Getting even one night off every other week sounded like a dream.Thankfully, our upstairs neighbors had two kids who got along with mine, and the parents were just as eager for a break.The logistics are simpleEvery Tuesday night, one family hosts a kids’ dinner.

On New Year’s Day, I sat crying alone on the sofa while my partner, Max, slept. I wished it were just the one too many glasses of cava I had the night before. But it was something worse: a sudden, panicky feeling that time had moved faster than I realized.When we met in 2015, I was 29, and he was 46 — 17 years my senior.
