What would this site be if we didn't try to use some of our own experiences to give out advice? Who are we to give advice you might ask. Good question. All we can say is that we are a couple trying to make a go of a relationship that has it up's and down's from time to time. We know how hard it is to try and be a "couple" in a society that still doesn't really recognize us. We know what it is like to live together and try and understand where the other one is coming from. We also know what it is like to try and get advice from out couple's. Our hope is that by us being honest about what relationships are like, we might offer help to others who may be dealing with similar issues.

Okay, with that said, here are some stories we have. We will try to write more over the next few months. If you would like to share some advice with other DC Dykes, contact us and let us know.
