  • How We Met

    A friend of mine told me the story of a woman she knows who married a man she met three weeks prior, when he popped out of a manhole. No joke. Let me pause to let that sink in. (No pun intended.) I guess he was doi…

  • 500 Days of Summer

    I went to see the movie 500 Days of Summer yesterday. I think more than any other movie about relationships, it rings the most true for me. [SPOILER ALERT!] Quick synopsis: It's a simple boy-meets-girl story, and we k…

  • Choosing When to Quit and When to Commit

    It's funny how I've managed to find myself in romantic upsets during a time in my life when I've been feeling the least sure of where my career is going. This confluence of experiences has made me reexamine what it is t…

  • Housebroken

    I had my friend W over for dinner on Saturday night, and she got to talking about how, in spite of having lived with her husband for several years now and being still completely in love with him, she's still constantly a…

  • When the Heart Works

    I recently watched a Korean romantic comedy called 엽기적인 그녀, or "My Sassy Girl." The movie features one of the most bizarre relationship dynamics I've ever seen. This guy meets this girl on a subway. She's drunk as hel…

  • Sensitivity Chip

    I do think my dad is a good man. I really do. He works hard to provide for his family. He adores me and my brother. He's never plagued my mother with problems like gambling, alcoholism or infidelity. A dreamer himse…
