Little People Big World ‘s Audrey Roloff was a little bashful about sharing a new piece of intimacy advice on her blog, Beating 50 Percent . Audrey, who is married to reality star Jeremy Roloff, admitted that what she was about to explain was weird, but readers can do with it what they want. One person’s intimate moment is another’s horror story, according to Audrey. “On our honeymoon, I had this crazy idea… It has been one of my best-kept marriage secrets (something I have only shared with my closest friends) – until now. It’s too good to keep to myself;),” Audrey wrote. “So let me tell you about this immensely intimate idea, and why I think every single couple on the planet should try it at least once, if not every year on their anniversary. “Some of you may think it’s a little weird, but I’m choosing vulnerability in the hopes that it might inspire you! This is something Jer and I have both committed to do on Beating50Percent – be honest and transparent. “So before you roll your eyes and call me crazy, just here me out here….” Audrey went on to explain how important her wedding vows were and still are, and how she waited until the night before the ceremony to write them so that they reflected how “mentally, emotionally, and spiritually present” she was. “We both brought our crumpled paper vows with us on our honeymoon, and had planned to re-read them to each other again at some point,” Audrey explained. “Then I had this crazy idea…. ‘What if we read our vows to each other while having sex…? “This thought was immediately followed by an insecurity, ‘Jeremy will probably think that’s SOOO weird… and I mean… how will that even work…?’ Well, kids, it involves some multi-tasking and cardio training… “One afternoon,” Audrey continued, “we laid in bed waiting out a Jamaican thunderstorm and reminiscing on our wedding day, when I mustered up the confidence to blurt out my unconventional idea, ‘Babe, you know how we wanted to reread our vows to each other just the two of us? Well… what if we did that… while having sex…’ View Slideshow: 22 Candid Celebrity Sex Confessions “I remember the look of astonishment that fell over Jeremy’s face, and I wasn’t sure if it was the good kind or bad kind… But then he said something to the effect of, ‘Whoa (probably ‘Holy Smokes’)… Let’s do it.’ “I’ll spare you the details, but it was the most intimate thing we have ever done in our marriage, and probably the most intimate thing I have ever done in my life . And one that left you a bit winded, I’m sure. “The act of becoming physically and verbally one (at the same time), ensues an ocean of intimacy that I cannot attempt to describe. It’s the best version of ‘sex talk.’ Y’all… don’t think about how it works, just try it.” So…there you have it. Sex advice from a 24-year-old.

Dear Bossip , My closest and longest standing girlfriend of 16 years and I have recently come to an awful fallout. Our relationship was already strained considering I had bumped heads with another one of our mutual friends who did me wrong, and for five years they were cut out of my life. All that changed earlier this year when my mother died suddenly of a brain stroke. Both of my friends attended the funeral and all our beef was immediately squashed given the circumstances. I should have been more cautious, but to be honest I was really happy to have my two besties back in my life. And, at the time, I thought that any petty drama in the future would be avoided as we are mature adults. I was wrong. My initial friend and I have never fallen out before. We may have had some heated moments, but it’s never been a slanging match. Until now. It all started when my girlfriend invited me to her son’s religious confirmation. My other mutual friend is his godmother. But, she was getting married and then having her honeymoon so his event had to be postponed to assure her attendance. The date of the affair was up in the air until further notice. In the meantime, I had managed to locate my biological father. As you can imagine, at 35 years old this was a big thing for me. To celebrate I arranged a night out followed by a party at my house in which my closest friends and existing family could meet my father and new stepmother. On at least 5 separate occasions, I reminded my best friend of the date. I sent her a link to the event that we would be attending and I kept on reminding her that I wanted her and her man to be there. As my other friend was getting married and couldn’t be there, due to being on her honeymoon, to me that was acceptable. When the day arrived my best friend sent a message with my brother saying she couldn’t be there because she had to work. I did not hear from her asking how we got on. This left a bad taste in my mouth, but I did not say anything about it as I was unsure how to approach the situation given our long history of friendship. I was hurt at the fact that she didn’t have the decency to even pick up the phone to call me and let me know herself or even ask me about the DNA results that she knew I was awaiting. The following week our mutual friend returned from her honeymoon. We met up for drinks, as we both live in the same neighborhood, to catch up. Two days later, I’m on Facebook and there is all these photos on my feed of my two friends and her son- celebrating at the son’s event, which I was not told was going to be happening that day. I seriously felt a way as I had just seen the mutual friend for drinks and she did not mention anything about the fact that the event was going to be taking place a matter of days later. Still, I said nothing. The following week was my birthday. While celebrating in Barcelona, both of them messaged me to wish me a happy birthday?! I paid them dust. Fast forward to the present day. After being out of the country for a month and meeting my new family on my father’s side, my brother tells me that my mother’s ashes are to be scattered. Given the situation of how I feel about my best friend – I messaged her and told her that I did not want to see her at the grave site as I was questioning our friendship. I explained to her why I felt the way I did and that whatever condolences she would have potentially wanted to pass along would not be greeted with the best enthusiasm. Instead of righting her wrongs and apologizing- she says that she didn’t know that she was supposed to be meeting my dad and that no friends were invited to her son’s event as it was just ‘Family only.’ I told her that I was disgusted by her behavior and that real friends do not categorize real friends in such a manner. Now, I’m left wondering if I have made the right decision or if I have acted in haste? Thoughts? – A Confused Friend Dear Ms. A Confused Friend , I think you need to clarify with your friend why you have cut her off because I was confused by reading your letter. I wasn’t sure who was who – who was getting married, who was having the religious ceremony for their son. And, when you brought them up again I had to go back to the top of the letter and find out which one was the best friend, and who was the mutual friend, and why you fell out with the mutual friend, but now you all are cool again. I also didn’t follow, and wasn’t clear if you confronted your best friend and told her why you cut her off, or are you expecting her to guess why you are mad at her? Does she, or did she know that she was cut off? And, you want her to right her wrongs and apologize, but for what? Look, you are mad because you were not invited to your best friend’s son’s religious confirmation. However, your mutual friend was invited, and you’re mad because your friend told you that it was “family only.” But, isn’t the mutual friend the “godmother” of the child? So, if the mutual friend is the godmother, then, technically she is “family,” or considered “family.” And, it appears that she is much closer to your best friend than you, considering your best friend asked your mutual friend to be the godmother of her child. So, my question to you is why are you calling her your best friend when it seems that the other woman may be her best friend? (Sips tea) I think you may have given too much credit, and too much credence to your relationship with your so-called best friend. You are not on the same page, and though you may think she is your best friend, she is best friends with your mutual friend. And, before you start dismissing and chopping folks off, I think you need to have a conversation with her as a grown woman and express how you feel, and ask her about your friendship. I’m sure you may realize that you two have different interpretations of your friendship, or what your friendship is about. Now, yes, you have every right to be upset considering she bailed on your reunion and meeting of your father. You did express that you emailed, called, texted, and confirmed with her that you wanted her and her man to be there for the festivities. And, you can confront her about it and ask her what happened. Ask her why she didn’t show up and why failed to show support for an important moment in your life. Again, have a grown woman conversation with her, and find out the reason. I noticed that whenever you have a beef or issue with your friends that you tend to shut down. You don’t say anything, and you don’t confront them about it. You let it fester and then you create this whole scenario of what you think happened, why it happened, and how they did you wrong. You pretend everything is fine and things are all good, yet, you are stewing with being upset, angry, and disappointed. They have no clue that they did something to you, and that you are upset over it. And, then, you just stop speaking, and start pouting and then go to your corner and then when they ask what’s wrong you blow up and make them out to be wrong and bad for something they had no clue over what they did. I am very certain you do this a lot with all of your relationships and with other people in your life. Also, didn’t you say you fell out with both of them at one point, or at least your mutual friend for five years, and it wasn’t until the death of your mother that you and she reconciled, and came back together as friends? So, if this is the case, then if you haven’t spoken to the mutual friend for five years, it may be possible that during that time she and your best friend developed their own friendship and became close. And, your best friend probably didn’t tell you because if there was bad blood, then, I’m sure she was like why mention her if you’re going to bad mouth her when she and her are growing close, and your best friend has a friendship with her independent of you. Ma’am, it’s time to grow up and be an adult, and when someone or something bothers you, then you confront the person gently and lovingly and explain that you are upset by what they did. You talk with them to get clarification over the matter, and see how the miscommunication may have been prevented, and, or, you discuss if something wasn’t clear, or misconstrued. You can avoid a wealth of headaches, anger, upsets, and being mad if you just calm yourself and talk with the other person. I’m sure all disagreements, misunderstandings, and any other concerns can be worked out if you just ask take the time to get very clear and make sure everyone is on the same page. Because, again, you were not at her son’s religious confirmation because you are not family, and if she didn’t express that to you, then, you need to ask her why it wasn’t clear, and if your friendship as her best friend doesn’t constitute you as “family.” You need to be on the same page regarding your friendship and how you interpret best friend, and she interprets best friend, or if you are her best friend. – Terrance Dean ***(Attention all media/news outlets, if you use this story and