Photo credit: Getty My boyfriend and I planned a five-day vacation to Paris for his birthday about three months ago and now suddenly our plans are ruined. Despite already getting the time off approved at work, my boyfriend’s company just landed a new client with a major launch the same week we were planning our […]
About six months ago, my sister ran into some financial issues while she was on a trip out of the country and asked if she could borrow some money. I said yes with no hesitation given the situation, and she explained that she’d simply underestimated her expenses while she was away and it wouldn’t happen […]
My husband and I have been going through a rough patch for the past six months and we’ve come to the point where we’re considering separation and both individual and couple’s counseling. Before coming to a decision, however, my husband went on his annual boys trip with mutual married male friends of his, during which […]
My husband and I are both extremely hard-working upper-level managers, grinding day in and day out to make it to the top of the corporate ladder in our respective fields. Our competitive nature and understanding of each other’s drive is what makes us such a strong couple, but we realized lately we’ve been giving more to […]
My husband and I have two totally different approaches to downtime. While I prefer to relax and catch up on much-needed rest when I’m not working, my hubby is a busybody who can’t sit still. Most of the time we balance each other out. He goes and does his thing, playing ball with the boys […]

The promotion required him to temporarily relocate for a year to set up a new office for his company and we decided we’d try to stick to a schedule of seeing each other every three weeks, […]
Two of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2017 were to travel and be more spontaneous (I’m kind of a control freak) and both of those goals stared me right in the face last week when I saw a flight deal to Marrakesh that I’d be crazy (or too uptight) to pass up. So, I decided to […]
Last month my best friend of 10 years and I had a big falling out. Not an “I’ll call you next week and apologize” type of misunderstanding, but a huge argument that’s resulted in us not speaking since that time. Though I’ve missed by bestie during this break, given some of the things we each […]
I’ve been dating a guy for a month and, so far, things have been great. I’m really happy with the pace we’re moving at; we text or talk every day, have gone on a date once each week, and he’s made references to things we could do in the future that hint he could see us […]
