There are so many situations in life we swear we won’t ever let happen to us, but we all know how life can mess the things in so an ironic way… So, you end up being in a long-distance relationship, and you literally don’t know how to behave and what to do next. You ask […]
I’m 25 and for the last year and a half, I’ve been living in Canada (I’m American). I want to go to law school and practice in the US. Since law school is expensive, my parents have generously offered to let me move back home and live with them rent-free so I can save money. […]
Right now, I’m in the most serious relationship I’ve ever been in; as in, even though I live in New York and he lives in San Francisco, we’ve talked about where and when we could live together—and how soon.