letter, or any parts of this content for your outlets you must give credit to this site, the columnist, and his advice)** Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Taylor Swift has dated a lot of famous dudes. You may want to take a second to recover from the shock of that news before you read any further. View Slideshow: 14 Famous Dudes Who Have Dated Taylor Swift Ready? Good, because we’re about to hit you with another shocker: Taylor has been known to occasionally write songs inspired by her celebrity exes. In the grand country music tradition (It’s easy to forget, but Swift did get her start in Nashville.), most of them are scathing take downs of no-good cheats who done ‘er wrong. Swift slammed John Mayer in the not-so-subtle “Dear John.” She informed legions of you JoBros fans that Joe Jonas was the reason for the teardrops on her guitar . And we’re sure a diss track about a lanky Scot is currently in post-production. Maybe he’ll be a practicing Calvinist. Anyway, Taylor is no Carly Simon when it comes to nuance, and her lyrics are usually pretty blunt and on-the-nose. That said, in the past, her relationships have come in such rapid succession (with some possible overlap. No judgment! Just sayin’!), that it’s sometimes difficult to decipher just what ex she’s talking about. One song in particular has piqued fans’ interest over the years, as it’s not a wounded torch song at all, but a heartfelt apology to a man she was unkind to. Taylor Swift: “Back to December” Music Video Taylor discussed the lyrics to ” Back to December ” in a candid 2010 interview. She admitted that the song was “a first,” as she’d never apologized in song form before, but she stopped just short of revealing whom she was singing about. Taylor Swift Talks “Back to December” Lyrics Now, we finally have a solution to that years-old mystery thanks to the detective work of – Lea Michele? Yes, believe it or not it took a bit of relentless interrogation from the former Glee star to confirm a theory fans have held for years: Lea Michele Talks to Taylor Lautner After a bit of cajoling, Lea did what dozens of interviewers have been unable to do: She got Taylor Lautner to admit that “Back to December” was indeed written about him. Sadly, Ms. Michele couldn’t get him to talk about what she did that was so terrible she felt the need to apologize in song form. Must have been pretty bad if Lautner won’t even discuss it. This is a guy who’s friends with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. He knows relationship drama! View Slideshow: 7 People Who Don’t Totally Love Taylor Swift
It's pretty normal for cats and dogs to be weird around one another. Dogs have a have a habit of chasing cats and there's really no reason for it. For 5-year-old Redd, the situation couldn't be more different. Redd is actually pretty scared of the cat and doesn't want to wake it up, so he gets creative in his attempt to get past it. What does he do? He tiptoes. Yes, just let that sink in for a moment. It's crazy, but kind of hilarious at the same time. It shows that the dog thought outside the box for this one. The rescue group who took Redd in have no idea why he's so scared of the cat. Redd lives in a foster home with the cat, but we don't quite know who was there first. For all we know, the cat could be threatening Redd. You never really know what animals are saying to one another. Moreover, we don't even know if cats and dogs can understand one another. We'll just leave that one open to the imagination. Either way, you need to see the full video to witness just how great this is. The cat is just laying there, not realizing what's going on around it. Then there's Redd, who is moving slowly to try and get to the other side of the room undetected. It's great and we just know you'll think so! Sit back, relax and watch the best video you'll watch today. It's THAT good. Let us know in the comments what you thought of it!
Whatever happened to kissing other girls without the whole damn world knowing? Kailyn Lowry’s sexuality is now the topic of conversation among Teen Mom 2 fans, after she posted (then later deleted) a Snapchat of herself kissing longtime friend, Becky Hayter (a very apt last name). In 2012, Star Magazine attempted to uncover Lowry’s romantic past , which involved what can categorically be described as lesbian relationships. It started back in middle school. “Kail was with a girl named Shelby for about two years,” a source told the tabloid at the time. “Jo [Rivera] knew about Kail’s relationship with that girl. He thought it was a phase.” Rivera and Lowry have a six-year-old son, Isaac. The demise of their relationship was first capture on 16 & Pregnant , and then on the hugely successful spin-off, Teen Mom 2 . While Lowry was still with Rivera, she hooked up with her fried, Gigi Hanna. “Kail cheated on Jo with Gigi [Hanna], but he knew and didn’t care,” the source said. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Cast: Before They Were Stars … “They were both seeing guys, [but] would make out and Gigi would sleep in her bed sometimes. … Kail thinks they’ll both end up with a guy, but they’ll always be best friends.” Hanna more or less confirmed this to Star. “We became close again and promised to never leave each other; we moved in together,” Hanna said. “We know our boundaries.” Lowry’s four-year marriage to Javi Marroquin resulted in a son, 2-year-old Lincoln. She and Marroquin announced their divorce last month. This past weekend, Lowry joined Hayter and other friends for a gay pride event in Asbury Park, New Jersey. A week before this, Hayter posted a photo with Lowry, and used the caption, “Forbidden fruit” with an upside down smiley face. Lowry has not yet commented on the speculation, probably because she was enjoying herself with friends and assumed it was cool to hang at an event that encourages the freedom to be oneself.

