This. Is. Amazing.

So, by now it looks as if there may be some real truth to the rumour that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin are dating.

The news comes not long after Jennifer’s split from long-term boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, was announced and only a week after it was revealed Chris’s ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, is dating Glee’s co-creator, Brad Falchuk.

So far, the best thing to come out of this unusual coupling (sorry…) is their, quite frankly, hilarious nickname.

Let’s face it, it was never going to work with their first names, was it? Instead, the focus was shifted to their surnames and Martin Lawrence was born.

Yes, that’s right, real Martin Lawrence, Jennifer and Chris just stole your name. You’ll have to find a new one.

There are a whole variety of things responsible for leading you to dump someone. Too clingy, very loud, being a cheat. If someone’s not right for you, you just know.

However, for every perfectly feasible reason out there, there are a thousand shitty ones. Read on and get some inspiration for yourself. Just don’t say I told you.

1. You’re Not Ready For A Relationship Despite Being 23 Years Of Age

What she said. 

2. They Consider Take-Away To Be A Delicacy

Don't be a food snob. They like what they like – if you stick with them think of all the ingenious ways you can try to get some kale into them. Exciting!

3. They Drink Blue WKD

Erm…really? We'll let this one slide. 

4. You Think You’ll Get Way Better

With an ego as large as yours, you should be so lucky.

5. There’s A Justin Bieber Album On Their IPod

Actually, this is a pretty valid reason to dump them. What the hell were you thinking?

6. They Live More Than 15 Minutes Away

Lazy. This is not 1764. We have cars and stuff now.

7. Their Clothes Are Terrible

So dress them! Duh. If Kanye did it for Kim, you can do it for your man. 

8. You Have A Sneaking Suspicion That Their Sister Is A Bit Of A Bi***

So what if she is. You don’t have to go out with her, after all. 

9. They Don’t Pay For Absolutely Everything

How shocking, this must be the 50′s after all.

10. All Of Your Friends Are Single

You know what your mom says about doing things because other people are (don't)…

11. They Play Too Much Sports

Yes being fit, toned and healthy is a massive no no. You’re dead right on that one.

12. They Haven’t Watched Breaking Bad

This means you get to watch it all over again – so what's the issue?!

Everyone says that nice guys finish lastthere are some guys that act nice on the outside, but on the inside are really just a bit mean. They are always trying to keep up this facade, but sooner or later you will realise their true intentions. Here are the signs that your boyfriend is an asshole in disguise:

1. They act different around you when they’re with other people
They could be the most sweet and generous boyfriend one minute and then when they’re with their friends they act 12 years old. If he changes how he act towards you when you’re with other people, he has his own agenda and is ingenuine

2. He always says that he is too “busy”
We all get swamped from time to time, but if this becomes commonplace, he clearly doesn’t value your time. If he actually cares about you he will make time to see you, no matter how busy he is. It’s always easy to dress things up as being busyrather than telling the truth.

3. There is always an excuse for why they can’t pay
“I’m getting paid at the end of the week, so I’ll pay you back,” most of the time they never do and if they do it’s way too late. Guy’s shouldn’t always have to pay for the meal, but they should at least do it every now and again to be courteous. Just like you do!

4. If they’re always just “joking”
There is nothing wrong with playful teasing, but when if it seems like they are always trying to put a veil over everything they say , they could just be a nasty guy. If he really cared he would know when he is crossing the line, if he’s an asshole in disguise he’ll just say things without worrying about the consequences.

5. It takes forever for them to text you back
When you ask them why they didn’t text you back they always say that they forgot. From time to time they do, but if you seem to always be waiting for them to reply, you’re clearly not their priority.

6. They don’t want to make things official
They say that they just need some time  and not to rush into anything. If this is going on for  months, then he is clearly taking advantage of you. If he doesn’t want to commit then he shouldn’t be in a relationship and he is getting all the benefits of being in a relationship without actually being in one.

 

7. He zones out on conversations way too much
Guys do have a tendency to zone out in conversations with women from time to , it’s just one of those thingsIf he always seems to be checking his phone when you’re talking to him or clearly isn’t listening he’s not really invested in you.

8. They pretend to like your friends
You’re not going to get on with everyone, but if he clearly has no intention of getting to know your friends he is not making an effort. They might act like they’re really getting on with them, but then tell you that they don’t like them. It seems to be the same with most of your friends so the problem is clearly him.

