It has only been about a week since Hilary Duff filed for divorce from her husband Mike Comrie after five years of marriage.

 The couple split in 2014 but the divorce was only filed when Mike was accused of propositioning a woman for sex in Beverley Hills last month.

Mike and Hilary have one child together, Luca and are still on good terms but it sounds as if the divorce has taken its toll on Hilary’s outlook on love. Speaking to Cosmopolitan, the singer said she’s not sure she believes in ‘happily ever after’ anymore:

 “I don’t want to sound bitter because I’m definitely not, but I don’t know if people are meant to be together forever. Things happen over a long relationship that you can’t always fight. A marriage of 20 years, the accomplishment of that must feel really great, but there are also huge sacrifices.”

Speaking about getting married at the tender age of 22, Hilary said it just made sense: “Mike and I were very in love when we met. We both really wanted to get married. I’d been working since the age of 11 or 12, so making that choice at a young age seemed right for me.”

However, Hilary says, things began to shift: “It was just a slow set-in of us not being the match we used to be. I’m lucky for the person he is and I am and how we decided to handle this.”

Wow, it seems like these two definitely have the ‘mature break-up’ down!

We’ve all tried our hand at many the dating site and app, but often it just becomes frustrating and annoying.

Now, a survey conducted by dating site, Just Ask Me Out, has discovered what is holding those prospective dates back – messaging!

Rather than going back and forth in messages with someone for days, even weeks with no mention of a date, Just Ask Me Out’s no messaging policy has proved a hit on the London dating scene. This no-messaging policy means that you and the person of your fancy or compatibility have no choice but to head out there and meet up, cutting out digital small talk and time that could be spent really getting to know one another in person. 

Founder of the site, Alex Rowley had this to say on the topic of messaging in the dating world: “Londoners have spoken and the results of our survey indicate that singles are sick and tired of dating sites that encourage endless back and forth messaging. Rather than spend days, weeks or even months on end wondering who is going to make the first move, Just Ask Me Out revolutionises the dating game and makes sure a face-to-face meet up is organised from the word go.”

The site has proved a huge hit as it cuts out the small talk and sometimes awkward digital flirting – and has even won Best Up & Coming Dating Site 2015 at the iDate Awards in the US recently.

So if you’re ready to ditch the online dating scene and really actually get out there on dates – this is the dating site for you!

There are certain things you may feel so angry you could say in an argument with your boyfriend – but trust us, it will make the patching up time even longer and more complicated.

Obviously, if there is something bothering you, by all means say it but don’t let the heat of the moment make you say something you don’t actually think on a normal day.

Like these…

‘This is JUST like that last time you…’
No. That was another fight, another day, another time. You got over than and moved on – why are you bringing it up again?

‘I’m fine’
You're obviously not – why say it? Women are notorious for saying everything is fine before later exploding into a red ball of fiery words. Keep calm and say instead: ‘No, I’m actually not fine because…’

‘You absolute annoying, useless gobs****’
While we know the words we use are often a lot worse that what’s above, the point is to always avoid name calling of any kind in an argument. It can really hurt and take time for someone to get over the fact that you may actually think of them as annoying and useless. And a gobs****.

‘Why don’t we just break-up?!’
Do not break up with someone during a huge fight. Take time to think about it and if you still feel the same way after everything has calmed down, then perhaps it is something you may want to discuss. Making ultimatums during a blow-out is never a good idea.

‘Just get out/I’m leaving!’
While some time apart may be a good idea, it’s better to approach it with a ‘let's cool off, let's get some frozen yoghurt or something' and then after the fire has calmed, you will both be able to deal with things with a clear head.

Wow, we thought The Notebook's Noah was being romantic when he told Allie he'd written her a love letter every day for a year… but it looks like he has a long way to go to top this!

74-year-old Bill Bresnan has written a love letter to his wife Kirsten every day for almost 40 years, and she has kept every one of them.

Bill says the notes began as small scribbles and doodles on napkins shortly after the couple met while commuting on the same train to work, but that he began writing one every day when they married, almost four decades ago.

