If These 22 Things Described Your Relationship, You Should Be HAPPY You Broke Up
Nobody ever jumps for joy after going through a breakup - we're not going to pretend that you should in any way be celebrating the end of your relationship with Champagne and toasts. Even when everyone around you says that you made the right choice, it can still be hard to let go. I'm speaking from legitimate experience when I say that I get it. When you're still reeling from the breakup, and after you put so much into the relationship, it's easy to begin to question why you're letting it go and moving on. These are the 22 signs that you did in fact make the right choice to end things - read 'em and rest a little bit easier, then start making moves to move on!
- You always feared that they would leave you.
- You had more admiration for other couples than you did yourself and your SO.
- When you think back on what the relationship was like, the bad memories come up first.
- Jealousy was a major dynamic between the two of you.
- They made you feel bad for the things you're interested in.
- You didn't feel like they supported your career goals.
- You lost friends because of the relationship.
- There was a constant struggle for superiority; the two of you were never equals.
- Either of you would divulge that they missed the "old version" of the other.
- You didn't feel comfortable around their family, or vice versa.
- You felt like you had to hide an aspect of who you are to maintain their approval.
- Either of you had to vie for affection.
- You or they were constantly worried about what the other was doing when you were apart.
- Even small conflicts turned into tumultuous arguments.
- There were double standards - things that one of you could do that the other couldn't.
- Either of you were continually threatening to end the relationship.
- The relationship more often felt draining than it did uplifting.
- Your friends and family think the two of you are better off apart.
- You depended more on others for emotional support than you did your significant other.
- You often found yourself lashing out at your partner, sometimes without really knowing why.
- Your lives never fully (or easily) melded together.
- You were more often worried about your future together than you were excited for it.
4 Things I Wish People Would Stop Saying to Single Women
I don't talk much about my personal life, especially on the internet. Why? Partly because I tend to be a pretty private person, but also because I'm a single woman in my 20s. Mentioning my singledom, whether to friends and family or in passing online inevitably leads to a slew of uninvited comments. It definitely doesn't help that I'm hitting that age where the people I used to eat lunch and talk about philosophy homework with are getting married and having children and posting it all over social media. And as genuinely nice as it is to have people asking about my life because they care about me, it's also a little much sometimes - and my other single friends seem to run into a lot of the same things. So what are some of the most common things I hear? Here we go.
1. "Let me set you up with my (friend/coworker/brother's roommate's cousin)"
While I appreciate the thought, I really wish people would stop immediately trying to play matchmaker. While blind dates might work for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, more often than not, they're awkward and forced and the parties don't actually turn out to have as much in common as the matchmaker thinks. Offers like these put me in an awkward spot: How do I gracefully decline without hurting your feelings or indirectly insulting your friend? If we're actually close enough friends that I would go to you for dating advice, I promise I'll ask you directly if I think that guy from your cooking class's group Insta photo is cute. Otherwise, please let it be.
2. "You must not be trying hard enough."
GIRL. Believe me, I have tried. I really have a hard time when people say this because it implies that dating is something like riding a bike or learning to speak French; an objective thing that can be "achieved" through sheer willpower and effort. But since you're dealing with complex things like emotions and other human beings with emotions and free will, dating is not anything like that. Some of the single people I know have tried endless dating apps and hobby groups and all the "right" things and are still single, while some of the happiest couples I know met with almost no effort whatsoever, like something out of a movie. You can't "try" to fall for someone or "try" to have a connection, either.
The corollary to this: I genuinely think people who say things like this don't realize how much pressure it can put on the single person they're talking to. For me, at least, I can get pretty up in my own head when it comes to dating, and it can be hard sometimes to remind myself that my single status is not a "failure" on my part, but a simple fact of circumstance. But when people say things like this, it puts me right back in that mindset - and that's not conducive to trying to date either.
3. "You're single? But you're so (fill in positive adjective)!"
Uh, thanks, I guess? I never know what to say with this one. It's like a weird backhanded compliment. But, surprise! Singledom is not the domain of the "flawed"; being single does not mean something is wrong with someone. Being attractive / smart / good at talking / whatever is not the only thing that's important in dating. I know you think it's a compliment, but from the other side of it, it doesn't really feel like one. Plus, it's super awkward to try to figure out a response to that. I can't say "thank you" because it's not really a compliment, but I feel like I should because it sort of is one. It's just uncomfortable. Honestly, I'd rather talk about something related to whatever that trait is - that way, I know you see me as a whole person, not just with the big label "SINGLE" above all else.
4. Anything about how unhappy I must be, aka variations on "Don't worry!"
OK, I'll admit it: sometimes I do worry about dying alone. I'm pretty sure everyone who feels romantic attraction worries, at some point, about never meeting the love of their life. But here's the thing: that doesn't mean life doesn't start until then. I'm passionate about my career and have a master's degree to prove it. I love my friends and family. I have hobbies I enjoy. Pop culture so often portrays romance as the "missing puzzle piece" or something like that, but I don't think of it like that. It's more like moving into a different sized apartment: there's nothing inherently wrong with a small one, life just expands in interesting ways.
The truth is, sometimes I'm unhappy about being single. The truth also is, sometimes I'm perfectly happy being single. There are even times when I'm unhappy and it has absolutely nothing to do with my relationship status. It's not a one-size-fits-all thing, and it's certainly not a small-talk topic of conversation. I get it: the people who say something along these lines really do care about me; they say it because they don't want me to be unhappy. Assuming I'm unhappy single, though, makes me feel like the other things I do aren't of value or aren't enough to make a person happy.
What all of this really boils down to is this: please stop making assumptions about me just because I'm single. A relationship is certainly something I want, but it's still super uncomfortable when everyone tries to give me unasked-for advice, and it puts me in an awkward spot because I know the questions and advice do come from a place of caring. But when it comes down to it, I'm so much more than my relationship status, and in most cases, I'd much rather talk about something related to my work or my hobbies or my friends. And someday when it's time to introduce a wonderful guy, I'll feel a lot better if I can feel comfortable knowing the first words out of my loved ones' mouths won't be "Oh, FINALLY!"
