Being a parent is a wonderful experience, but also a bewildering one. I have two children, and although I try to give them the best of myself, I often feel that I'm not raising them with the same confidence and ease that my parents had when they raised me. They seemed to know exactly how to do it: what limits to set, what freedoms to give, what values ​​to instill. I, on the other hand, have many more doubts.

And yet, many still resist the onslaught, hiding behind a cap that will be their new companion in the coming months.

Before separating, Raúl (a fictitious name to maintain his anonymity) saw a lot of potential in dating apps and was eager to try them out. Having had the opportunity, he hasn't used them and is "far from" doing so. He wants to stop spending so many hours in front of his phone and delving into this world is precisely going in the other direction. But the truth is, he hasn't missed them. "I've met people who have interested me and people who have interested me," he says when explaining how he's handled this new situation. He also confesses that being able to experiment has been a "healthy and good motivation" for him.

The strategy of spite is one of the most useful for bringing corruption to the surface in the media, and Telecinco has its hand broken. Mayte Zaldívar has been the leading figure since she went on air live in 2004, explaining how her ex-husband, Julián Muñoz, kept garbage bags full of bundles of bills at home.

Rumors that 17-year-old Lamine Yamal might be dating a 30-year-old content creator, and Alejandro Sanz's confession that he had a relationship with a fan 30 years younger than him, have brought the topic of relationships with large age gaps back to the forefront. This issue frequently returns to public debate, where the question arises as to whether two people at different stages of their lives and with very different personal backgrounds can have a functional relationship. And in the case of minors, like the Barça player, it raises even more questions. In this regard, Spanish law is clear and sets the age of sexual consent at 16. Even if people younger than that age agree to have sex with an adult, this consent has no legal validity. And not only are sexual relations legislated in this regard, but other types of actions with clear sexual content are also included, such as conversations, recording images, or videos.

Dating and partner-finding apps have revolutionised the way humans interact in terms of sexual and emotional relationships in the West. These types of apps are so common that it even seems impossible to have other ways of getting along beyond trading images and chatting on the mobile phone screen.

But although they may seem from another era, physical marriage agencies have not disappeared, quite the opposite.
