Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

PETER is about to marry the girl he has been going out with since the sixth form. They have been together exclusively through school and are very much in love - and like many young couples in the Aids generation, they have never messed around. Two months before the wedding, Peter confides that he regrets not having slept with another woman. He is tempted to have sex with another girl whom he finds attractive, just once, or he fears he'll be tempted to be unfaithful later on. He asks for your advice.

Please send your comments and suggestions to me at the Features Department, the Independent, 40 City Road, London EC1Y 2DB; fax 071-956 1739, by Tuesday morning. If you have any dilemmas that you would like to share with readers, let me know. I will report back next Thursday.
