When you think of an escort, you might think of a single woman. In a lot of cases, this is true. The sex work industry is still surrounded by stigma, and many people can't handle being in a relationship with someone whose job is to entertain men. As a wife who works in escorting, however, I look forward to my husband pouring me a glass of Sancerre after work while I count my bills. I met my husband online, like many other busy professionals. I started escorting maybe a few months after we started dating. There are pros and cons of having a sex worker as a partner, but I'd say ours are not what you'd expect. Advertisement I am out as a sex worker to everyone in our lives. My husband is a financial technology executive. Tech is a very liberal industry, so my job is honestly not an issue. In fact, young software engineers think that it's "cool" he's married to a hot, high-end escort. But it doesn't erase the overall societal stigma surrounding my work. In...

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, about one in five adults had a mental illness. Without a doubt, the pandemic has affected the state of mental health in our country and made mental illness even more common. It is rare that a family is not touched by a mental health condition, one that can interfere with your or a loved one's ability to work, sleep, eat, and enjoy life. Mental health disorders include anxiety, depression, seasonal affective disorder, or more serious illnesses as bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more. Unfortunately, most people with mental illness do not receive mental health services that they need. Adblock test (Why?)

I was warned not to marry outside my faith, but when Jillian was asleep in my bed, I would cry, unable to imagine a world without her. I am Muslim. My potential father-in-law, Bob, is an evangelical Christian. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with his daughter, Jillian, but Bob had some serious concerns about that plan. "What if he exerts his Muslim manhood on you?" he asked Jillian. When Jillian told me about her father's remark, I thought, "I barely have manhood. How do I get Muslim manhood?" In 2013, I had been dating Jillian for a little over a year. She made medical school bearable at the University of Wisconsin, where during our third year we were placed at the same hospital for our psychiatry rotation. After we finished that, Jillian hosted a Rubik's Cube-themed party, and I swapped clothes with other classmates and ended up in all yellow clothes, including not-so-flattering yellow tights. I hadn't made a move on her during the party, so I hu...

I never thought about how painful friendship breakups could be until I experienced one. The moment I realized that my best friend was actually not my best friend anymore, I didn't want to believe that we had grown apart — to think about the fact that we hadn't seen each other in months. I didn't want to believe that my best friend all throughout high school no longer cared about coming to visit me or was interested in making plans to go to concerts or movies or do any of the things we used to enjoy doing together. I didn't want to believe that she hadn't asked me once in the last month how I was doing. But it was true, I was just no longer a priority to her anymore and our friendship had become toxic. Strong friendships are very important to our well-being, and way more than we might realize. No one wants to feel like they're alone, and that's a feeling I've become way too familiar with after my friendship breakup. And if you want to have genuine friends...

Every zodiac sign has its strengths and weaknesses — and Aries is no exception. Born under the cardinal fire sign, Aries are often pegged as immature, impetuous, and self-centered, but they're also dynamic, fun, and fearless. If you're similarly free-spirited, action-oriented, speedy, and active, you'll likely click with an Aries. Annually, Aries, ruled by Mars, the planet of action and symbolized by the Ram, kicks off not only springtime but a whole new astrological cycle, serving as the ultimate go-getter. Here is Aries' compatibility with all 12 signs of the zodiac. Aries and Aries Compatibility Two fiery, dynamic, athletic Aries might make the best, most kickass duo ever, up for whatever — from impromptu travel to a doubles match — at the spur of the moment. But because both have a tendency to be rather me-centric and competitive, this is also a pairing that could prove to be too hot to handle. Aries and Taurus Com...

As a professional astrologer, people ask me all types of questions. Of the most common curiosities is "what are the best zodiac signs ?" along with its evil twin, "what are the worst zodiac signs?" While I appreciate any and all astrological inquiries, including zodiac signs compatibility, let me set the record straight: In astrology, there are no winners or losers. In fact, when you enter the metaphysical realm (the world of stars, tarot cards, tea leaves, etc.), that black-and-white binary goes straight out the window. In this magical, mystical domain, we work with nuance. Every sign is a powerful, vital piece in the puzzle that is the zodiac. The four elements — air signs, fire signs, water signs, earth signs — all work together to create a comprehensive whole, which shows up in your life as your unique personality traits. Although astrology is an extremely complex study, the most fundamental principle of astrology centers on the 12 familiar star signs of the z...
