10 years ago, on Valentine’s, I asked the love of my life on a date.

This year, on Valentine’s, I asked her to marry me.

She said no both times.

HAHAHHAHAHAH this one made me giggle.

People don’t fall in love in San Diego.

Why do you say that?

Met my SO on hinge and on our 4th or 5th date, we got sake wasted at saiko sushi in coronado. We walked over to the bay after dinner and my drunk ass fell in the ocean, fully clothed! Thankfully it was high tide so I didn’t hit rocks. He pulled me back up and pretty sure I fell in love with him that night. My hero LOL

Met my SO in Vegas at the Hard Rock Cafe at 2:00 am. I was playing blackjack. He was there for his friend’s bachelor party. That was in 2002. We are still together. I moved from MO to CA in 2007 so we could actually live in the same city.

Late to the party here but I’m originally from the east coast, moved here about 4 years ago without knowing anyone. I got a puppy during Covid and got a fully remote job so started taking my and my roommates dog to the dog park and that’s how I met my boyfriend.

We would go around the same time everyday and our dogs would play which allowed us time to get to know one another.

Our first date was super casual since we were already “friends”

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

Has anyone dealt with coming to terms with an emotionally abusive relationship? I struggle to admit this (because more drastic examples come to mind), but my therapist mentioned that things like yelling/throwing things/blocking me from leaving the room are also abusive traits my ex demonstrated. It makes me feel alienated from myself — like “how could I have allowed myself to be treated like that?”. Also feeling ashamed to tell anyone
