Episode 27: Asking for What You Want

Who else has ever wanted to tell your husband/wife/partner to fuck all the way off? I doubt I’m the only one. Maybe it's the year of our Lord 2024, truly the year of the woman. Maybe it's retirement. Too much time together. But I don’t think so. 

I think it has more to do with naive, rose-colored expectations of what a marriage would look like. 

Did anyone else grow up under the impression that love was liking all of the same things and doing everything together? Granted, you could be bored out of your ever-lovin’ mind (of course we pushed that down), but if you went everywhere and did everything together, that meant you were in love.

Why has it taken me 30+ years of marriage to remember that I can ask for what I want? And I'll probably get it!
