    Maybe we wish there was one, but there is no giant book that governs the way that we should act in a serious relationship. We've all been there: when things go sour and a breakup happens, it feels like your world is crumbling. With time you heal, you move forward, you meet other people. The harsh reality? Getting over an ex isn't easy. And sometimes, you don't have to.

    I know, I know, getting back together with an ex has all sorts of nasty stipulations. So many questions pop up: If it didn't work out before, why will this be any different? Why now? The reality? Not all relationships end because one person deliberately hurt the other. Not all relationships end in tears.

    Thus I present you with 5 times getting back together with an ex is a good idea. Seriously.

    Former Teen Mom star Maci Bookout may be in a happy -- albeit long-distance -- relationship with Taylor McKinney, but that doesn't seem to bother her ex and Bentley's daddy, Ryan Edwards. Having broken up with longtime girlfriend Dallis Connell and proposed to Maci on Twitter back in December, he appears to still be single ... and still be possibly pining for the mother of his son.

    While it appears to have been edited or taken down, Ryan reportedly posted a photo taken on a beach, along with the caption, "If I just had the love of my life with me @MaciBookoutMTV." And before that, he tweeted, "@MaciBookoutMTV happy Mother's Day we love you!" Awww. No wonder fans of the former couple are rooting for the pair to get back together.

    Still, Maci seems resistant to the idea, and it's probably in her best interest.

    I’m coming up on the seven-year anniversary of my second marriage.

    And I’m really, really happy in my relationship with my husband.

    But I can’t help thinking back to this same time in my first marriage, when I was unhappy and contemplating divorce. Which I followed through with just a year later.

    What a difference the second time around has been. I have no doubt that this marriage will last for an eternity.

    And I’m not alone. A study by the Marriage Foundation found that second marriages are less likely to end in divorce. While 45 percent of first marriages break up, only 31 percent of second marriages follow suit.

    I like those statistics. And I agree with the reasons that go along with them: age and experience.

    Marriage is hard. Divorce is contagious. These are things we know. Fact. Also fact is Rod Stewart has a lot of hair. And good sperm since he made a baby at 65 and has eight kids spanning two generations. I mean he did sing the song Forever Young (original by Bob Dylan though.) He also seems to have this marriage racket down despite being twice divorced before he hitched up with Penny Lancaster who is 26 years his junior. She's 42; he's a sprightly 68. Rod's dishing about he and his third wife broke up for two weeks. Two whole weeks! It was after a huge fight and when you are made of money like Stewart is, it's easy to say I'm going to the house in Tahiti and you stay here in the Hollywood hills and let's see if this marriage is going to work out.

    Lucky for them it created yearning. Rod has some secrets on making his third marriage a true charm.

    It's true, you know. You don't just marry the man, you marry the whole family. So what happens when said family doesn't think you're the right choice? Just ask Miley Cyrus. Word is, Liam Hemsworth's brothers Chris and Luke staged an intervention to end his engagement.

    It seemed for awhile there that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were never ever EVER getting back together. Selena gleefully told David Letterman that she had made Justin "cry" and seemed ecstatic about the fact that she was single. Yeah, a little too ecstatic, I agree. But then strange things began happening -- we saw that Justin had a Selena screen grab on his cellphone and he tweeted a pic of the two of them together and, well, suddenly millions of 12-year-olds went into a deep depression. So Justin and Selena are back together -- at least for the time being. And Selena had some rather interesting things to say about her boyfriend in a new interview.

    When I heard NBA player Jason Collins had come out, I thought, Good for him. Yay! Come out, come out, wherever you are! But then I heard he'd had a finacée named Carolyn Moos for eight years. He broke up with her in 2009 -- but didn't tell her it was because he was gay. And I thought, Damn it. Why is this still going on? I get it. It's hard for anyone to come out, let alone a professional athlete who is still actively playing. That's why it's so important that someone be the first to do it. Then more gay men and women of all professions can feel safe doing it, and eventually no one will need to do it, because no one will give a fig about anyone's sexuality. But there always seems to be a straight spouse somewhere in the shadows, not getting the accolades, not getting the high-fives and congrats, who is just left bewildered, betrayed, and confused.

    It's not that unusual to start out a new relationship thinking you've found The One, only to eventually end up feeling you've found The Wrong One. How exactly does that happen? Well, people change. And sometimes they change a lot -- and not for the better. Imagine being 17-year-old Nadine Ascencao, who lost her virginity to her first boyfriend, who happened to be none other than Boston Marathon bomber suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

    When I got divorced 10 years ago, I stayed in the house that my then-husband and I had bought. After everything was finalized, I slowly began making some changes at home to reflect my newly single status.

    The things I tackled first were the ones that were the most intimate between my ex and me. Anything that touched his bare body? Gone. Things that reminded me of long-ago promises? Gone. (Except, of course, our children. I didn’t get rid of them. They’re wonderful, and probably my best reminder of what was good about my marriage.)

    After I finally got around to making those changes, I realized I should have made them a lot sooner. Because they stopped me from looking around the house and seeing memories of my failed marriage. Instead, I looked around and was able to see my bright future.

    Out of everything I replaced, these 10 were the ones that made the most impact in my day-to-day life.

    Guys have a saying: Bros before hos. But women don't really have an equivalent. There is really nothing worse than your BFF starting a relationship with a guy you can't stand. You know you're cooked. Your friend isn't going to break up with the guy just because you don't like him. In fact, she's going to make your life miserable by complaining about him to you all of the time. I wonder if it was this kind of scenario that supposedly made Katy Perry drop her raunchy BFF like a hot piece of steaming dog doo after she got back together with Chris Brown. Reportedly, the two had a falling out because Katy didn't approve of Chris. But Katy must have come around, because she and Rihanna have been flirting via Twitter.