Why I'm So Glad That I Got Dumped on Valentine's Day
On Valentine's Day, it's common to expect a dozen roses, a box filled with gooey chocolate, or a night out at a swanky restaurant, where you can load up on your favorite bubbly and fine dining cuisine. What you might not expect to happen is having the person you're deeply in love with look you in the eye and break up with you on what is known as the most love-filled day of the year. It happened to me.
The first boyfriend I ever had broke up with me on the second Valentine's Day we ever spent together. He came over that morning, with flowers I could tell he picked up last-minute at the grocery store. They were sad-looking and the petals were wilting, much like the expression on his face when he walked in the door. He sat down and I stood because I could tell something was wrong, and when something is wrong, I like to stand. It helps me process my emotions better, as it allows the energy to flow through my body, rather than come right out of my eyes and nose in the form of tears and snot.
Within five minutes, we went from being madly in love to taking the first step toward becoming distant strangers. He told me he didn't love me anymore. He told me there was someone else. He told me he wanted to wait to break up until after Valentine's Day, but he figured in the end, it was just a day, so why not just get it over with.
I got the whole "sad ending of a love story" scene over with too. I asked him to leave. I asked him to leave the flowers. They were orange and yellow and I liked the way they slumped over.
It was terrible at the time, but surprisingly, that feeling didn't last. Months after the moment happened, it became something I laughed about when out with friends and something that taught me more lessons than any other love situation I had ever been in taught me before. These are three lessons I learned after getting dumped on Valentine's Day.
It Changed the Way I Looked at the 14th of February
Getting broken up with on Valentine's Day didn't make me roll my eyes at the holiday. It made me appreciate it even more. It's a day that shouldn't be spent with just one person. If you have a lot of people in your life you love and adore, make plans to be with them during the holiday too. I used to think it was just a day for romance with the person you were dating, but really it's more for celebration, even if that means you ditch the candlelit dinner for a night at home with a crew of the people who love you all year long.
It Made Me More Aware of Red Flags
When my relationship ended abruptly on Valentine's Day a few years ago, I was at first really surprised. But then I started opening my eyes to all the things that were wrong, all the red flags that I ignored. My boyfriend at the time didn't want to ever be around my friends, he was very protective of me touching his phone or using it, and he would cancel plans a lot without giving me any reason. I had funny feelings along the way, but I kept them buried because I didn't want the relationship to end. Getting broken up with on a day like Valentine's Day made me realize that I don't deserve to just go with the flow in a relationship. If I feel like something is wrong, I have to have the courage to acknowledge it.
It Taught Me a Lesson in Self-Love
One of the biggest and best lessons I learned from getting dumped on V-Day is that on the 14th of February, no matter who you are with or what you are planning to do that day, you should do something for yourself. Take yourself out for a spa treatment, go eat your favorite lunch, take your favorite workout class, or treat yourself to an afternoon shopping. Whatever your idea of self-love is, make sure you dive into it on the day of love this year, and every year, no matter what.
15 Alternative Valentine's Day Date Ideas Way More Romantic Than Going Out to Eat
In case you were wondering and have not heard the subtle whispering in your ear from your significant other or seen the obnoxiously large plush teddy bears in your local grocery store, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. You need to get a move on planning something romantic ASAP. Like most romantic holidays, Valentine's Day can feel repetitive year after year, and people begin to dread planning anything at all. As one of the most heavily overrated holidays after New Year's Eve, it's easy to feel disenchanted with the underwhelming chocolates, long-stem rose bouquets, and stuffy restaurants that have become overly predictable.
Fear not, we're got you covered with date ideas to impress your partner - they're better than an overpriced dinner reservation. After all, what's romance without a little surprise, adventure, and mystery? Try out these 15 alternative Valentine's Day dates that are far from cliché. These ideas will provide infinite opportunities for you and your beau to celebrate love your way. Because seriously, whoever invented those chocolates with the gross cherry liquor in the center clearly knew nothing.
5 Things to Know About Stacey Abrams, the Political Dynamo Responding to Trump's SOTU
In a break with tradition, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams will give the Democratic response to President Trump's State of the Union address on Feb. 5.
Typically, the opposition party chooses a well-known figure in Congress or a sitting governor to respond to the sitting president's address. This year, Democratic leaders bucked tradition in selecting Abrams. Abrams lost the 2018 election to Republican Brian Kemp by a margin of 54,700 votes - the narrowest race in years - amid widespread allegations of voter suppression, particularly in communities of color. If Abrams won the election, she not only would have become the first black woman elected governor in the United States, but the first woman to ever hold the office in Georgia.
Tonight, Abrams will return to the political stage: this time, the national one. Selecting Abrams signals that the Democratic Party is publicly backing young progressive leaders ahead of the 2020 elections.
Here are five things to know about Abrams ahead of tonight's rebuttal:
1. She Was an Accidental High-School Politician
Abrams was born in Wisconsin and grew up with five siblings in Mississippi. When she was a teen, her parents relocated the family to Atlanta in the pursuit of higher education - they both aimed to become Methodist ministers. There, Abrams attended Avondale High School. "I was away on a trip, and while I was gone, I got elected to a [student board]," Abrams told Essence. "They put my name in and that was my first election. It was a great way to win an election, not to have to run, not to even have to put my name in." If that wasn't proof of her success streak, she went on to become the valedictorian of her graduating class.
2. She Isn't Afraid to Talk About Student Debt - Including Her Own
Abrams pursued various avenues of higher education, getting her undergraduate degree from Spelman College, a master's degree from the University of Texas's LBJ School of Public Affairs, and a law degree from Yale Law School. While she has dedicated much of her career to getting people out to vote (she founded the nonpartisan New Georgia Project in 2014, an effort to register voters of color), she has a strikingly candid take on student debt.
