This whole blog post is a major breach of girl code. I’m well aware of that. But, I felt like I had to write it after I was a guest at a lovely dinner party where I was seated next to a couple where the woman was terrible to the man. She berated him in front of me, a total stranger, was competitive with him and was totally boring while he was a dreamy conversationalist.

I was at brunch, my all time favorite meal of the week, last weekend and one of my favorite girlfriends turned to me and said, “Brad is boring.” Brad is her boyfriend. And she wasn’t joking. She was dead serious and actually upset about it. We spent the rest of brunch dissecting the issue and I think I learned a lot about what to do when you think your boyfriend is becoming a little snoozey. We focused on three main questions that helped my girlfriend a lot. I hope they help you, if you're dealing with this situation, too. Read more
By now, I’m sure you’ve all seen the video of Solange Knowles attacking Jay Z in an elevator while Beyonce watches. I’ve heard a million different theories on what went on in that elevator. Everything from a drunken reaction to friends getting kicked out of a party to cheating allegations to Solange showing the couple some dance moves. (Pretty sure that last one is a joke.) But the truth is that no one, aside from those three and their bodyguard, is every really going to know what happened in that elevator. But, the whole ugly situation—and family violence is always ugly, I don’t care how many “hilarious” internet memes are flying around, I will never laugh at something this serious—got me thinking…what should you do when your family doesn’t get along with your man?
