Sure, we see one another every day. He says everything is fine. But there’s also this loud and clear, unshakeable feeling: He’s no longer participating in the relationship. Emotionally and mentally, he is someplace else. Yep, this a sure sign there’s work to be done. Time to recalibrate and refocus on the relationship before it’s too late. More from CafeMom: 10 Signs a Marriage Is Really Over If this sounds familiar and for anyone who needs a gut check on a shaky-feeling relationship, we spoke with psychotherapist and relationship coach Toni Coleman....

Of course this gift would be perfect for a guy who has been wanting to visit a tattoo shop but just didn’t scrape enough money together. And we all know how pricey tattoos can be, so instead of buying that sweater that might get returned or lingerie that will be worn once, why not get something really memorable. I have some ideas on how to present this gift and how to make it even more special …....

As “over it” as so much of the beauty community seems to be with the many glitter makeup releases, people still seem VERY curious about the possibility offered by this particular palette: allegedly, glitter makeup with zero fall out. But are they worth the price and the swatchless online shopping gamble? Kristi tested the most popular pressed glitter palette online to find out — and made some REALLY strange discoveries....

This recipe, created by Kiran of Kiran Tarun, is the perfect way to usher in autumn. If you’re going apple picking, you’ll want to pick up some cider and an extra few apples to garnish these stunning cocktails. More from The Stir: Raspberry Mojito Is the Perfect Cocktail to Celebrate Summer’s End Dried cranberries and dried figs add to the sweetness of this fizzy fall beverage. As its creator Kiran says, “Make it, sip, and rejoice....

Now I don’t have to tell you that the odds of that are pretty slim. Sharing a birthday with just one family member is rare. Sharing it with two? Practically unheard of. The Delperdangs are — not surprisingly — over the moon. But here’s betting this is extra special for one of them in particular. Darrel Delperdang, aka Grandpa, gets to share his big day with his son, Chase, and now his grandson....

The baby’s mother, Laci Lynn Taylor, 26, reportedly left the infant on the changing table and went to fix her a bottle. During that time, according to police in Des Moines, Iowa, who investigated the child’s death for four months, the baby rolled over and the way her neck became compressed on the changing table’s ledge cut off her airway, resulting in her suffocation. Taylor has been charged with child endangerment resulting in death....

Bratty little brothers are, by definition, difficult and troublesome. But as this video-bombing little man is about to show, sometimes they are there to save you from something you are doing drastically wrong. Roll the videotape! Embedded content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYuHKw5EI78 See folks, there is just nothing advisable about this “dance and mumble lyrics to some random popular song” trend that has taken the pre-teen set by storm. It is a pain in the tuchus for those of us who jump on YouTube to find a quality clip of Akon singing “Smack That” to play while we wait for the microwave to ding or the dryer to finish....

The four-bed, five-bath house features indoor/outdoor living with glass walls and doors that open onto wraparound wood decks. Inside, wide-plank French Oak floors lend the home a warm, luxe vibe. The flow of the house suits both entertaining and private time with an open living space and intimate nooks. I wonder if the family hosted best buds George and Amal for weekend barbecues? Outside, the beautifully landscaped property has its own path to the beach....

The newborn comfort cushion hails from the UK, and is actually the creation of a mother named Kerry Nevins. As a mom of two, Kerry wished there was something around when her kids were little that would make them comfortable and allow her to get a few tasks done. That’s where Babocush comes in, as it aims to help combat flat-head syndrome, serve as a safe and comfy place for your newborn to have a quick nap (or tummy time), and provide a solution to dreaded colic....

At first some of the kids looked shocked. Like, what the heck is going on?! Others were smiling. Some have no expression, perhaps searching the flash mob for their mom or dad in fear. But then it turned into an all-out dance party, and like every time I watch one of these flash mobs, I got all teary-eyed. Don’t laugh. I have no idea why. When I get happy, I cry....

I don’t think I could because every time I had to give someone my address, I would giggle. Or blush. I know, maybe I have an immature sense of humor, like a 13 year-old boy, but isn’t saying you live in Horneytown, North Carolina funny? So in the hopes of making you giggle, chuckle, or just plain laugh out loud, below is a list of 20 towns whose names may give you pause, along with some of each town’s imagined characteristics:...

Still, there are issues and then there are ISSUES, and a recent inquiry to Dear Prudie’s column on Slate is the latter kind. A young new mom walked in on her mother-in-law NURSING her newborn son. Let that sink in a moment, if you will. She walked in on her mother-in-law with her (bone-dry) breast in the baby’s mouth (OMG! OMG!). Assuming this is true and not a means of shocking readers, there isn’t a new mom out there who isn’t cringing right now....

We’re all for improvising in the bedroom! However, to prevent injury, Dr. Hansraj has this simple tip: Warm up for it — literally. “Take a long hot shower and stretch,” he suggests. “See if you can do those positions there because that’s where you’re most flexible. Make sure you can obtain and maintain those positions.” Then try them out for real. Dr. Hansraj reminds us that our first priority is physical health (including a strong, limber back) — “and then, great sex is the icing on the cake,” he says....

The number one offender here is probably the last person you’d expect: my mom — my children’s otherwise amazing and loving grandmother. A religious person who just can’t help herself and refuses to stop taking my toddler to church. Religion is NOT a safe topic to discuss in my parents’ home. On more than one occasion, my Atheist husband and I have been told that they are “scared” for my children because they aren’t baptized....

I am sorry. I’m sorry that you’ve been neglected for the last four and-a-half years. I’m sorry that your needs are secondary. I assure you, you are still one of my top priorities — you just aren’t on the top of the list anymore. I know that you have needs, wants, dreams, and desires. When I tell you that I want to be the one you lean on, I mean it....

Other than my husband, I honestly can’t remember how anyone reacted to my pregnancy news. But I’m sure I would have remembered had these two guys been my dads. Because THAT’S how you do it, folks. (Warning for the easily offended — profanity headed your way.) Embedded content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS9H3vc49kY And now I cry. Every announcement of a new family member is emotional, but think about it from these guys’ perspective....

But then when we get started, we’re like, “Ohhhhh! That’s what everyone was talking about. I’ll take childbirth over this any day of the week!” Just kidding. Well, maybe. Here are the 10 stages moms go through their first time breastfeeding. Shortly after we give birth, and we’re chock full of oxytocin, we’re all, “This is a breeze” when we’re first nursing our little one: Then, a few sessions later, we’re like, “Okay, now, this is starting to get a bit uncomfy....