"I am in debt, but I am not alone," she wrote for Fortune of her near $200,000 in debt from school loans and personal debts. "We all still make money mistakes - but they don't have to be fatal to our dreams."
3. She's a Successful Romance Novelist
Perhaps most surprising is that Abrams has a side gig as a writer of "romantic suspense" novels. Abrams writes under the pen name Selena Montgomery (a move intended to keep her fiction writing separate for tax reasons) and has sold over 100,000 copies of her books. Her writing is published through major publishing house Harper Collins and, naturally, she's also written a biography under her real name about her work as an outsider hoping to change politics.
4. She Won All-Star Endorsements During Her Race For Governor
Abrams's list of endorsements during her race for governor was remarkably flashy and far-reaching. While her support in the state included civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis, she also received support from politicians like Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and Sen. Cory Booker - all of whom are running for president in 2020 - along with national organizations like Planned Parenthood, MoveOn, and EMILY's List.
5. She's Already Made Political History
Abrams has already made history in her work in politics: she was the Georgia House Minority Leader and, in 2010, became both the first woman to lead either party in the Georgia General Assembly and the first African American leading the House of Representatives in the state. As a politician, Abrams has made a name for herself as a "pragmatist willing to do deals with the Republicans" and has been a rising star for years, particularly after giving a splashy speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention about economic inequality.

Why Being Single on Valentine's Day Is the Best
Every Valentine's Day, I get texts from a few of my married friends that say things like, "I know Valentine's Day can be rough. Thinking of you!" I always respond with, "Awww. Love you! Happy V-Day," but if I'm being honest, I don't really get their sympathy. While I know they mean well, to me, being unattached is the way to go on Valentine's Day.
It's not that I think my loved-up friends have made a mistake, it's just they're the ones I feel a little bad for. Valentine's Day is one when expectations are extremely high and prix fixe menu prices are even higher.
I always have a great time on Valentine's Day because I don't have to deal with any of that pressure and still get showered with love. Yep, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: being single on Valentine's Day means you can have your cake and eat it too (literally!). So, if you're also riding solo this February, here are a few of the best perks to enjoy the day of love without a partner.
1. You Still Feel the Love
Sharing the love is one of the best parts about this day, and the fact that you don't have a designated valentine means you can spread your love far and wide! Text those kissy emoji to your gal pals, your grandma, your nieces and nephews, your longtime crush, and whoever else makes you smile. Blow a kiss to a firefighter, a businesswoman, or a random dog on the street. It's Valentine's Day, you're adorable, and you're completely free.
Putting this energy out there also isn't just good for your soul, you'll probably get it back in droves. By firing up your dating apps or heading out with friends, you're opening yourself up to receive that same love. On what some pessimists call "Singles Awareness Day," other nonvalentines are very much down to clown. A Tinder spokesperson confirmed this surge to POPSUGAR, saying, "Globally, Tinder saw a 10 percent increase in downloads on Valentine's Day in 2018." Hinge's Head of Communications Jean Marie McGrath also told POPSUGAR that the app sees a 10 percent uptick in dates being set up the week of Valentine's Day. Long story short? Get your flirt on and let the compliments roll in!
2. You Get to Do Whatever You Want
While couples everywhere stare intently into one another's eyes over a pricey meal in a crowded restaurant, us singles will be busy doing whatever the heck we want. I prefer a night out with some fellow single ladies, but if you're not in the socializing mood, a great way to participate is to celebrate glorious, wonderful you. Do something indulgent like buying yourself expensive sheets, taking a bubble bath, or ordering ice cream to be delivered to your doorstep (yep, that's a thing). What better way to remind yourself how great you are than to treat yourself the way you'd like to be treated? Sure, a special someone may not be in your life right at this moment, but setting expectations for how you want to be adored is a healthy, productive, and, most importantly, fun exercise that's perfectly fitting for Valentine's Day.
3. You're Guilt-Free
I don't know about you, but I've definitely known I was with the wrong person on past Valentine's Days, but stayed with them anyway because I didn't want to break up on the most romantic day of the year. I'm older and wiser now, which means I know that a mud mask and bubble bath for one is a lot better than arguing over a dinner reservation with someone who doesn't treat me well. If you're with the wrong person leading up to Valentine's Day, end it and don't feel bad or guilty about it. That might seem a little dark, but your own self-care and happiness should come first. Decide to love yourself, and that will always feel better than not being loved properly by someone else.
4. You Don't Have to Force It
You know when you get home from a nice dinner and you take off your jacket, give your date a suggestive glance, then scan the room and wonder how you can ditch your Spanx and simultaneously kill the lights so no one sees your after-dinner bloat? Sometimes you just don't feel that sexy after a big meal, which you inevitably had to have, because it's one of the many traps of a traditional Valentine's Day. We singles don't have to deal with that. Instead, we either find ourselves happily bloated with our pants unbuttoned in the comfort of our own homes or out with our buds having a relaxed time while maybe catching the eye of a stranger (if we feel like it). There's no end-of-night pressure to get busy or even look good. We can come home and let it all hang out.
So, whether you're single or attached this Valentine's Day, remember that both ways have it made. Being with a partner you truly love is awesome, but being single is pretty awesome, too.
Attention All Parents! You Need to Know About the Awesome "Every Kid in a Park" Program
Traveling with kids is not easy. It always feels like more of a trip than a vacation, and one challenge my family usually runs into is finding a place that will make everyone happy while not breaking the bank. That's why it was a pleasant surprise when my son came home from school one day and told me about the "Every Kid in a Park" program.
"Every Kid in a Park" is a nationwide program that gives any fourth grader and their entire family free entry into any of the 59 beautiful national parks in the US for an entire year! In addition to being an excellent way to get kids outside and exploring nature, the program also makes a national parks vacation more affordable. According to the program's website, "'Every Kid in a Park' was created so fourth graders and their families could discover our wildlife, resources, and history for free."