15 Signs She’s Too Young For You! They say age ain’t nothing but a number but there comes a point you gotta draw the line. Here we’ve compiled 15 signs she’s too damn young for you!
Dear Bossip , I have known my best friend since were in elementary school, and now we are both in our early 30s. So, naturally, we have been through a lot and talk to each other about everything. I met a guy on my birthday last year. We talked for like almost two months and then I moved to another city to start law school. But, in December, we started talking again and in January we became official. Recently, my friend not only told me that she has a crush on my boyfriend, but she has repeatedly asked me for his number. After that happened I have been kind of keeping my distance. I don’t know how to proceed with our friendship because I feel like she doesn’t respect my relationship and that she would try to sleep with my boyfriend if she was anywhere near him. My cousin said I should respect that she came to me instead of going behind my back. I guess she has a point, but I still feel some kind of way. I don’t want her to feel like I’m picking a man over her, but seeing how she is blatant with her attraction to my man should I just keep my life with them separate, or continue to keep my distance like I have been doing? – Confused About What To Do Dear Ms. Confused About What To Do , Well, if your best friend is crushing over your man, and she knows that you and he are together, and she’s asking you for his number and telling you that she is attracted to him, then she is not your friend. What best friend do you know will disrespect your relationship by coming right out and asking for your man’s number and telling you she has a crush on him knowing that you’re in a relationship with him? That is some bold ass –ish! Now, see, at first you may think she is joking, and punking you. “Girl, stop playing. I know he’s fine, and he’s a good catch. Glad you recognize.” But, for her to do this over and over again, the next words out of your mouth should be, “I’m going to need for you to back it up. Quit playing with me, and stay in your lane. This is my relationship, and he is off limits, and if you can’t respect this, us, and me, then, yes, I will cut you off.” And, no, you’re not picking a man over her, you’re just recognizing that your best friend doesn’t have any boundaries, and she is showing you her true colors – she will sleep with your man and feel it okay. Squash this today and put her in her place. Yeah, your cousin may have a point that you should respect that she came to you and told you instead of going behind your back, but now you know who your enemy is, and now you know that you can’t trust your friend. So, hell to the no, you don’t bring them around each other, don’t invite your friend on dates with you, or to gatherings, or anywhere or anyplace where you and your man will be. She will slip her number to him, fawn all over him, and throw herself on him and she will do this right in your face, and be unbothered by it. That’s how bold she is because she is bold enough to ask you for his number, and bold enough to tell you that she is crushing on your man. No, you don’t trust her, and quite frankly you need to confront her instead of avoiding her. Yup, confront her. Instead of avoiding her, you need to call her out and have a serious conversation with her about her inappropriate behavior, and soliciting you for your man’s number. You did state that you’ve been best friends since you were younger, and you’re now in your 30s, so I don’t understand why you can’t talk with your best friend and be frank and honest with her. Tell her how you don’t appreciate her coming to you asking for your man’s number, and that you don’t find it cute or appropriate that she is crushing on him and that she feels it okay to tell you these things and not think you will feel a way about it, or confront her about it. Girl code rule #1 is that you don’t go after your best friend’s man. You don’t flirt, ask for his number, socialize with him alone, attempt to date him or give googly eyes. And, nor do you even look at him romantically giving any indication that you are interested. He is off limits, period point blank. Now, the fact that she is violating girl code rule #1 should let you know that doesn’t respect you or your relationship. She should know better. But, obviously it doesn’t matter to her, and she is going to get what she wants, and she is going to do it regardless of whether you like it or not. So, again, confront her, have a serious conversation with her, and express how it makes you feel that your best friend is disrespecting your relationship. Tell her that she is overstepping her boundaries, and her behavior makes you uncomfortable, and quite frankly you are starting to second guess your friendship. If she can do this to her own best friend, then you can only imagine what she would do to any other woman she is not friends with. – Terrance Dean ***(Attention all media/news outlets, if you use this story and letter, or any parts of this content for your outlets you must give credit to this site, the columnist, and his advice)*** Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?
