Separation Anxiety

We wrote a recent article on Yahoo about how much we share as a couple, and what we keep separate. As we discussed our philosophy that sharing should come from a place of confidence, not surveillance, there is a constant debate among couples on how much is too much. From locations to  passwords, bank accounts to social media, hell even beauty products, what does it all say about the state of your relationship?

A heartbreaking, yet beautiful love story is emerging out of Arkansas. 24-year-old Arkansas police officer Fred Marsh proposed to his girlfriend of three years and then went on a canoe trip with another couple to celebrate. Within hours of his proposal, his brand new fiancée, Hailey,  struggled while in the water and Marsh immediately jumped into the river to push her towards the canoe, and to safety.  Unfortunately, Mars...

Rabid fans have overreacted to what they deem as ‘bad behavior’ by Love Islander Zach Georgiou, effectively shutting down his TikTok account for part of the day on Tuesday. A group of fans banded together to falsely “report” Zach’s account, which spurred Season 8 winner, Trinity,  to publicly defend him, telling her followers to stop the hate and ignorant comments. A new article in Harper&rsq...

The internet is going crazy over Alex Sunny, who told TikTok she is moving to Afghanistan to be with her husband, whom she met online 2 years ago. Sunny has only met her husband in real life for 12 days, and because of the U.S. ban on Afghan citizens, she says she’s decided to move there so they can finally live together. Her posts are getting millions and millions of views with comments ranging from real concern and warnings...

We did not see that one coming. After an episode filled with some reflections on family day and some heartfelt excitement about taking each relationship outside the villa, ‘Love Island’ producers broke up the emotion with another disgusting food challenge that even had the islanders gagging along with the rest of America. Sardines and mayonnaise…. WHY? Then things turned serious after take out family dinner, as f...

It didn’t seem possible earlier in the week, after a contentious back and forth between Buckingham Palace and Prince Harry over whether the Prince was invited to overnight at the Palace while he was in London.  Despite the public ugliness of that dispute, and the fact that Harry was denied security for his family while in the UK, somehow a reunion was arranged for the estranged family.  Buckingham Palace confirmed K...

It’s always a heartwarming and emotional day at the villa when family members show up for the islanders to give them support, love, and some insight into their newly formed relationships. While Bryce’s grandma stole the show, adding a little sass and humor to the reunion, it was Sincere’s Dad who added the spice. He came in hot, along with Melanie’s sister, to let Sincere know his behavior on the show toward...

While the girls went off to play at a Fiji waterpark, the boys at the villa went to work setting up a scavenger hunt for K.C. to ask a very important question to Titi.  Sure, it looked like the ladies had a blast, but there was growing tension between Kayda and Trinity:  a heated back and forth played out throughout the episode on how to exactly define Zach and Kayda’s relationship, is it a situationship or not? &nb...

We were all so hopeful that finally Prince Harry, Meghan and grandchildren Archie and Lilibet might have a royal reunion with King Charles and family at Buckingham Palace this week. Harry’s camp made the announcement that an invitation had been extended, but shortly afterward, the Palace announced that the Duke of Sussex didn’t respond in time to make the necessary staffing accommodations. Harry’s spokesperson sug...

The villa was an emotional wreck after the bottom two couples tried to unpack how and why they ended up being voted least compatible. While Zach and Kenzie looked internally as to what they may have done to irk America, their partners started pointing the finger at others.  Kayda was outraged that K.C. and Titi, and Carl and Aniya were in the top 4, given their history and the fact that she and Zach have been together since &l...

It was all going so well. Perhaps the most entertaining, heart warming and fun episode culminated with a stunner of an ending. We thought we knew who was going home after America voted for their most compatible couple… but the karaoke challenge created an unexpected outcome. Once Kenzie and Dylan were voted king and queen, they were granted immunity, and escaped elimination. That left a difficult choice for the islanders who...

Women are posting their “divorce glow ups” online and it’s become quite the viral trend. You see their before and after photos with captions like “me as a wife” and then swipe to see “me as an ex-wife” and the transformations are significant. Women look fitter, sexier and yes, happier post divorce, but the experts say it’s not cosmetic surgeries or injections, it’s physiological...

Once again, the islanders are prompting non-stop conversations in our house, and after last night’s episode, a big topic was girl code. When Amora threw Jen under the bus, telling Gal that Jen was trash talking him in the dressing room, the girls on our couch were outraged about her major girl code violation. We can talk sh*t about each other to each other, but you do not go outside your gender, especially to sabotage a relat...

After watching last night’s episode, we had a full discussion of why women would benefit from a heterosexual man in their friend group, and Corbin proved why. We talk about how women validate each other’s feelings and that might not always be helpful when you’re dealing with a toxic relationship like Melanie and Sincere’s. T.J. goes over what he would tell Melanie and why Corbin has suddenly emerged as the v...

And then there were 14. Seven couples remain in the villa now, and frankly it was a relief to see who was ultimately voted out and the process was entertaining as hell. First, Jen was left without a partner because Gal chose Amora. But how that all went down didn’t sit well with Jen or us, and to see Gal and Amora voted off an hour later was sweet revenge. Poor Caleb, but he had his shot and it just (obviously) wasn’t w...