9. It’s always what THEY want to do
They always suggest what they want to do and never give you a chance to decide. They won’t put down your suggestion they just give a reason to do what they want to do. “It will be fun, trust me”, it may seem innocent, but  really they are only thinking about themselves.

10. It’s never their fault
If you are having an argument they will always turn everything back on you,  so they aren’t made out to be the bad guy. They will always have an excuse and never take the blame for doing something even when they’re in the wrong.

11. They never remember those important dates
In all fairness, it seems like there are anniversaries for every little thing nowadays, but if they can’t remember when you first met they have got their priorities wrong. Guys aren’t the best at remembering dates, but if he forgets about Valentine’s Day he is clearly a terrible boyfriend.

12. He is selfish in bed
There is nothing wrong with a guy taking control in the bedroom, but if it’s all for him and nothing for her then it’s not mutual. If he’s selfish in the bedroom and it’s only what he wants to do, then you’re dating the wrong guy.

It seems as if Gwyneth Paltrow just cannot escape rumours about her love life.

From a reconciliation with her ex, Chris Martin, to being linked with this new name, we just can’t keep up!

It has now been reported that the Iron Man actress is dating none other than the co-creator of Glee, Brad Falchuk.

For those who watch the show, this may not come as a big surprise, seeing as Gwyneth has appeared on the show many times as character, Holly Holliday.

Brad and his ex-wife, Suzanne, called an end to their 10-year marriage only last year, while Gwyneth and Chris announced their separation in March.

Whether the rumours may be just that, rumours, Chris and Gwyneth seem to be in a very loving and mature place.

In this age of communication, long distance relationships are becoming more and more common. As well as more people meeting online, with so many young people leaving Ireland to find work you might find yourself suddenly in a different country from your beloved.

There are ways to make it work though, and app developers are on the case. Here are three relationship apps which will help the two of you stay in touch.

Couple

Couple is basically just a social network, but for only two people. You can send messages, share photos, and schedule important events – from you anniversary to your nightly Skype call.

Cutest of all, it has a feature called “Thumb Kissing” where it will show you where your partners thumb is pressed on their screen so you can press your there too. Aww.

Avocado

With Avocado you can send messages between the two of you, share lists and archive special moments.

You can also create personal emoticon – “photocons” – shared just between the two of you.

The sweetest part is the name; avocados only grow in pairs.

2Life

This is the most comprehensive couples app. With this you can not only chat privately, create lists and record events, but you can share a daily journal between you to record your feeling while apart.

It’s the next best thing to being in the same room.

There is a lot that goes on in a guy’s mind, but not all of them you can say to us girls. Here is a list of things guys think, but don't say: 

1. “Why do you wear so much makeup?"
It’s actually a compliment, but if you said it to a girl you don’t know how they would take it. 

2.  "I wish you would make a move”
Though many women these days are brave enough to make a move, so many more of us think it should be up to the guy. 

3. “Your friend is hot”
You know he is thinking it but God help him if he says it…!

4.  "I would rather hang out with my mates”
Sometimes guy’s  need to just hang out with their friends, but they don’t want to upset things and so they stay in with their girl. It’s ok to blow them off every now and again, but a guy needs to see his mates just as much as a girl needs to see her besties.

5. “I’m actually broke”
When a guy pays for a meal usually he is just doing it to be courteous and a lot of the time he is actually broke. If a girl offers to pay her share of the meal, guys will always be grateful.

6.  "I’m so immature”
As the saying goes “boys will be boys” and no matter how grown up they get, there will always be some immaturity in there. As much as they put on a front of manliness, once they get with friends any maturity goes out the window. 

7. “I have no idea what you’re talking about?"
They simply have no idea what is actually coming out of your mouth most of the time. Just go with it. 

8.  "Why do you bitch about other girls so much?”
They may think this, but at the same time they'll be giving out yards about their bro's new girlfriend. Pot. Kettle. Black. 

9.  "I don’t know what to do when you cry”
Guys don’t deal with drama well and if a girl is crying, sure they will comfort us, but inside they have no idea what to do. 

10. "I don’t know which looks better on you”
Girls insist on asking guys which outfit looks better on them, and they generally have no clue.

11. “That dress does make you look fat”
Thankfully, if you are with a good guy, he won't think it, let alone say it. 

