Musings on our body or “wife wieght”
My husband and I were out the other day and my weight came up. It has been for quite some time. Not by him, by me. I have gained 24lbs since falling in love with him. I jokingly say that it’s all his fault. While that’s not true (entirely, lol) coming to the realization that after almost 4 years, I am over twenty pounds heavier, didn’t sit well. It made me feel disappointed. I haven’t been as active since we met, and that sunk in heavily the other day.

Alternatives to arguing
People ask us all the time how we handle arguing. We really don’t. (Yes, there are couples out here.) Trust me, we disagree. Instead of arguing, we go silent on each other or go off on our own.

Signs the guy your dating is still in love with his ex
I don’t know what it is, but I always seem to attract the man who is still in love with his ex, which greatly affects his ability to connect with me.

Learning to like your husband again
Last year my marital problems were at its height. I really disliked my husband, the conversations he would try to have with me. The way he showed me affection. His expectations of me. I felt like nothing I did was enough and that he didn’t “GET” me.
My husband was hyper focused on the not so great parts of our marriage and said, on more than one occasion, that this wasn’t what marriage should be. Complained that there wasn’t enough intimacy, quality time, or communication.