My son received his park pass at school, but any fourth grader could also follow the instructions to receive their own pass online. When we traveled to Yellowstone National Park last Summer, my son was thrilled to be able to use his own special pass to get us into the park (your fourth grader has to be with you when you enter the park, because the rangers will check). And if you don't have a fourth grader but would still like to visit a national park for free, you could plan a trip on one of the free entrance days they offer every year. In 2019, free days are:
- Jan. 21
- April 20
- Aug. 25
- Sept. 28
- Nov. 11
Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, "There is nothing so American as our national parks. The fundamental idea behind the parks is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us." Programs like "Every Kid in a Park" help make that possible for families, so spread the word!
The Sexiest Books of All Time Will Have You Blushing With Every Turn of the Page
Sexiness in books is preconceived to be limited to romance novels, but it's more than that. It's a universal concept that takes on many connotations about having power and agency and challenging old norms about sex. Whether it's Lolita and Anna Karenina for class or picking up Zane's book for pleasure (pun intended), these stories center on a woman's narrative or celebrate sexuality in a liberating way that's not exclusive to romance. Books that were considered too scandalous and taboo for society are now being praised for their revolutionary schools of thought, particularly now because we are at a juncture in society where we're having open discourses about sex and pushing marginalized voices to the forefront. The impressive books on this list have been doing that way before it registered in our collective consciousness.
Say "Yes" to Portability With the Help of Walmart's 8 Top-Rated Bluetooth Earbuds
Last week, my friend told me AirPods were sold out in New York City. "There's a two-month waiting list," she said. I gasped. Investing in them last Summer was a total game-changer; they simplified my daily commute (no more getting my wires crossed with subway passengers - literally) and made me feel more mobile during workouts.
No one should have to wait that long to reap the benefits of Bluetooth headphones, so I've rounded up a list of impressive - not to mention, more affordable - alternatives to AirPods to scope out below. Not only do they have a similar in-ear design for maximum portability, but they all have received top ratings at Walmart, too.

Sure, Cardi B's Pastel Purple Pixie Was Pretty, but You Have to See What’s Inside It
Rap megastar Cardi B wore pastel purple, and it was her prettiest look yet. The artist, who is often seen with multicolored bright streaks in her hair, toned it down when she wore it in a short, lavender pixie. Although the color looks uniform from the front, when Cardi B tilts her head forward or sideways, you're able to see that the light purple opens up to reveal shades of blue and magenta. Her hair matched the shades of her belted outfit and eye shadow perfectly.
See the rapper's newest hairstyle, ahead.

Anyone With a Sweet Tooth Will Love Lip Smacker's Latest Launch
This Valentine's Day, gift your friends and loved ones what they really need during the Winter: lip balm. Lip Smacker just debuted some of the cutest valentines you've ever seen with the brand's heart-shaped V-Day Lip Balm tins. The tins, which will appeal to your candy-loving taste buds, are scented in two themes: Starburst and Skittles. Both sets include three lip balms for you to hoard for yourself or split up and share with your friends. Check out the adorable kits ahead.
This $42 Faux-Fur Coat Makes Me Feel Like a Straight-Up Movie Star
After realizing that most of my shopping experiences in Winter end with me standing under a florescent light in the dressing room the same way I entered into this world - naked and afraid - I have succumbed to the fact that there is no corduroy trouser or other cold-weather trend cool enough for me to sacrifice warmth. Instead, I stick to wearing ugly 10-pound knitted scarves and my reliable puffer jacket.
Would you be surprised to learn, then, that I have never owned a fur coat (real or otherwise), despite admiring it on everyone from top-tier supermodels to socialites who have retired to the Upper East Side? (To be clear, I live on the Upper East Side, but I don't live on the Upper East Side, if you know what I'm saying.) Then I walked by a rack with a sample of the POPSUGAR at Kohl's Faux Fur Coat in Jet Black on full display at the office and thought, "If there were ever a time . . . "
From the moment I slipped it on, I felt like Elizabeth Taylor circa 1972 - sans all the money and husbands, because obviously - gracefully striding down the sidewalk like an Old Hollywood starlet. It's soft, stylish, and, most importantly for me, cozy. (I picked it up in a small, but the coat is also available in extended sizing.) Also pretty important? It happens to only be $42.
The fabric alone is a proven attention-grabber: I stood on the corner of 73rd and 2nd as a street style blogger ran her hand back and forth on the "fur" of my shoulder, ooh-ing and ahh-ing. For someone who cares about that "fashion-forward" title, I imagine that feels a little like Mozart telling you that you're not half bad with a harpsichord. For me, it just means I finally look like I belong in my neighborhood - and it's warm up here.
Behati Prinsloo Shared Sweet Behind-the-Scenes Glimpses of Adam Levine's Super Bowl Show
Just like Travis Scott, Adam Levine had some extra-special fans tuned into his 2019 Super Bowl performance on Feb. 3. While the 39-year-old musician took the stage with Maroon 5 in Atlanta on Feb. 3, his daughters Dusty Rose and Gio were watching on a screen, dressed in their PJs. Adam's wife, model Behati Prinsloo, shared the adorable behind the scenes photos on Monday, along with a sweet message for Adam.
"No words can describe all of this," Behati wrote in the caption of one picture. "I love you." Could she be at a loss for words because she's standing so close to Adam's shirtless, tatted chest? The jury's still out on that one. Either way, it's clear Adam "will be loved" by his biggest fans: Behati, Dusty, and Gio.
The Bachelor's Bekah Martinez Is Officially a Mom! See the First Photos of Her Baby Girl
Congrats are in order for former Bachelor contestant Bekah Martinez and her boyfriend, Grayston Leonard! The couple welcomed a baby girl on Feb. 2 via water birth, according to People.
Bekah, 23, stepped into the spotlight during Arie Luyendyk's season of The Bachelor last year. Months after the show ended, she shared her pregnancy news. "I was in disbelief and thought, 'Is this really happening?'" Bekah said. "I immediately called Grayston and then went across the street to the Dollar Tree and bought two more pregnancy tests. They, of course, were both positive."
