They love talking about politics, art, spirituality, and sexuality — nothing is off limits. A lot of the time when they get together, they stay up talking until the sun comes up”.
“It’s super casual, but he’s more than just a hookup buddy, as they genuinely care about each other”.
And while they’re apart, they keep in contact through text messages.

A woman in Kentucky said noticed a bump on her wrist that wasn’t going away. At first she thought it was a spider bite, but it just “kept getting bigger and redder and worse” until it was larger than a quarter.
Even antibiotics didn’t help. When doctors finally figured out the cause of the bump, the woman “didn’t believe it.”
Her doctor says bacteria from a glittery hair tie she was wearing around her wrist got under her skin and caused not one but three types of infections.
The woman eventually had to get surgery to remove a large amount of pus from the infection.

A U.K. woman (Lauren Crouch) recently wrote about a man she met on Tinder, who demanded she give him a refund for the $5 he spent on her coffee after they met up at a train station.
She says it started to go downhill when the man said he wanted to get coffee at a chain shop on his side of the street because it “saves crossing.”
After about 30 minutes, he told her he had to leave because he was expecting a grocery delivery. She said the date was fairly normal but ended awkwardly, with the guy asking her if she wanted to come home with him where he would cook them dinner.
She turned him down, but the guy texted her later that night to ask her out again. He was persistent for a few texts after she said she didn’t believe they had chemistry.
Then he asked for a refund for the coffee, so he could spend it on another date.
She decided to be classy and offered to donate the five bucks to a charity of his choice instead.
The guy said he prefers to decide where he spends his money, and proceeded to give her his bank account number.
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen is discussing her less-than-perfect marriage to NFL quarterback Tom Brady, saying his Deflategate scandal challenged their relationship.
During an interview on CBS, Bundchen said, “We’ve been through a few tough times together. I think that’s when you know who are your friends and who loves you…”
She said, “I think, no matter how challenging it was, we’ve always been supportive of one another. I think that’s the most important thing you can have in life, you know? A support system and love.”
Bündchen also admitted she considered dumping Brady when she found out his former girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, was several months pregnant.
She said, “It was a challenging thing because here I am, you know, thinking I’m dating this guy. We met, we started dating, everything is great, and then this happens so I felt I didn’t know what to do,” she admitted. “Do I just run away?”
She now calls Brady a “kind” and “good man.” She also says of his son with Moynahan, “I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter bonus child.”
