Crisis Time Romance

Remember when all those New Yorkers who dumped each other got back together after 9/11? I Can't. Stop. Thinking. About. Whether this Greatest Depression of ours is going to have a similar effect on this city's reckless, love-starved population.

So while others would like to hear your generalized tales of economic and job woe, I'd seriously be fascinated (trust me, I live for this stuff) by your wonky overshares about the rest of it. You know, relationships, hah! Maybe because you just need to rant and you can't afford to see your shrink anymore?

No, but seriously, have these Dark Days of Wall Street prompted you to reconnect with your ex or pseudo-ex or maybe-almost person or fuck buddy? Is it all beautiful and perfect now? Hmm, perhaps it's just the opposite: Did things suddenly just get really serious because your S.O. just lost his or her job, and you feel too damn guilty to leave them? Did you suggest moving in together, not because you want to, but because it would help cut costs?! Did you break up with your boyf or lady so you coud enjoy being single now that everyone might be looking to get all hedonistic instead of playing it special and safe? I dunno, just tell me stories in the comments or email them to me. I won't use anything for personal or professional gain unless you say it's okay. Or, maybe I'll just clutch them to the place where my heart used to be and hope we don't all die alone. OMG KTHX in advance.
