If You've Just Been Dumped, "Doctor" Dax Shepard Has the Perfect Advice

Oh my God, Dax Shepard, are you sure you weren't a couples therapist in a past life? The hilariously handsome actor [1] took over for Ellen DeGeneres [2] on Thursday where he brought back his "Ask Dr. Dax" segment and offered some questionably sound relationship advice [3] to multiple women in the audience. Ahead of the premiere of season two of Bless This Mess [4], Dax, who stressed that he is by no means a doctor, tackled everything from breakups, to, uh, returning favors in the bedroom, and even how to avoid traumatizing your children [5] if they hear you having sex [6].

He kicked things off with a question from a woman who was unfortunately dumped the day before. "Obviously step one is bang all of his or her friends," Dax said jokingly. "Secondly, as a little personal mantra I have, I just say over and over again, 'This is temporary.' . . . You're going to feel completely different, you just have to be patient and feel the feelings, they're a gift." He also reminded someone, "You gotta state your needs," when expressing she wasn't receiving as much as she was giving in the bedroom.

Dax and his wife Kristen Bell [7] have one of the sweetest celebrity marriages, and I would absolutely pay to have them dictate my dating life à la Dr. Dax. Watch the hilarious video above.
