How the hell do you find a decent, affordable apartment in the DC area? I’ve looked on Apartmentlist, Craigslist, and Hotpads and am striking out everywhere.

Rent someone’s condo, they are usually under market and if it’s a full service building you don’t have to deal with your landlord. Check Craigslist

Op Rosslyn, River Place will be under 1600. Also can easily find studios in row houses and older apartments for that in DC. I was looking at 1brs for around that in Cap Hill and Eastern Market/H street etc

You can get 1 bedroom apartments in Rockville area for around &1228 per month rent. DC prices are high so maybe moving a few minutes out might get you a 1 bedroom cheaper.

I bought a townhouse in Alexandria. 40 mins by train to my office. 20 to the airport. I would say look outside of DC proper.

Re-consider a studio unless not having a roommate is really worth $6k a year to you.

You pay a lot or you live far away / in a shitty spot

OP That’s doable. We found one bedrooms for less than that in both Columbia Heights/Petworth and Eastern Market

Yes, old Town in Alexandria has affordable rentals!

Van Ness has not fancy but definitely quality (and large) 1 bedrooms for $1800. Great neighborhood too. I lived there while I was saving for a down payment. Check out Connecticut House - tell Juan that I sent you

I have a room available starting 1/1/19 in my 4bd/3.5ba townhouse! bedroom with shared bathroom (and 1/2 bath on main level) with other super clean consultants for only $825 a month! 10 min walk to ballston metro and free street parking

You should be able to find a studio in a decent neighborhood for $1,500ish.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
