I had to get the kids home in time for dinner. Well, in time to make dinner. But they had their music lessons, so I did the shopping for some food we needed while I waited. I arrived about the time they were usually finishing up. One girl was still going. No problem. I satContinue reading ““Shut-up!” And other heart-felt phrases.”

Overcoming the Two Sources of Conflict in Relationships
This morning I initiated love-making with Tim. It was quick and easy for both of us, which was lovely. He said to me afterwards, as he often does, “I love you”. Sweet, right? Not to me!
