In this week’s story, a woman takes her unconventional relationship to a new level: 35, single, Brooklyn. 

DAY ONE

10 a.m. Getting ready to head to leave my apartment in Brooklyn for campus in Manhattan. I’m a professor and I teach class three times a week.

11 a.m. I text Henry, my ex — we recently broke up after six months together. He’s a scientist, and I’m a professor and journalist, so we had plenty to talk about and hit it off right away.
