I was casually strolling down a sunny Hawaiian street in the small town of Captain Cook alongside a new girlfriend I hadmade a few weeks earlier, when a man pulled his truck over just behind us and tried to get our attention.

Here’s the conundrum: the person who you love most in the world wants to talk about an issue.