While her pregnancy came as a surprise, she called it "a dream come true" and reinforced her excitement for motherhood. Grayston posted photos of their little one on Instagram following her birth. "No photos please," he captioned the post. We wish Bekah and Grayston the best with their adorable new addition.
What Happened Between Nicole and Onyeka on The Bachelor? Things Escalated QUICKLY
It wouldn't be The Bachelor without some drama, and this week's episode provided plenty. Elyse exited the show of her own accord, but not before leaving Onyeka with a dilemma. According to Onyeka, Nicole told Elyse that she went on the show to find an "opportunity" to leave Miami. And with Demi's encouragement, Onyeka decided to take things straight to Colton.
After Onyeka relayed the remarks to Colton, he said that having a contestant not be on the show for him was his "greatest fear." Colton then pulled Nicole aside, and she denied Onyeka's claim immediately. "That couldn't be further from the truth," she said to him. "I'm here because I haven't been able to find love. And it just kills me if you were able to take that and believe it."
Here's where things really get awkward, though. When Onyeka subsequently told the other women what she revealed to Colton, Tayshia jumped in, saying she heard Elyse and Nicole's conversation - and that Nicole didn't say things the way Onyeka was making it seem. As Tayshia told it, Nicole spoke of life-changing opportunities, but she didn't explicitly talk about leaving her hometown. "She never said that she needs to get out of Miami," Tayshia said to Onyeka. "It was misconstrued . . . she did not feel that way."
Nicole then came back into the group, telling Onyeka (in front of the others) through tears that she is, indeed, there "for the right reasons." She then accused Onyeka of "spreading rumors to Colton." Tayshia jumped in again, adding that the situation could have been solved if Onyeka had just addressed Nicole first, rather than going to Colton.
"I've been nothing but honest and real this entire process," Nicole said to the camera. Onyeka, meanwhile, said during her interview that Nicole has been crying a lot on the show, so she's not "fazed" by her tears.
Unfortunately, things got way worse at the rose ceremony. Nicole told Colton that she was on the show to find a "partner in life." She added that Onyeka had been "bullying" her and suggesting that she was "emotionally unstable." Colton responded with concern, saying he didn't want anyone to feel that way on the show. But when he pulled Onyeka aside, she was quick to say that the bullying claims are "all lies." "I would never in a million years call anyone mentally unstable," Onyeka told Colton - just before telling the cameras that Nicole is "literally a psycho."
The two women proceed to have another confrontation, with Onyeka calling Nicole a liar. It sounds like it was all a misunderstanding and that Colton, like Nicole, may have thought that calling someone "emotionally unstable" and "mentally unstable" were similar insults. I mean, this is all one big game of telephone at this point. (And it shouldn't need repeating, but Nicole doesn't need the show to leave Miami - she's a grown woman who can make her own decisions about where to live.)
Eventually, the bickering got loud enough that Colton stopped what he was doing and went over to the two women. They kept fighting, though, and he ended up walking away from the conversation to have a few minutes alone on the beach. Both of them tried to catch up with him, but he said he wanted to be alone, and the episode ended on a "to be continued" note. Yikes!
Of course, viewers were quick to take sides in the feud.
Onyeka: I would NEVER in a MILLION YEARS call anyone mentally unstable...???

Since we don't get to see the entirety of what goes on when the cameras aren't rolling, we probably won't ever know all that went down between Nicole and Onyeka. But it was enough to cause some major waves this week, not to mention annoying the other women. Going to the show's lead about the drama with the other contestants never ends well, and it looks like these two learned that the hard way.
Viewers Had a LOT of Thoughts About Maroon 5's Super Bowl Show, and They Didn't Hold Back
It's safe to assume that Maroon 5's Super Bowl performance didn't get the reaction they were probably hoping for.
The band took the stage during Super Bowl 53 for a Pepsi halftime show that included a brief SpongeBob SquarePants tribute, a gospel choir, and features from Travis Scott and Big Boi. It's a wild combination of artists right off the bat, but that doesn't automatically spell out doom. The band gave us the safest and, probably intentionally, the least offensive halftime show, with a medley of their greatest hits including "She Will Be Loved" and "Harder to Breathe." While Scott and Big Boi hyped up the crowd with their biggest singles, the whole show just seemed like mismatched bits of different concerts forced together for an ultimately bland performance.
Of course, viewers didn't hold back their disappointment with the show online. We've gathered up some of the most relatable reactions, from annoyance with the too-brief SpongeBob interlude, to hopes that Adam Levine would put his shirt back on. Check them out, ahead!
Who REALLY Lost the Super Bowl: The Los Angeles Rams or Adam Levine's Tank Top?
Let's discuss the Super Bowl, shall we? There were inspirational commercials and some celebrity PDA, and most obviously, it was the lowest-scoring game in Super Bowl history. The New England Patriots took home the Vince Lombardi Trophy, but in the battle of the internet vs. Adam Levine's tank top, the internet definitely won. For the halftime show, the Maroon 5 frontman took the stage in a radiant bomber jacket straight out of a Richard Simmons workout video, but layer after layer, the internet just couldn't hold back.
Disclaimer: it is possible the same people responsible for Justin Timberlake's camouflage suit last year picked out Levine's outfit, but we're just going to pretend his vision board included some Joann Fabrics samples and a furniture catalog from the '70s.
Under Levine's colorful jacket was a revealing tank top covered in three-dimensional brown squares. Usually, we'd chalk it up to another questionable fashion trend, but Twitter had our backs with proof that this tank top legitimately resembled cushion covers, drapes, and, yes, throw pillows. Read on to see all the hilarious things the internet had to say about Levine's Super Bowl performance outfit.
