The New York Times' Modern Love column is like a box of chocolates, if half of the chocolates were replaced by cringeworthy middle school journals crumpled up and dipped in hardened, bitter regret. I'm happy to report, however, that this week's Modern Love was actually pretty sweet. Read… 12/02/13 4:45pm 12/02/13 4:45pm

Axl Rose's ex is auctioning off some of the Guns N' Roses singer's love letters. Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are petty. Read… 11/20/13 5:40pm 11/20/13 5:40pm

Love feels like the greatest thing in the world... until it ends. When it does, we stop functioning at our full capacity. We lose motivation, find challenges insurmountable, and sometimes feel like we won’t love again. Fortunately, several studies have uncovered the root of why breakups just plain suck—and what you can … Read on Lifehacker 11/11/13 2:19pm 11/11/13 2:19pm

Today, a study from the Ministry of Underestimation has found that one in ten women prefer their pet to their partner. (Other forthcoming studies: Cheese Is Pretty Ok; Some People Like Soccer a Little). Read… 11/08/13 1:10pm 11/08/13 1:10pm

When it comes to summarizing the nuanced ups and downs of relationships, this single-shot five minute video gets it. From slightly awkward first impression to the apparently inevitable threesome proposal (do those actually happen THAT often?), save yourself the love-struck headache of actually being in a relationship … Read… 10/17/13 3:20pm 10/17/13 3:20pm

No relationship is entirely devoid of secrets; I once went out with a guy for 6 months without him knowing where I lived (I forget why I did this; I was 24 and now that I think of it, the whole thing may have been an experiment? I don't know). But whoever said all's fair in love and war has obviously never attempted… Read… 10/10/13 5:10pm 10/10/13 5:10pm

A man in Norfolk, Nebraska, helped his friend plan a burglary at Speedway Auto Parts, and even accompanied his buddy to the location. But at the last minute, the man hesitated and did not climb the fence to unlawfully enter the business. A judge considered this as the man was being sentenced earlier this week.

I know these survey results about how 50% of U.S. adults say they hide from their friends and family members who vent about their relationship problems don't relate to me and my BFFs because I just asked them if it's annoying when I make them close-read and analyze my love life-related Gchats. They all said, "No,… Read… 9/23/13 7:00pm 9/23/13 7:00pm

In "this will never work in a hundred million years or in any other dimension or astral plane" news, the UK's Education Secretary Michael Gove is suggesting kids ditch the dick pics in favor of tender sonnets about budding love and mutual respect. Good luck with that! Read… 9/23/13 10:00am 9/23/13 10:00am

Just as getting a neck tattoo is a double-down bet that you'll never be hired for a faculty position at Liberty University (or, uh, a client-facing position at a bank), so too is getting a couples tattoo a bet that you and your smoochie woochy will never break up. Good luck with that. Read… 9/03/13 5:20pm 9/03/13 5:20pm

In early August, Harold and Ruth Knapke died on the same day, just before what would have been their 66th anniversary. If a movie along those lines hadn't already been made starring some of the most aesthetically desirable humans on the planet, some scribe in Hollywood would be furiously writing it now.

Something nice happened! Something really actually nice happened! A woman in Kent, WA (King County! Woooooo!) discovered that her wedding dress was stolen out of the trunk of her car on her wedding day. (King County. Boooooooooo.)

It's a well-documented fact that love don't cost a thing; however, the environment necessary for love to take root in one's heart and flourish is really expensive — both in terms of time and money. Love is like an elusive street cat that wanders haphazardly into your home but will refuse to linger if you don't feed… Read… 8/13/13 7:00pm 8/13/13 7:00pm

Doing things that aren't "playing games on an iPhone" can be really, really hard and boring sometimes.

At the risk of wading into the lukewarm bathtub of hyperbole, service dogs are pretty much the greatest creatures in the entire world, perhaps even in the galaxy. There are probably some crazy awesome levitating jelly monsters that live by a code of pure altruism in some far corner of the universe, but that hardly… Read… 7/07/13 4:00pm 7/07/13 4:00pm

Last night on the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert gave a heartfelt tribute to his mom, Lorna Colbert, who passed away last week at age 92.
