What does love really look like over 45 years?

In this episode of My Kommunity, I sit down with my dad — a retired NYC public school teacher — to talk honestly about love, heartbreak, breakups, timing, fate, and what it actually takes to build a life with someone over decades.

From awkward first dates and missed signals… to career struggles, three breakups, and finally choosing each other — this is a raw, funny, and deeply human love story.

We talk about:

• Finding love when the timing isn’t perfect
• Whether soulmates are real
• Why no relationship is ever “perfect”
• Why relationships aren’t failures just because they end
• And what makes love worth the effort
