If you are white, SD... it’s not exactly a small coastal town though. If you like it warm and have $ to throw around, SB. If you have young kids, Monterey. If you wanna smoke weed and lounge around, Santa Cruz.

Single, non white

Any but SD

SD and SB (in that order). The other two options aren't even in the same league.

My husband does not show affection openly and is quite lazy in bed, and I thought I could deal with it because I love him, but it’s really really beginning to annoy me. For example, he refuses to do any foreplay and basically asks that I get on top of him most of the time when we have have sex- if I push him to do anything else he basically just refuses to have sex at all as some sort of ‘protest’. I am finding myself fantasising about an affair more and more
