Survey: Is the Economy Affecting Your Love Life?

Whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship, we want to know: Is the state of the economy affecting your love life?

When stress takes over in times of uncertainty, men and women have distinct coping mechanisms and often their needs are conflicting. Men may go to their cave, wanting nothing more than to be left alone with their concerns. Women may fall into their well, needing to talk things out so they can start to feel better.

Some couples manage to stomp out stress and turn the negatives happening around them into positives; other couples falter under the weight of such stress. If you’re single, personal stress can make the ups and downs of dating even more complicated to figure out.

Where do you fit in the equation? How do you cope? Share with us how your love life has been altered by the financial times, whether positively or negatively.
