Recently, TIME Magazine ecstatically broke the “news” that women over 30 are still totally “dateable.” But here’s another newsflash: not all single women (over 30 or not) are desperately looking for a date, much less a for-life mate.

Indeed, plenty of wo…

When Carmen Electra began dating Dennis Rodman in 1998, she had just experienced the devastating loss of her mother to a fatal brain tumor. Though the 26-year-old’s career was taking off — Electra had landed a role on television’s “Baywatch” and was one of the hosts of MTV’s “Singled Out” — she says that she was still emotionally fragile and strugg…

I met the woman of my dreams while living in Hawaii and was married for 15 years. Things were great for most of it. We decided to split in August, 2011. She moved out two months later. We shared joint custody of our 5-year-old son. I was devastated, but not defeated. I had my life back, at least half of it, and it was my turn to live a little.

Five months later, I received an email from my ex saying she had accepted a position 1,000 miles away and would be leaving with our son. Seve…

The name tags are laid out for the parent-teacher meet-and-greet. My name isn’t there. I Sharpie “Sarah Humphreys” on a blank one, but that doesn’t clarify much, because I am actually the fiance of the dad of a new student going into kindergarten. Which is as hard to jam into conversation as it is to fit on a tag.

I have previously written on the need for alimony reform. California law affecting what we call “spousal support” creates a situation where the supported spouse has, in many cases, little if any incentive to work. Moreover, the legal presumption that one who is married for ten years or more is entitled to support until death or remarriage is patently unfair, mandating that the payor of support continue to fund the recipient’s lifestyle for years far beyond the duration of the marriage.

We all know someone who constantly offers unwanted commentary on our relationships: Still single? “You need to get yourself out there!” Happily coupled up? “It’s been a while, are you guys thinking marriage yet?” Newly single after a split? “Don’t worry, I’m sure you won’t stay single for long!”

They may be well meaning, but their advice is less than constructive — especially if they’re just dishing out relationship cliches we’ve all heard.