"All the letters are signed, 'I love you, my darling' with an infinity sign," Bill told ABC News. "They're essentially a love diary. For example, I could pick out a day in 1982, and it'll begin with the restaurant we ate in or a movie we saw and then a reaction to that."

And what's Bill's secret to  healthy marriage? Good communication – like forty years of letters, for example! "We've never had a fight once in almost 40 years of marriage," Bill said. "We might disagree on something, but we talk about it rather than argue."

Bill says he's never missed a letter – even when the couple are away he'll send postcards or write letters beforehand. "My biggest fear now, given my age, is forgetting — but luckily I'm still pretty sharp," he admitted.

So romantic. Is someone chopping onions in here, or…?!

Twitter has been getting all romantic on us as the world gears up for the most loved-up day of the year tomorrow.

The hashtag #WhatIsLoveIn4Words has been trending today and we have to say there have been some pretty adorable – as well as some pretty hilarious – takes on what love is…in just four words.

Love = Doughnut. Always. 

The Harry Potter reference that kills us…even after all this time (sorry)

 The essential chocolate love

Ross and Rachel forever

Aww – we are definitely feeling the love today!

"If she goes away for a day or so, I'd miss her terrible." 

If you're feeling a bit anti-love in the run-up to Valentine's, this will definitely warm your heart up!

When it comes to falling in love and staying in love, we reckon Ireland's older generation are far wiser than we are… and we got a little bit choked up watching these couples talk about how they met, and what they still love about one another to this day.

Despite the fact that the last ever episode of Friends aired over ten years ago (we're SO old), Ross and Rachel remain one of those classic couples you think of when true love crops into question. 

Why? Because they were realistic, things were far from perfect, they made mistakes but in the end, it all worked out the way we needed it to. 

Here are 7 lessons Ross and Rachel taught us about love:

1. It’s always important to have fun together

2. A little jealousy is healthy…

3. But too much can lead to disaster

4. It’s not what you say, it’s what you do that counts

5. Things aren’t always black and white

6. You should always support your love's interests…no matter what they are

7. Just because you *really* want something to work out, doens’t mean it will

8. But at the end of the day, true love will always prevail

Aww! We love you as much as you love each other, Ross and Rachel!

It’s true that Sex and the City taught us a lot about life and love.

However, not all of it was beneficial. Sure, we didn’t need sex ed growing up because it taught us all we need to know, but we have been left with some seriously unrealistic expectations when it comes to the love game…

Here are just a few of the unrealistic things Sex and the City has taught us to expect in love:

If you blatantly cheat, your love will still be there waiting for you
And years later, you’ll STILL break up with him…damn it Samantha

The biggest douche in your love life will turn out to be the love of your life
We bloody well hope not

AND he’ll follow you to Paris to proclaim his love
Ahahaha, is that a joke? He still asks for petrol money

Getting dumped is definitely a good enough excuse to get yourself arrested
We know it was a Post-It but it’s not going to work, Carrie

You will meet ‘The One who got away’ years later and realise the douche really is the one for you
Nope…

If it's true love, he will build you the wardrobe of your dreams
Just be lucky he turns up to the wedding, ya?

Men will just arrive outside your door in limos waiting to take you anywhere you like
Still waiting. They're probably stuck in traffic.

When Stan Beaton lost his beloved wife, Ruby, back in 2003, he used her recording on their shared voicemail as a comfort in his time of loss.

Over the years, Stan has said that he used the recording as a source of comfort if he was having a particularly hard day or missing her.

However, last month, the recording disappeared as Virgin undertook some work, leaving Stan heartbroken.

After lots of hard work and effort, the Virgin team managed to salvage the recording, and watching Stan listening to it afterwards is just heartwarming. Taken aback by the lengths the company went to for him to be reunited with his wife’s voice, Stan says: “Ten people?! That must have cost a fortune!”

Virgin also offered to donate money to a charity of Stan’s choice as a further apology while the 68-year-old plans to repay their efforts with a present of a lovely bottle of Glendfiddich. 

Such a lovely story – we're so glad that Stan got to hear his wife's voice again.
