William and Harry’s mom was killed because the press was literally chasing her to get some bullshit pictures and a story. They made her entire life hell, and then cut it short.

Two thirty-something men with their own young families and ever-diverging roles in the family business are no longer the double act they once were. Sounds like a normal adult sibling relationship to me.

Breaking: Adult Siblings Don't Live in Each Other's Pockets, Occasionally Disagree.

You’d think someone would have told the daughter of Richard L. Simon of Simon & Schuster fame about the perils of the publishing industry.

It’s not a story about falling in love, but one of my best friends and I had a meet-cute. We both attended our Art History meet n greet event at the beginning of our first year at the same University, both had been too shy to talk to other people after accidentally both spilling coffee on ourselves. I decided “Dammit…

This isn’t my story but that of a former roommate. This was 25 years ago (pre-Internet), and you could put personal ads in the local Pennysaver with a voice mail box so potential dates could leave messages for one another and talk on the phone before deciding to meet up. My roommate at the time ran an ad and had some…

Mid ‘80s at a Major Midwestern University. We’re both grad students, she in discipline P, me in discipline S, taking an advanced course that’s cross-listed with both of those and discipline E.

This one’s short, sweet, and belongs to my parents.

So, not totally “meet” cute, but...

I met my husband in a park in Tokyo back in 2004. My friend and I were walking around the city one night and saw some guys hanging around a swing set. My friend was 20 and I was 23 and they looked close enough to our ages that we went over to speak with them. We found out that they were finishing up high school (a bit…

My husband and I have this running gag about how we should have known each other at least 10 years earlier. Of all of the friends in common and strange coincidences, this is my favorite. I got a new cable modem and called my cable company to get it set up. I worked in tech support, and bulldozed my way into talking to…

I’m a witness to this particular story.

My husband, the ranch foreman, was digging the foundation of a greenhouse with a co-worker when I walked up, escorted by my soon-to-be-new-boss, during my interview for a management position on the ranch. His co-worker whistled and said quietly, “There’s one for you!” and as I walked up he met me with the most…

I was lazily fucking my now-husband’s roommate. The roommate moved. Fast forward 33 years...

We were both teaching assistants from rival university departments that happened to share a single coffee shop betwixt them. We met in line for coffee on the morning of my birthday when I heard a sigh behind me and turned to ask, “Tough day already?” Best. Birthday. Present. Ever. :)

October 2007, NYC. I’d recently moved from my first apartment in the city (a gorgeous studio in the West 70s that threatened to put me into debt but at least let me entertain fantasies of a Nora Ephron-esque adulthood for a few months) to a shared space with a roommate in deep Brooklyn. Missing the UWS, I’d use…

I used to get together with a friend where we’d look at the Craigslist personals and laugh and feel better about being single. Then, one day we read one that sounded too good to be true. “Not Lonely, Not Whiny and Definitely Not a Redneck.” I made a fake email account, didn’t use my name and replied and asked for…

I’m terminally single, but this story of how my Nanna and Pop got together is my absolute favourite.

I could tell he was going to be hot naked as soon as I saw him. I quickly undressed that ridiculous silver suit he was wearing piece by piece, savoring his scent every bit of the way. I knew it was true love as soon as I had my tongue wrapped around his salty pork but alas, my relationship with Burrito was meant to be…

I had just boarded a train and was looking for a seat. The train started to move unexpectedly and I fell face first into a guys lap. I said “I might as well introduce myself”, and we got to talking about books. We dated for awhile and told the “how we met” story to evvvveeryone.
