EUGENEANS WEIGH IN ON
THEIR OWN LOVE LIVES
BY CAROLINA REID AND KEVIN SULLIVAN
Emily Aguilera , 26, single
Probably not being around her all the time.
What is one of your most memorable
Valentine’s Days?
Probably about three years ago, on the
beach around the fi re with a girlfriend.
Have you ever walked in on someone?
Nope.
Have you ever been walked in on?
Yep. It didn’t go very well — it kind of ruined
the moment.
Do you know what polyamory is?
No.
Can you take a guess?
Probably multiple partners?
I always locked the door. I always liked
privacy. I’m kind of a private fellow. I’m kind
of old-fashioned that way.
Do you have plans this Valentine’s Day?
Absolutely not. Without a girlfriend,
Valentine’s Day is better put off until Easter.
It’s a cold month. If I had me a [insert
inappropriate ethnic term here], maybe
things would be different.
Do you know what polyamory is?
That has something to do with the Greek
word poly, and it isn’t plastic, like polymer.
I think it has to do with a group activity —
group sex? Am I close?

Tiffany Trinidad , 32, married for
What’s the best part about being alone?
Well, being lonely isn’t all it’s cracked up to
be, like old age.
What is one of your most memorable
Valentine’s Days?
Probably before my wife died, we had
a church Valentine’s supper and they
served some lousy spaghetti and charged
ten bucks a plate. But I remember it well
because it was colorful and my wife was
with me — lots of people I love were there.
Have you ever walked in on someone?
Nope. But I’m about as loose as a
homophobic bastard can get. I’ve always
been a person that if I thought it was
necessary, I did it. I got fi ve children.
Obviously I was busy.
Have you ever been walked in on?
I don’t think anybody’s ever walked in
on me having sex. I’m a cautious fellow.
What’s the best part about being married?
How do I put it? Not comfortable, but — you
know, the security.
What’s the worst part about being
married?
Well, we get along pretty well but I guess
disagreeing on stuff, on parenting. Usually
I win.
Have you ever been cheated on?
Oh yeah. One time. We worked through it.
What is one of your most memorable
Valentine’s Days?
I think the one when we got together,
because when we fi rst got together it was
on Valentine’s Day in 1997. I don’t remember
what we did — I know he got me fl owers,
but I don’t remember. We hung out.
Do you have plans this Valentine’s Day?
I told him I want to go out. We haven’t done
that in a long time. Just getting out of the
14 years
What is one of your most memorable
Valentine’s Days?
It was actually last Valentine’s Day. It was
my fi rst Valentine’s Day being single. I got
to just play tennis with my closest friends,
go to school, go sit in a park and hang out
during our breaks. It was beautiful; there
was no expectation for that day.
Have you ever walked in on someone?
Besides my parents …
Michael Berge , 53, currently
separated
What is the best part about being single?
Not having to answer to anybody but
yourself.
What is the worst part about being single?
Nobody to split dinner with, half and half.
Share portions, get that variety when you
go out to eat; you’re stuck to that one dish.
Have you ever been cheated on?
Not to my knowledge.
Have you ever cheated on someone?
Once. It was with one of my coworkers, and
he lived in the same apartment complex as
me. And I felt so bad. I ended up admitting
it right after to my boyfriend, and we tried
to make it work after that. But it didn’t, so
we broke up. But we dated for another year
and have been best friends since then.
What’s the best part about being separated?
That’s a hard one. Probably a little more
freedom to fi nd companionship.

separated?
