Men make mistakes. I mean, we all do. But, let’s get real, men especially. Being in a relationship means that you’re going to have to forgive some mistakes, though. No one’s perfect and as long as your man apologizes and you forgive him, you two can get through anything. That’s the question though, should you forgive him? Here are some other questions to help you decide.

Does this just happen in the LA area or are networks marketing for their new fall line up like crazy everywhere right now? I’m seeing trailers, posters and billboards for the new shows on Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS everywhere and I’m getting pretty freaking excited! I’m a TV junkie and the new shows every fall are so fun! Here’s one thing that bugs me about new shows, though—single female characters seem to always announce that they’re taking a break from dating in the first season of show. That sounds so strange to me. Do people really do that? Like, just full on say that they’re single and wouldn’t open the door if love came a knockin’? It’s not realistic, right? Generally, I say never stop dating and always be on the hunt when you’re single. However, there are a few times when it’s OK to take a break from dating.

Anyone else as shocked by Jennifer Lawrence moving on to dating Chris Martin just weeks after her split with longtime boyfriend Nicholas Hoult? I was downright stunned at first, mostly because I think Jennifer Lawrence is super young and needs to discover herself as a single lady before diving into another relationship. That being said, Jennifer Lawrence is very private about her romantic life, which I very much applaud. So, who knows when she actually broke up with Nicholas Hoult? It could have been weeks or even months before we found out. But, this piece of celeb gossip got me thinking about moving on and when is too soon. Here are some questions to ask yourself before you move on to a new relationship.

Break ups suck. There’s no other way around it. It doesn’t matter if you’re the dumper or the dumpee, there’s absolutely nothing pleasant about going through a break up. There are tears shed over losing an important relationship, the crappy things you said to each other and, probably the worst reason of all, the dread of having to start the process all over again with someone new. I absolutely hate that “begin again” feeling that creeps in as soon as a relationship is over. I’m very guilty of letting way too much time pass between relationships because it takes me a long time to recover for one relationship and prep myself to be a good girlfriend in the next. That’s not the case for everyone and certainly hasn’t been the case for many of my exes. In fact, a lot of my exes have moved on super quickly, which never fails to kick up an icky round of emotions in me. But, I’ve managed to deal with exes moving on quickly and I’m here to tell you how to handle it.

The news of Robin Williams’s suicide broke my heart into a million pieces. I have always been and will always be such a fan of his. Mork and Mindy is one of my all time favorite shows. His stand up always cracked me up, and I loved him as Genie in Aladdin. Losing him is tragic on so many fronts. One of the few silver linings of this tragedy is that it’s raising the profile of depression awareness. Celebrities, organizations and individuals are coming out with words of encouragement and personal stories. It’s really heartening to witness. Depression is a very serious disease that’s very common, which is important for us all to know. Equally as important to know--depression is treatable. It’s not a death sentence at all. With the right support and treatment, people living with depression can lead very rich and very happy lives. But, of course, support and treatment are key to making that happen. So, I thought I’d offer some advice to people who are in relationships with depressed partners.
