Relationships

Before I sacrificed time for you, your mother gladly sacrificed her body. Before I consoled you when you were upset, your mother consoled you with just the beat of her heart.

"I receive weekly emails from women who are so frustrated by their relationships with their mothers-in-law. All they want is to feel loved and appreciated by them, yet they feel judged and torn down."

"You deserve someone who is obsessed with you. Not in a creepy/stalker Fatal Attraction-ish way, but in an “I can’t get enough of you” and miss you as soon as you’re gone way."

"I’ve heard from your wife—she needs your attention. She tells me she’s lonely. She feels isolated and ignored. Her life is wrapped around children, work, and/or household chores. She used to feel in love with life, and in love with you, but now she feels worthless and uninteresting."

"Our romance dies. All the time. I mean sometimes our romance doesn’t just die, it’s tortured before a slow and painful death."

So if sexuality doesn’t define us, then the question becomes, “Who are we?”

"Do you hear me? I was ENOUGH. I was more than enough. But for the wrong man, It did not matter. You may be the rib, but a rib cannot fit comfortably in a body it was not designed for."

I want to stand up and scream, “You can’t keep that promise. It’s impossible!”
