Love + Relationships

Chapter 2

Most of us have experienced some form of pain in the course of our existence here on planet Earth. Some have experienced significant physical pain. Some have experienced horrific emotional pain. Some have experienced a combination of the two that would bring anyone to their breaking point.

As a married, middle aged woman who stays home all day and tends house, people will often ask me what I do all day. The starkness of such an empty inquiry never ceases to perplex the deep recesses of my mind, and I can't help but feel a painful twinge of sympathetic compassion for the one who asked.

We’ve all been there before..meeting a person we find ridiculously attractive and all is going well until little things happen that we look past, but we shouldn’t. These are some red flags (signs that you should leave the relationship as it will almost always end up toxic).

Married for 8 years, and she was ready to spice things up. Her sex life was lacking something. Even though her husband was an amazing lover, and knew how to pleasure her and touch her in ways no one else ever could. She wanted more. She craved more. Little did she know, a sexy email was about to change everything.

I live a female-led relationship (FLR) with my husband. This means we have a marriage where we have agreed that I have the authority; I am the head of the household. The final decisions are mine and my leadership extends to every aspect of our marriage. Note, I say we have agreed. I may be the boss, but this was a joint decision.
