L.A. Affairs: I’m divorced. She’s divorced. Were we too jaded to fall back in love?

LA Times  

I was in the midst of a personal meltdown. But I am more comfortable being part of a “we.” I found myself looking for love in all the wrong places in L.A. I was out with my daughter late one night when I received a text from an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in a while. As I’ve learned, sometimes when you think you are looking for love in all the wrong places, you just need to open your eyes a bit wider. Find him on Instagram: @milmansearchgroup L.A. Affairs chronicles the search for romantic love in all its glorious expressions in the L.A. area, and we want to hear your true story.

As such, growing up in the LBC meant trips into Los Angeles were an occasion, the kind of pack-the-car event that is normally associated with …

My brother dropped me off curbside at Los Angeles International Airport and yelled, “Run!” Our timing getting to LAX was thwarted by the kind of notorious L.A. traffic that airline change fees and crushed dreams are made of.

Our L.A. stories were bridged in more ways than one on our first date. She was from the San Gabriel Valley and I’m from South L.A. During our post-dinner walk, we found ourselves at the foot of the 6th Street Viaduct, which neither of us had visited before. The panoramic view made me reflect on the good times we had …

My wife Kathy died in 2018 on my birthday, March 24, from breast cancer.

I came home one day in a torrential L.A. downpour and found at my …

Maybe two weeks into the relationship, Emily said to me, “You know this is just an affair, right? “They’ve got the best baguettes in town,” I said as I moved past her in the dusk, thinking that would be that.

I started seeing a therapist to tackle, head on, my trust issues. “So you like broken-winged birds, huh?” I asked, self-conscious that’s exactly what I was.