The Bachelor: Here Are the Women Who Colton Has Already Eliminated
Are you ready for a whole lot of Colton? Because the 23rd season of The Bachelor is a few weeks in, and the former NFL player has already taken some serious steps toward finding true love. The man of the hour, who was dumped by Becca Kufrin on the last season of The Bachelorette and also linked up with on-again, off-again flame Tia Booth on Bachelor in Paradise, is searching for his soulmate, and he certainly has some interesting women trying to woo him.
But sadly - for the ladies, anyway - not everyone has made it through with a rose. In fact, the first batch of contestants have already been sent packing without roses, and one woman decided to leave of her own accord. Check out the status of all the women on the show ahead, and keep checking back each week to see who is still in the running for Colton's heart!
Everything You Need to Know About Cassie, the Bachelor Contestant Colton's "Crazy About"
As soon as Cassie Randolph stepped out of the limo during The Bachelor's 23rd season premiere, we knew we smelled a front runner. The adorable California blonde greeted Colton Underwood with a box of butterflies in hand and said, "I have so many butterflies. Literally, I have so many butterflies." The semi-corny thought and sweet gesture definitely struck a chord with Colton, who slipped one of the fake insects into his jacket pocket while she walked into the Bachelor mansion.
Although Colton and Cassie's natural chemistry was evident right off the bat, sparks really flew when she landed her first one-on-one date in Thailand, where she spent the day swimming (and TBH, mostly making out) with Colton in the waters surrounding their own private island. During the nighttime portion of their getaway, things got intimate when they shared some alone time in Colton's bed, and he admitted that he's "crazy about" her. It's safe to say Colton's definitely smitten!
So, what else is there to know about the 23-year-old speech pathologist in training and Jimmy Kimmel's predicted winner of the season? Keep reading for some fun facts about Cassie.
The Bachelor's Latest Surprise Exit Might Be Frustrating, but It's Also Incredibly Relatable
Warning: spoilers for the latest episode of The Bachelor below!
It's not often that the cracks in the format of ABC's hit reality show The Bachelor show themselves, but every now and then, we get a reminder of just how far from reality it actually is.
Part of enjoying the series as an audience, as well as appearing on the show as a contestant, all but requires a suspension of disbelief. In real life, it's highly improbable that most people would be down with their boyfriend or girlfriend dating 20 or so other people for a few weeks until he can eventually whittle down who is worthy of his one-on-one attention. Of course, that's the exact premise of The Bachelor and its many spinoffs, which Chris Harrison continues to insist, from the rooftop of the same California mansion year after year, is the epitome of finding love.
Contestants know what they're signing up for . . . right?
Well, we'd like to think so. But clearly not everyone is cut out for this kind of courtship, something competitors might not realize until they're a few weeks into their season of the show. That's exactly what happened to Arizona-based makeup artist Elyse Dehlbom on Monday night, when she decided to break up with season 23's leading man, Colton Underwood. Elyse repeatedly says she realized she could no longer watch the guy she was falling for date other women, even after all the fun they had on their adorable one-on-one date at an amusement park earlier in the season.
"I had the world's most perfect date, and to watch people go on dates and come back and be so excited. For me, I just feel kind of heartbroken," the 31-year-old told fellow contestant Kirpa at the beginning of the episode, before elaborating later in a confessional. "I did not anticipate coming to Thailand - probably one of the most romantic places I've ever seen - and not get time with him. I think the reality is hitting home a little bit more after having a one-on-one."
All dolled up in her "statement dress," as Demi dubbed it, Elyse strolled over to Colton's hotel room to tell him that she needed to leave the competition. Naturally, it was a tearful interaction for both of them.
"I want to know all the silly, stupid things about you and how we are together. And I can't call Chris Harrison and say, 'I want every one-on-one for the next year,'" she told Colton while wiping her eyes. "I want the time and attention that a relationship deserves . . . I literally can't accept a proposal after a few months of sharing your time and attention with other people. I can't do it."
Even though Colton told Elyse that he was "genuinely excited for" their relationship, Elyse had clearly made up her mind and left, with that wedding gown statement dress flowing behind her. "How f*cking stupid am I?" she said to the cameras after her last interaction with Colton. "I'm leaving disgusted with myself and heartbroken."
Her decision to go has been praised by fans, as well as earning some eye-rolls from veteran members of Bachelor Nation who think she should've been prepared for what being on the show is like. At the very least, I think we should all admit that Elyse's problem with sharing Colton with a large group of women on TV is an understandable one and that leaving was the best choice if her heart wasn't in it.
See all the responses Elyse's shocking exit sparked on Monday night ahead.
Exactly What Led Up to Elyse's Big Twist on The Bachelor
Each new episode of The Bachelor means that Colton Underwood's relationships are getting more serious. For Elyse Dehlbom, her one-on-one date with the former NFL player a few weeks back confirmed her feelings early on. While being on this kind of television show can be very stressful, very few people opt to leave on their own. Elyse did just that during this week's episode, and we don't think we're the only ones who didn't see it coming. It may seem strange for a woman who feels such a connection with Colton to leave, but Elyse's explanation makes sense.
At this point in the season, Colton and the remaining women have just left Singapore for Thailand. Elyse was going over their first date and how perfect it was and how badly she wanted more individual time with him. Her demeanor clearly changes when Heather Martin, who had just come back from her own one-on-one date, is giving details about her day. Elyse gets up mid-story to leave the room, and we quickly find out it's because she wants to talk with Colton.
She starts by explaining how she struggled a lot in Singapore because she wanted the time and attention a relationship deserves. Colton immediately tries to comfort her, saying that he feels they give each other those things when they are together. He says, "That date with you - I'm excited. With you, I can't help but think about what we have; the connection's there." With tears in her eyes, she says, "This literally freaking crushes me."
The two seem to be saying the same thing - that there's a connection and they enjoy being with each other. But the unconventional way of dating seems to be more than Elyse can handle. If we had to guess, we would say that every woman on the show wishes for more time with Colton. Elyse says that she's not insecure but she can't do the whole competing-against-other-women thing. Colton continuously tries to reassure her: "I don't give up on relationships . . . I can't. Especially ones that I'm genuinely excited for."
