I took my query to Google in equal parts bewilderment and amusement after my husband marched into my home office yet again that day, asking me to locate his Airpods for the third time in less than 12 hours....
When our son was six months old, I agreed with my husband that we would not have more children. We had one wild, strong-willed two-year-old girl and our always-sick-with-some-virus-from-daycare boy who was not yet sleeping through the night. This...
Steve and I have been married for 14 years. From the onset of our relationship, we knew that we were very different. He preferred nights with a Blockbuster movie while I was still very much in my party girl...
I was planning to move to the guest room. It was a week after our son’s birthday, but this decision had been brewing for months. I finally had enough, enough of what I could not entirely articulate, but enough...

I love my husband, but I’m in an emotional affair.
I’m not sure how I let this happen. I’m a happily married woman, or I thought I was. A long-lasting relationship and a few children, what more could anyone want?...
This wasn't supposed to be my story. A failing marriage was never supposed to be an option and was not supposed to be my story. I woke up one day from a marriage fog and realized that for the...
