Love in the Time of Facebook: Slam That Door Shut on Your Way Out

By Sarah Wildman - Politics Daily

It started innocently enough. A query: "Are you the right Sarah Wildman?" But when I saw it, I flushed with adrenaline -- irrationally guilty. I had Googled him the day before, and there he was in my Facebook inbox as though some site tracker had wended its way into his consciousness, whispering that I, too, was peeking around virtual corners. It was Child Star, the love of my junior year in high school, an actor. I pictured his teenage bedroom, his emerald green Mazda. Now he wrote: "Fifteen years to catch up on!" I didn't know where to begin. Mine is the last generation to even have such ...

On Her Wedding Day, Saying the Things Left Unsaid

By Andrew Cohen - Politics Daily

The great love of my life marries today and I am not the groom. I had my chance, a few years ago, but did not realize until too late how fleeting my moment with her was meant to be.

Before you start retching, let me add that it's a miracle we made it to 33 years. Marriage is hard, as my colleague Delia Lloyd eloquently explained in her post, More Wives Should Dump Their Husbands. Delia was moved to write by the sad tale of Silda Spitzer, who literally stood by her man when her husband Eliot Spitzer resigned his post as New York governor. ...

My Intimate Evening With Elizabeth Gilbert (and 750 Adoring Fans)

By Linda Kulman - Politics Daily

One of my acquaintances believes the runaway international best-seller, "Eat, Pray, Love," should have been named "Starvation, Celibacy, Death" to better represent what author Elizabeth Gilbert experiences in its pages. Clearly the multiple pizzas Gilbert devours in Italy and her budding romance with Felipe in Bali don't satisfy my friend's appetites. But for every Elizabeth Gilbert naysayer, there are many more fans -- 750 of whom sold out her Washington, D.C., reading last week -- the second stop in Gilbert's multi-city tour of "Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage." See my ...
