Lean in to messy? Maybe there's something to learn here. My ongoing sex tips for girls* (*girls who are holding on to mid-life by a thread). A dating odyssey for Young Olds, AKA, people with readers.
Early on in my current relationship, my new bf was cutting up an apple for his smoothie and I asked if I could have a couple of slices…the next day, after he made his smoothie, I saw a few apple slices on the counter and he said “those are for you—I know you like them”. I put my hand to my heart and said “that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!” It hit me then that there ARE men who are happy to do nice things for their partners without being asked. I was stunned. What does that tell you about my 27 year marriage?? I had been the wife, mom, boss, planner, organizer, decision maker, carrier of the mental load, etc. for 27 years. Wow.
Struggle is real. Thank you! xoA
