In Love Online

A little snapshot of love stories from around the web.

One of my all-time favorite love stories told at the Moth podcast: Mike Destefano recalling his love for Franny in Franny’s Last Ride.

Calvin Trillin, who always wrote about his wife, remembers her life in this incredible essay “Alice Off the Page” which you can read here (if you have a subscription to the New Yorker) or here.

A Modern Love essay about a husband telling his wife, “I don’t love you anymore” and her responding with “I don’t buy it.”  On sticking it out.

And if all those have you feeling too good, here’s a This American Life episode about break-ups.
