Yvonne Herbst reflects on her three marriages and divorces, advising her daughter to follow her heart rather than settling. She emphasizes that despite past failures, her relationship with her daughter's father, conceived amidst those struggles, is something she cherishes.
Lyndsey Ellis recounts her unusual meeting with her partner at a movie theater. A seating mix-up led to their chance encounter, and they now celebrate their anniversary by watching a film, a tradition born from their unique beginning.
Recently, my 28-year-old daughter called me seeking counsel on the state of her love life: How do I know if the person I’m dating is “the one” for me? Should I settle for what I have now even though something feels off? Or should I keep searching for someone who “checks all the boxes”? With three marriages and three divorces behind me, I can only tell her this: My sorrowful and misguided love life led me to a relationship with her father, which resulted in her conception. And that I do not regret for one second. — Yvonne Herbst
Winter was on its last legs when we saw “Creed III” alone, together. Waiting for the lights to dim in a crowded St. Louis movie theater, he said hello first. I said hi back and took him in: kind eyes, smooth skin, clean beard, warm smile. Whew! Side by side, we enjoyed the film, eventually exchanging numbers during closing credits. “You’ll never believe how we got here,” Jerome told me later. Turns out he’d swapped spots with a married couple whose original tickets had them seated separately. Years later, we honor our fateful “Creedversary” with another movie (this time sitting together intentionally). — Lyndsey Ellis