We could tell that there was no convincing Elyse otherwise when she said that she couldn't accept a proposal after a few months of sharing Colton's time and attention with other women. Understandable? Yes. Heartbreaking? Yes, because their relationship could have really been something special.
The last thing she says to Colton is "I really want you to be happy." In her individual interview, she expresses that walking away from someone she cares about is a "really, really stupid mistake," and "I really, really regret doing this." Does she regret walking away or going on the show in the first place?
Colton must at least somewhat understand some of what Elyse was feeling since he was on her end of things on The Bachelorette and notably left Bachelor in Paradise early. It's an overwhelming situation, to say the least. You're putting your personal life out there on national television, living in a house with women you just met, and sharing a man with those women you have to see every day. The real question is: how do you keep your sanity? Maybe she'll appear on Bachelor in Paradise, or maybe she'll be the next leading lady on The Bachelorette. Neither have been confirmed, but we can wish, right?
James Middleton Bikes His Dogs Around London, and They're Not the Only Ones Drooling
James Middleton, younger brother of Kate and Pippa and devoted dog dad, was spotted taking his furry friends for a ride on a special dog bicycle through the Chelsea neighborhood of London last week. The handsome 31-year-old businessman had two of his five dogs in tow for the cruise, and everyone seemed to really be enjoying the wind blowing through their hair.
Since James graciously made his Instagram public last month, we've gotten a nice glimpse at his life in England, including his love for his pets. In January, James opened up about how much his dogs have helped him battle depression in an op-ed for The Daily Mail. "I recognize, too, the role my dogs - Ella, Inca, Luna, Zulu and Mabel - have played in my recovery," James wrote in the emotional piece. "Ella, particularly, has been my constant companion for ten years and she's been with me to all my therapy sessions. In her own particular way, she has kept me going." Scroll through for more photos of James and his adorable bike ride.
Reading a Book by a Nigerian Author Changed My Life - Here Are 6 Others That Might Change Yours
The first time I picked up a book by a Nigerian author, I was in college, sifting through my understanding of what it meant to be black. The book was Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and it's safe to say it changed my life.
The main character, Ifemelu, is forced to contend with her own blackness for the first time when she moves to America - a process that is foreign to someone whose race is thrust upon them the moment they enter the world. Before Adichie, I was well-versed in the imaginings of blackness through the American lens - both black and white. I understood the deafening cloud of oppression and the persistent struggle that weaves its way through every narrative. I understood that blackness, even when unmentioned, always lurked quietly in the background - easily called up when a new character crossed the page.
Americanah is different. Ifemelu is black but not in the way the American characters in the book are; not in the way that I am. Her blackness is more solid somehow, unburdened by quarter-white 23andMe test results and a torrid history that is danced around delicately. She looks at black American culture from a precarious distance and conceptualizes race in a way that is captivating because while she's aware of it, she isn't consumed by it. She learns what it means to be black over the course of the novel - because race isn't something she is forced to consider before she arrives in America.
It's the perspective I didn't know I needed as a young, queer black girl looking to understand myself.
It made me reexamine my understandings of race and its mere existence as a category. It's the perspective I didn't know I needed as a young, queer black girl looking to understand myself. From there I fell in love with Adichie and Nigerian authors as a whole (seriously, it's all I talk about on the 'gram). And while no two authors are the same, they all share the ability to create bodies of work where blackness isn't prescriptive but descriptive. Their worlds are often filled with black characters who are just living, which taught me that I could just live, too.
Although I have my own personal infatuation with Nigerian authors, they're part of a new generation of young Nigerian artists captivating readers worldwide. In early 2017, The New York Times reported the renaissance taking place on the continent and the ways their works challenge and address age-old taboos and traditions that went previously unaddressed. The result is vibrant and energetic prose - work that delights, haunts, and travels everywhere from the streets of Lagos to small, American towns.
Ahead, I've rounded up the contemporary Nigerian authors you need to read now - and which books to start with.
We're Already Concerned About When The Bachelor's Finale Will Air - Here's What We Know
The minute a new season of The Bachelor begins, there are multiple questions that come rushing into our minds. Who does he choose? Does he propose? Are they still together now? And all of those questions get answered on finale night(s). Colton Underwood's journey to love is no exception to our slew of curiosities, so we're already theorizing when all of our season 23 questions will get answered.
The finale date hasn't been announced yet, but being the detectives we are, we're homing in on when it could be. Last year's finale with Arie Luyendyk Jr. was a two-parter on March 5 and 6. In 2017, we found out Nick Viall's fate on March 13. And before that, Ben Higgins's final episode aired on March 14.
Now, I'm no Chris Harrison, but I suspect that the finale night or two will be either the first or second Monday (and possibly Tuesday) of March. That means you shouldn't make any plans for March 4 and 5 or 11 and 12 until we know for sure. Judging from the amount of episodes we have left, it's looking more like the 11. But while you wait for concrete confirmation, catch up on what every Bachelor has been up to since their own finales.
If Russian Doll's Ending Left You Scratching Your Head, Here's What It All Means
Warning: massive spoilers for Russian Doll ahead. Proceed with caution.
If you dedicated part of your weekend to Netflix's new series Russian Doll - it's not very long, FYI - a few things might be true. For starters, there's a strong chance you fell in love with the show's kooky world, swooned over the lioness that is Natasha Lyonne, and rocked out to that sizzling soundtrack, which, yes, included that one song that is permanently seared into your memory. But another, maybe more secondary, thing that might also be true is this: you might be confused by the ending.
That's the real conundrum of the series: the deeper you go, the stranger and more enigmatic it gets. The series makes rules and bends them, and the entire universe slowly begins to unravel as our fair heroes try to figure out what, exactly, is going on. Never fear, dear reader! I'm here to give you a pretty standard, bare-bones rundown of what happens and what, at its simplest level, it means.