12.  "I actually don’t want to watch a chick flick”
Suuuure…

13.  "I get really jealous when I see you with other guys”
If a guy likes a girl of course he is going to get a bit jealous when he sees her with other guys, it’s only natural. Even if you have been together for a while, there is always that seed of doubt that is planted in a guy’s mind.

14. “I don’t want to meet your parents”
Your dad used to be a bouncer? See ya!

15. “Stop stressing out so much about how you look"
Well, we kind of wish they would say this one…

A survey into people’s happiness and satisfaction in relationships has shown that it’s the little things which matter most.

The factors which lead to a good relationship include at least five kisses a day, sharing chores if you live together, sharing hobbies and having at least one romantic dinner a month.

The survey was produced to mark the launch of the Two Together Railcard in the UK, and not coincidentally it found that couples are happier when they travel together. On the train perhaps. Ahem.

Marketing aside, the survey shows that the most important thing for couples is to be affectionate and to spend time together. Plan dates, have fun together and always let your partner know how much you appreciate them.

This whole love thing isn’t so complicated after all.

It has been revealed that infamous couple, Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson, are back together!

The couple are planning on getting married (again) and the news was announced by Courtney herself over her Twitter account.

When a fan asked her to confirm the happy news, she replied: “It’s true, hun.”

Courtney and Doug received a lot of media attention during their relationship due to the big age gap between them; Courtney was only 16 at the time, while Doug was 51.

The married couple later announced they were separating in November 2013.

You poked the bear. Now you must deal with the consequences, and boy can we tell you it's not going to be pretty. Here are the 8 signs of a woman scorned: 

1. The Icy Silence
Following your first outburst/accusation/fight kicker-offer, she won’t say anything. She will probably sit there and take it all in. You may think at first that perhaps she’s maturing, she’s going to approach this like an adult, calmly and with caution. Do not be lured into a false sense of security. She is merely building up her fight mode. 

2. The Hidden Ammo
You thought she didn’t notice when you liked that girl’s photo? When you wished your horrible ex-girlfriend a “super birthday”? When you forgot to buy her a birthday card? WOMEN NEVER FORGET. This much you will learn quickly.

3. Excessive Swearing
Just because she’s a pretty, petite lady at the best of times, does not mean that she won’t call you some of the most shocking names under the sun. Did she make that one up? 

4. The Cold Harsh Truth
She’s going to tell you exactly what she really thinks of you. Every gruesome detail. The sneaking suspicion that she dislikes your family, friends and hair, will be voiced loudly and clearly. Also, those chinos you wear are too tight, your style is terrible and it IS a big deal. Hurts, doesn’t it?

5. Questions/No Answers
The words “excuse me” are usually used in a polite context, except when used by an extremely angry woman. When she says “excuse me,” what she really means is that she wants you to repeat the completely stupid thing that you’ve just uttered, so that she can really begin to build a stupid case against you. Also, she’s asking you the same facts over and over again, in the vague hope that you’ll mess up some of them. Nice try.

6. Dragging Up The Past
Remember that fight that you don’t actually even remember? She sure does. What.. But… That was two years ago? EXACTLY. Exactly what? What’s happening? Help….

7. Storming Out Dramatically
By now she’ll probably have worn herself out, what with all of the shouting, swearing, and remembering what she’s been doing. So, in order to fully prepare for the next stage of punishing you, she is now going to storm out and tell you to, under no uncertain terms, “f*** off,” followed by at least three doors being slammed. This is purely for dramatic effect. You understand.

8. Turning Her Friends Against You
Six days (minimum) later and you finally think that you’ve gotten over this stumbling block, so to speak. She’s finally thawed out and cooled down. You begin to relax. Let us be the first to inform you that your relief is short lived, because it’s pretty much guaranteed that she has told all of her long suffering girlfriends once again about what an utter ass you are. So they now need the adequate time to process their anger in a timely, bitchy fashion. Let this be a lesson to all of mankind. Never, ever start a fight with a woman. She will always, always win.

For every great relationship you see, there are a dozen bad ones, and it's usually because someone hasn't honest with themselves about what they want. If you’re having doubts about your relationship, make sure you’re not in it for the wrong reasons.

You don’t want to be alone

One of the most important steps to loving yourself is to love your own company. If you can’t stand spending time by yourself you need to examine why. Do you really love him or are you using him to drown out your inner monologue?

