REATIONSHIP ROLLERCOASTER

CAMBRIDGE FORUM invites you to a free public discussion on Tuesday, June 8 at 4 pm ET.

The pandemic was a lethal litmus test for relationships of all kinds. A motley assortment of people found themselves locked down together. Some saw the deaths of family or friends. Others were deprived of seeing neighbors, co-workers, schoolfriends or they lost the support of community groups like choirs. As we emerge from the Covid cocoon, a significant number of relationships have cemented or ended but several million Americans have also acquired pets.
