Heart Searching: 13 years of marriage
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A friend and I placed a light-hearted advertisement in Time Out and were overwhelmed by the response. We plumped for a 'like- minded' pair of 'hedonistic' guys. A meeting was arranged and, to cut a long story short, I can report 13 years of happy marriage and two beautiful children as a result]
My friend? It didn't quite gel for her and my husband's friend but she later met her soulmate through the same channels. The strangest thing is that people still seem to find Lonely Hearts ads and dating agencies an eyebrow-raising subject. I am convinced it is a safer way of making friends than endless party-going - or was I just incredibly lucky?
