As the Riverdale teens go on, they remember all the times they had together. But as their lives change, come whatever, will they still be friends forever?

I’m a 30-year-old straight woman in a three-year relationship with my live-in partner, who is also 30. I love him and he loves me and he wants to make a life with me.

After an abbreviated fourth season and an extended hiatus, Riverdale finally returns to wrap up senior year—but it’s not all proms and graduation-day promenades. In typical Riverdale fashion, the teens still have a major mystery to solve before they can time-jump to their twenties, and that’s the identity of “The…
I could really use your advice. I recently found my boyfriend’s HIV meds while I was house-sitting for him and went into his cupboard for a multivitamin. We’ve been dating for a year and I had assumed he was negative. I’m negative myself and on PrEP and he is undetectable, so I know there is essentially zero risk of…