You’ve already been together for years

This is what’s known as the 'sunk cost fallacy'. It doesn’t matter that you’ve been together one, two or five years. That time is gone, and it shouldn’t affect your decision. You should only consider the future in a relationship. What do you want for the next five years? Don’t stay with someone just because it’s easier.

You want a relationship

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a boyfriend, but make sure it’s not clouding your judgement. Ask yourself, are you together because you really want to be with this person, or because you just want to be with someone?

All your friends are in relationships.

Ah, our old friend peer pressure. As you get older, you’ll notice your friends start to pair off and fade away from the social scene. When you find yourself the only single person in your group, it can be tempting to find someone just to be part of the club. It is a waste of your time though. Find yourself more friends, not a placeholder boyfriend.

Don’t look Jamie Linden – your ex is moving on!

Zooey Deschanel split up with Jamie Linden after she was reportedly seen going for lunch with producer Jacob Pechenik, and it looks as though she’s made it official with her new man!

The New Girl star was seen walking hand in hand with the producer, and the pair looked totally happy and relaxed. Zooey hadn’t even bothered to put her signature make-up on, and to be honest, if we looked like her, we wouldn’t either!

Let’s hope this is one relationship with a happy ending!

So, recently you've noticed your relationship has taken a turn for the worst, and you’re not quite sure what it is. You think that it has to be you, but more than likely it’s him.

If you are feeling a little bit unsure of whether it is time to call it quits, here are the signs that you need to break up with your boyfriend:

1. You put way more into the relationship than he does
It seems like you’re the only one that is putting any effort into working things out. Even when you aren’t in the mood and just want to be alone, you will at least try. They just act like they don’t care.

2. He doesn’t make any effort to dress up anymore
When he knows that he is going to see you, he dresses the same as he always would. Sometimes he gets  too comfortable and wears his tracksuit bottoms. It’s not like he needs to wear a tuxedo or anything , but at least he could groom himself.

3. You’re constantly fighting over small things
It seems that anything will set you off and it’s the little things he does that get under your skin. This a definite sign that you need to dump them. You seem to have more arguments with him than proper conversations.

4. You look forward to being with your friends more than him
What’s the point of being in a relationship if you don’t enjoy spending time with him. If you feel like you always want to be with your friends rather than him then it’s a very clear sign that you need to cut your losses.

5. He doesn’t value your opinion
If he has a problem or needs a second opinion on something he won’t ask you for help. It’s a clear sign that he doesn’t think much of what you think. If he really did, he would ask for your advice and stop acting like an asshole.

6. They have become incredibly predictable
Sometimes it’s good to have a day where you usually meet up, but spontaneity keeps a relationship alive. If they always say they will definitely be there and always let you down, it’s time to move on.

 

7. You always seem to have a big fight when you go out together
Drink doesn’t make your arguments any better, if anything it escalate things. You see him checking other girls out  and you want to punch him in the face. This is a definitive sign that  you need to dump him.

8. You can’t seem to agree on anything
When you go onto Netflix you can never ever decide what to watch, so you just end up watching a movie that you have seen ten times before. Whenever you go out for dinner together you can never decide where to go, it always ends up being pizza.

9. He has no shame insulting you
If he really cared about you he would know the difference between a bit of banter and a full blown insult. A boyfriend that cares is one that doesn’t hurt your feelings for no reason, so clearly you need to give him the boot.

10. He never wants to do what you want to do
The key to any successful relationship is compromise, and if he never wants to do what you want to do, he isn’t a good boyfriend. They don’t have to pretend to like it, but at least he can be open to trying new things.

11. You have realised that there was never really a spark
Sure, you had things in common and shared some of the same views, but over time you have to come to realise that there was never really a spark. It’s not always physical either, sometimes when things don’t click they don’t click.

12. Sex has become stale and infrequent
If he never seems to be in the mood or when he is, doesn’t even try, then he clearly has his mind on something else. It’s not to say that he is cheating on you, but clearly he has feelings for someone else and isn’t fully invested.

13. Even your family start to dislike him
Your family can actually be a good judge of character and they’ll be able to tell if he isn’t treating you right or not pulling his weight. Your father will always be skeptical and your mother has the final judgment. If your brother and sister even agree, they probably know who’s best for you.

14. You have considered cheating on him
If you aren’t happy when you’re with him and you get a bad feeling when you’re around them, then it’s a very clear sign. It’s not uncommon to think about cheating, there are other people in your life that make you happier than him.
