Now wait a minute. If you joined us at the Lonely Hearts Live Show this past Sunday, you already know how much we LOVE Valentine's Day. This week, along with a Carriage House Catch-Up, we thought it would be fun to revisit some of our classic love related cliffhangers from Patreons past. In this installment, we look back on Derek the "masc tormentor," the Danny/Gennaro/Tony Grindr ménage-à-trois, the possibly Scandinavian "Miserable in Love," and our "ostensibly straight" narcissist, who we REAL...

It's a classic Carriage House Catch-Up this week with Ronna (& Bryan). (Bryan)'s getting over a cold and the only thing that can help, apparently, is $500 cash, though Dr. Glickman has a second opinion on that particular treatment. But these amazing questions could also cure what ails you! This week we give advice on a very long but meaningful affair, a psychic guilt trip from Australia, and dealing with the biggest monster in real estate. It's like an epidural straight to your spine!
