It felt really strange to me how much they emphasized that the couple met online. It's not 1996 anymore, that's a thing that happens now...it's a distraction from the real absurd part of this situation - the fact that she has to work so many jobs to get by.

about their stories here is like posting stuff from the Moonie Times. (That's not a criticism of you, just a public service announcement.)
