Valentine’s Day: you’ll be surprised what I think of it. The latest in my sex tips for girls* (*girls who are holding on to midlife by a thread). A dating odyssey for Young Olds, AKA, people w/readers
I wrote a longer, gushier comment about how much I enjoyed this post. Then the website fucking deleted it because LOVE IS DEAD, lol.
Suffice it to say that I am not surprised to find that being an excellent writer is one of your myriad talents.
As a WASP, I got to tell you that the cultural divide in our upbringings was surprisingly narrow and seemingly superficial—I deeply relate to what you have written.
I also really enjoy and insist on telling people I love them. PARTICULARLY people that clearly want my love but are uncomfortable with the words. (I got the vibe that the person [or one of the people] you were thinking of is someone we have in common, lol)
Accordingly, I will tell you, Abbe Aronson, that I very much love you, respect you and admire you. I am glad to know you. And I even LIKE you to boot—you are a hoot!
Great post, Abbe!! I’m ambivalent about Valentine’s Day myself - and sort of half-partnered at the moment which certainly doesn’t help me like it more! I don’t need a reminder of the limitations with the man I love. But I do like Love, and I love your Love Table concept! And that you’ve been a better parent than you were given (me too, oh boy!). Sending you a big chocolate heart and a hug!
Abbe—

WOW, BB! Thank you, love you too! xxxAA
I, too, am glad that you didn't listen to your misguided parents. They sound sad and dangerous. Rock on, chica!
Abbe ❤️
Happy happy Birthday 🎂 tomorrow, yes?
I was several weeks behind and am indulging in voraciously catching up.
Reparenting ourselves is a topic not covered nearly enough.
Wishing you a fantastic day
Thx for your DELICIOUS writing ❤️
Dear Abbe, I'm so glad you didn't believe them. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Happy Valentine Abby! Thank you for this thoughtful post🙏🏻
