“I’ve been thinking…” Oh, God. Those three words. My heart rate quickened, hoping the next set of words weren’t going to be awful. “I want to move to live with you in D.C. I really do. It’s just … I feel like this is all happening so fast. In a few months, I could have […]
Esquire is famous for running content for men written by women just how men hope women write but don’t, and this is not the first time I have thought WHAT? But here: in their Sex and the American Man series, author Lisa Taddeo explains (honestly) why women cheat. I will break it down for you, after the jump… 1. […]

So you’ve finally found The One (or at least The One For The Foreseeable Future) and you’ve committed to a serious relationship. Now what?