The Basic Premise
Before we really get our hands dirty, let's talk about this world. Russian Doll gives us an NYC that's laden with magical realism. For some reason, Nadia is unable to escape her 36th birthday party. Not too far into the first episode, she gets hit by a taxi while trying to chase down her missing bodega cat, Oatmeal. That's when she regains consciousness right back where she started: in the bathroom at her 36th birthday party. No matter how far Nadia gets (sometimes she survives the night and even the following day) and no matter how many times she dies, she always lands back in that spot.
It's worth noting, perhaps at this point, that this isn't quite the same magic that seems to run similar stories, like Groundhog Day and Happy Death Day. Time is a strange thing in this world; Russian Doll presents a space in which everything hurtles onward, even as it loops back to the same moment. Fruit seems to rot, and even the people around them don't have the same robotic response every single loop. Everything is constantly changing. Nadia also posits, at one point, that perhaps there are infinite timelines and infinite iterations of Nadia. In one dimension, Ruth accidentally kills Nadia, and as far as we know, that Ruth is still mourning that Nadia.
The First Twist
The first major shift comes at the end of episode three. At this point, Nadia has launched a full-scale investigation to get to the bottom of the mystery: why can't she die? And why is she stuck reliving her 36th birthday party? She ends up in an elevator that, you guessed it, plummets to the ground and winds up a ravaged pile of twisted metal. But beside her is another person who seems eerily calm at the prospect of death: Alan.
It turns out Alan is also stuck in a time loop that forces him to relive the same day. Instead of a 36th birthday party, though, Alan must repeatedly endure a devastating breakup with his girlfriend, Beatrice, whom he is planning to propose to, ring and all.
The Tenuous Connection
Alan and Nadia quickly realize that their fates are linked: they always die at the exact same time. As we hurtle through the middle, we realize they share another connection. Both of them have deep-seated, debilitating trauma that they can't seem to process. Alan's is a little more front and center, with a slight catch. Yes, his breakup is the searing event at the heart of his meltdown, but it all snowballs into his OCD and his unwillingness to seek professional help. Beatrice can't take care of Alan anymore, and she's worried he'll hurt himself if she leaves. The former makes their relationship feel like work; the latter makes the breakup that much harder.
In Nadia's case, we learn that her trauma is much more buried. She still hasn't forgiven herself for an impossible decision she made in her childhood: leaving her unfit mother to live with a guardian. Her mother's untimely death, at age 36, suddenly casts a whole new sense of realization on the earlier parts of the story.
In order to break the loop, both Nadia and Alan must reckon with their respective pasts. And it's not just a move to help them heal; the universe itself has begun to crumble under the weight of this strange time conundrum. Much like the rotting fruit, other things seem amiss: people and objects are vanishing. It's all becoming unstable. And so the two heroes must reckon with their traumas so they can heal and restore order. Alan must forgive Beatrice for cheating on him and leaving him and must seek help for the unstable parts of his life. Nadia must let her mother go and forgive her younger self for making a decision no child should have to make. And they both do! This, of course, sets up the finale episode . . . and one final twist.
The Last Twist
Having confronted their respective traumas, Nadia and Alan decide to die one more time and meet at the bodega that started it all. This causes a schism in this strange world: their timelines split, leaving each to deal with an older, more oblivious version of the other. Nadia must stop a devastated, wasted Alan from throwing himself off the roof of a building, while Alan must stop a repressed, self-destructive Nadia from relying on her usual unhealthy tendencies. It's almost like a final test: after all, they can't both know all the answers and stride confidently into this new world! They have to prove they've changed, and learned.
And they do. Nadia convinces Alan not to take his life; she doesn't offer happiness or answers, but she does offer company. Alan, on the other hand, makes Nadia realize she's making unhealthy decisions and effectively snaps her out of her trance. He also literally saves her life by pulling her out of the way of the taxi. Once each "enlightened" version of the character leads their needful counterpart out of the darkness, the paths merge into a brilliant, celebratory march toward a single future . . . with a cheering group of costumed homeless people, of course.
At the end of the day, a show like this that's so riddled with mythology and possibility can be read a multitude of ways, which is a nice touch given the multiverse it seems to depict in the first place. I think what resounded with me the most were the function and effects of trauma. I do often find myself reliving the worst moments in my life, despite the fact that the people involved have long moved on. The fact that Nadia and Alan relive their horrific nights over and over seems to speak to that experience of dwelling in the past and in those moments of pain and loss. And it's only by processing, acknowledging, and releasing yourself from that pain that you can truly move forward.
Now That Ben Affleck Isn't Batman Anymore, We Have a Few Suggestions
This week, Warner Bros. announced all kinds of upcoming release dates, and among the crop was a pretty interesting reveal: The Batman is coming in 2021, and Ben Affleck is no longer attached. It almost makes sense in a way, since this newest iteration of the hero is veering in a new direction. The director, Matt Reeves, has said the new film will feel a bit more like a noir in genre, and it will also star a younger Bruce Wayne! That means we've got to dial down the age range (no offense, Affleck) when searching for our next Dark Knight. With no official announcement for the role, we've taken it upon ourselves to offer a few casting ideas. And since the franchise is going in a new direction, it's no holds barred: we've got some ideas that will really shake things up.
Shameless Is Coming Back For Its 10th Season, Featuring the Return of One Special Character
We have great news, Shameless fans: the beloved Showtime series was just renewed for its 10th season! Despite Emmy Rossum and Cameron Monaghan's departures from the series in the current season, fans will be getting a whole lot more South Side debauchery at the end of 2019. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fiona's character will be written out during the final two episodes of season nine.
"It was sad," executive producer John Wells told the site. "But I hope for the audience that it will be as rewarding and appealing as what happened with the end of Ian's story in episode six. That's what we're striving for: a show that's entertaining and emotional."
But that's not all! With the news of the series being renewed for its 10th season, the site reports that Monaghan's character, Ian, "will indeed return for season 10," which is great news, because we'll never get sick of the Gallaghers!
