
If you believe in romantic comedies, the ideal outcome of any romantic relationship is that both partners love each other equally. But is that always true in real life? Sure, it may be the case some of the time, but the fact of the matter is that relationships are often uneven or unequal when it comes to love. Especially at the start of a relationship, it’s not uncommon for one partner to be more enamored of the other. Maybe the guy is salivating after the girl like a hungry dog, while she could care less. Or we’ve all heard girlfriends whining about the guy they’re madly in love with — who never calls. I once saw a movie in which an older couple said the reason they never got divorced is because they never fell out of love at the same time. That’s an interesting twist — and suggests that love isn’t always a two-way street, but more like a freeway designed by a crackhead. You never know where it’s going to twist and turn. Is your relationship “equal” when it comes to love? Is it better to love the other person more or for the other person to love you more? Or is love too weird, complicated, and abstract to even be comprehended? Keep reading »
“I’ve never really liked anybody before. Even when I would date guys, it would sort of be on the surface and it was always a relief when we broke up. … I’ve only had one experience where it was really hard and I was really sad when it ended, but that’s what taught me a lot about myself and love and life – and that’s good.”
—Leighton Meester of “Gossip Girl” and the upcoming “Country Strong” talks to Seventeen about her breakup experiences. She says that only one—her split from co-star Sebastian Stan—really affected her. Can this be true, or is Leighton gilding the lily? Isn’t heartbreak one of the universal lowest common denominators?

Another day, another Tumblr. How long before it gets a book deal? Who knows. The latest entrant is the confession-themed That’s Why I Dumped You. Most of the time, when you dump someone or you get dumped, you don’t tell the truth about why it happened. “It’s not me, it’s you.” “This just isn’t working out.” “I don’t know.” In reality, there’s always an answer behind the BS, and That’s Why I Dumped You has them. Here, men and women can confess the real reasons why you got dumped. From “You were 47 with two 17 year old kids, and I was 28 living in a different state” to “Sex involves both of us moving,” the site offers interesting insight into relationships breakups.

Retrospect is certainly 20/20. Now that Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have announced that they’re divorcing, their marriage no longer looks like the shiny, happy ball of gorgeousness that we’d assumed it was while it was intact. Naturally, rumors have started circulating about what happened to the World’s Sexiest Couple. Some are now saying that Ryan cheated—giving the friendship he struck up with his “Green Lantern” co-star Blake Lively a second glance. And looking back at quotes from Scarlett, it was pretty obvious that something was up. “We have no time for dates,” she said in an interview with Liev Schreiber in Time Out New York in 2009.
Wow. Let it be said that breakups were really going around in 2010. Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are getting divorced, which is about as unexpected as when they got married. “After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage,” a statement from the two reads. “We entered our relationship with love and it’s with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn’t expected, it’s certainly appreciated.” Alas, now I guess we won’t get to see the world’s most genetically superior children. I thought I was bummed yesterday when Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron called it quits, but now I’m downright sad. [TMZ] Keep reading »
“After the first girl I slept with … a few days later … I was, like, crying. It was the end of all the intimacy I shared with my wife. It was like a new thing. It was like … putting that away.”
— David Arquette is an idiot for continually going back on Howard Stern’s radio show to discuss his separation from wife Courteney Cox — bad, bad David! — but at least today he said something touching. When asked if Courteney is dating her “Cougar Town” costar Brian Van Holt, Arquette answered diplomatically, “Any guy would be blessed to be with her.” Aww, that’s about as sweet as it gets on “Howard Stern.” [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
After announcing her separation from hubby Jordan Bratman, Christina Aguilera jetted off to Honolulu. But Carey Mulligan has not made such grand plans since her split from Shia LaBeouf. She quietly moved out of the mansion they shared and, since she needs to stay in Los Angeles to film her new movie “Drive,” has taken up residence at a hotel. And not the Chateau Marmont. Nope, Carey is reportedly staying at an under-construction Best Western overlooking the freeway. Keep reading »
So, since his interview with Howard Stern yesterday, David Arquette has quickly been turning himself into a bad guy. In the interview, David said that his and Courteney Cox‘s marriage failed because she was sick of being his mom. He also revealed that it had been four months since they’d had sex. And then he hit even rock bottom, revealing that he’d had sex with “the girl in the paper,” aka Lindsay Lohan puncher Jasmine Waltz, “once, maybe twice.”
Just for that, we are setting Courteney up! Here’s who we think she should date next … Keep reading »
“We went to a beach and had a picnic. [I] explained to her that we’re grownups, and a lot of the time when grownups are growing up, they need to figure out their lives. … Sometimes that takes each other having a little space. She said, ‘Are you guys getting a divorce?’ I said, ‘No, We’re not getting a divorce, we’re just taking some time apart to get to know ourselves better and get to know what we want out of our mate better.’”
—David Arquette continues to keep things classy by telling Howard Stern all the details about his split from Courteney Cox. I hope he knows that Coco will forever be scared of picnics on the beach now. [People] Keep reading »
