Reading Time: 2 minutes Personally, I do not want to become half of some amalgamated union. I want to feel desire and devotion for my beloved. Not obligation and or responsibility. That said, I cannot desire him, if I honestly see him as an extension of myself.

Curiosity is sexy.
It’s also really hard to fake.
Reading Time: 3 minutes Your fiance is asking you to try something that he enjoys, probably so that you can enjoy it together. It’s a good sign when a partner wants to share what excites them.

Reading Time: 3 minutes We don’t want to hurt anyone, so we speak to everyone.
We speak up without getting too specific. We play it safe hoping the people who need to hear our message will get it, and they won’t be embarrassed by the delivery.
Reading Time: 2 minutes It is very common for adults to have a tough time asking for their desires, but it still troubles me if two people who have spent years of time together aren’t able to feel comfortable enough for one to say to another: “I’ve realized that I’m craving some spontaneity around our sex.”

Reading Time: 4 minutes So, if you find yourself asking the question, “will this man ever leave his wife?” I would suggest you up your standards and think about what kind of man you really want to be with. What kind of life do you really want to live? Are you willing to live with the uncertainty about whether or not it will happen to you when the going gets tough, and it will, because life happens, and when life happens you will wonder. Trust me. You will.
