An update on Rewire:

Since 2016, Rewire has been on a mission to help young adults navigate some of early adulthood's biggest questions and challenges. We've published thousands of stories and reached millions of readers through this work and we wouldn't have been able to do this without the help and talent of so many.

And so, it is with all kinds of feelings that we share this with you all: Come end of August, Rewire.org will no longer be publishing new stories.

Thank you to our talented freelancers, our small but mighty staff—past and present—and to you, the readers of Rewire. You have been our inspiration and we're so grateful for this special place on the internet you helped shape and grow. Thank you.

We will continue to produce new episodes of our YouTube music series Sound Field—plz subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/soundfieldpbs

And we’re excited to be working on something totally new for PBS Digital Studios coming this fall to the PBS Voices channel. https://www.youtube.com/pbsvoices

While our final story will publish on August 31, 2021, the Rewire.org website will remain live for the foreseeable future, so please continue to share and enjoy.

Therapy had been a big leap for me. But once it went virtual, it didn't have the same payoff.

It's easy to feel black and white about cheating before it happens in your relationship. But if it does happen, things can get messy.

If you or your partner has cheated, it's certainly possible to stay together. But is there a way to know if you should even try, or just move on?

Because between sessions, conversations can spiral out of control.

Couples therapy can leave you both heated. Making a plan can help.
