Even After Blocking An Ex On Facebook, The Platform Promotes Painful Reminders

Anthony Pinter, a Ph.D. student in information science at the University of Colorado Boulder, recently completed a study on people’s experiences with upsetting and unexpected reminders of an ex on Facebook. His team’s findings are examples of algorithmic cruelty – instances in which algorithms are designed to do something and do it well, but end up backfiring because they can’t fully grasp the nuances of human relationships and behavior. How has social media made breakups more difficult? Anthony Pinter: Breaking up with a loved one has always meant making difficult choices: who gets the couch, who gets the fridge, who gets the cat. But before social media, once the messy details were sorted, it wasn’t too difficult to create the physical, mental and emotional space that research ...

Do You Have A Sex Life After 50?

"Do you have a sex life?" This is a question no one wants to answer. To answer "yes" to him means to strip naked, and this is a terrible shame. Especially for a woman who she doesn't always undress freely in front of her husband. To say no is to be considered a failure in front of the whole world. Sometimes partners in marriage cheat. If suddenly one admits publicly that there is sex life outside of the union, and that life in all aspects is beautiful, they will contemplate a very unsightly picture of mutual accusations, insults and lies. The man will take all the money and property and will call his wife dirty words. And a woman, if the children are small, will not let them see her ex husband, and if they are grown, then she will curse herself, and she will turn the children against their...

After A Breakup Who Keeps The Engagement Ring? Why You Might Want A Prenup For Your Diamond

Who keeps the engagement ring after a breakup? 2 law professors explain why you might want a prenup for your diamond. When Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got engaged the first time, in 2002, he gave her a very pricey ring. That engagement ring was reportedly worth as much as $2.5 million, made by luxury jeweler Harry Winston and adorned with a 6.1-carat pink diamond. After the movie stars broke up in 2004 without getting married, J. Lo said she intended to return the ring “quietly” to Affleck. Whether or she ever did that or not, was Lopez entitled to keep the that rock or any of the others she got from her numerous ex-husbands and former fiancés?

After Infidelity-Stay Or Go?

When you get the devastating news that your spouse has had an affair, how do you decide whether to stay or go?

It's possible to find an extraordinary love after divorcing late in life, but most of my clients report the potential partners out there are no better than the ones they left.

How Civil Rights Leader Wyatt Tee Walker Revived Hope After MLK’s Death

Four years after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., the novelist James Baldwin would write on the pages of Esquire magazine, “Since Martin’s death, in Memphis, and that tremendous day in Atlanta, something has altered in me, something has gone away.” Baldwin wrote about how “the act of faith” – that is, his belief that the movement would change white Americans and ultimately America – maintained him through the years of the black freedom movement, through marches and petitions and torturous setbacks. After King’s death, Baldwin found it hard to keep that faith. Nearly two weeks after King’s funeral, in April of 1968, King’s confidant and former strategist Wyatt Tee Walker tried to renew this faith. Drawing on a tradition of black faith, Walker encouraged a grieving communit...
