    • VIDEO: Help! I Caught My Husband Looking at Porn. What Should I Do?

    • Shiri Appleby is the apple of our eye!

      It's true that most TV viewers would recognize Shiri Appleby from her days on Roswell as Liz Parker or Life Unexpected as Cate Cassidy, the gal we cheered for and couldn't help but love. But Shiri-who has a great roster of credits to her name-is just as rockstar as the characters she plays.

      I had a chance to talk to Shiri about her web series debuting January 9, Dating Rules From My Future Self, which promises to shed a fun, colorful perspective on owning your own love life and maybe finding yourself in the process. Surely, it will give us yet another reason to fall in love with the 33-year-old (plus, her co-star is The Vampire Diaries' hunk and Lady Gaga's new main squeeze, Taylor Kinney).

      Here, Shiri fills us in on the series, her busy days producing, writing and of course, her love life:

    • VIDEO: Should I Tell My Spouse About an Affair?


      Is it selfish to confess an affair to your wife or husband? If it makes you feel better but makes them feel worse, is that OK? And, how are they ever going to trust you again once your infidelity sees the light of day?

      In this video, Relationship and YourTango Expert Janie Lacy offers her advice to a reader who has cheated on his wife and is debating whether or not to come clean. He's worried his confession is just "continuing the selfish act." To help him out, Janie outlines the risk factors to not fessing up, which include the building fear that will keep him distant from his wife and the possibility of her finding out another way.

      On the other hand, if he confesses to his infidelity, he'll have to be prepared for a long road of honesty and earning back her trust. See what Janie suggests he do in the video above.

    • Do Political Wives Hold All of the Power in Their Relationships?

      Ann Romney stands behind her husband, Mitt Romney, in more ways than one.
      As they say, behind every great man is an even greater woman-or at the very least, one who's calling the shots when their husband isn't willing to do so. Whether or not you consider Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney or Donald Trump great, one thing you can't deny is that they're all very ambitious men, and all three of them have their wives to thank for it.

      As was revealed in a recent New York Times article, it was Romney's wife, Ann, who urged him to run despite his reservations. She told her husband and his perfect hair that no one else would be able to beat Obama in the next election, that the country's economy couldn't be saved by anyone else, that it was practically Romney's duty to jump on the campaign trail and get things moving. So, that's exactly what Romney did, and despite her multiple sclerosis, Ann is with him at every spot.

      The same can be said for Trump who claims that it was his wife Melania who was the one to convince him that if he ran, he'd win-and quite "easily," too.

    • How to Make (And Keep) New Year's Resolutions as a Couple

      Your relationship can help or hinder your 2012 goals.

      The moment the last bit of Christmas gift wrap flutters to the ground, the glitter and shine of the holiday season become claustrophobic to me. I itch to clean the house, to strip it of the fuss of the holidays. I want to organize our new toys, all while running around the park to undo the feelings of pre-diabetes that my holiday indulgences bring. These urges always lead me straight to the cliché of all clichés, the ill-fated New Year's resolutions.

      "This will be the year," I think, "the year where my holiday recovery is going to land me directly into a year with better habits. This is the year I'm going to be the best me I can be."

      Sometimes it works, but we all know sometimes it doesn't. Work and family schedules interfere, as do the tidal pull of the habits we hope to break in the first place. But when you're in a serious relationship, there's a whole other element to consider when trying to make a lifestyle change. These are choices that will affect your partner. Will your

    • 5 Reasons We Knew Russell Brand and Katy Perry's Marriage Wasn't Going to Last

      Where did the love go?

      After much speculation and a Christmas spent in different parts of the world, Russell Brand filed for divorce last week from his wife of a little over a year, Katy Perry. And while some of their fans might be shocked by the split, we had a feeling these two crazy kids might have been rushing into things when they became engaged in December 2009, just three months after they started dating. Below are five reasons we saw their divorce coming from miles away.

      1. Russell Rushed Katy Into Marriage
      By Russell Brand's own account, he and Katy didn't start dating until they reconnected at the September 2009 VMA Awards, where they were spotted making out at an after-party. And although they were only officially a couple for a few short months before they got engaged, Russell didn't want to wait to marry the pop singer and proposed to Katy, then 25, on a holiday trip to India.

      "He is a recovering addict and in love with the idea of being in love. He told her that they'd overcome any Read More »from 5 Reasons We Knew Russell Brand and Katy Perry's Marriage Wasn't Going to Last
