One of the glorious things about being a person in the world is that you don't have to worry about whether or not someone else is trying to be creepy.

If and when you do decide to share your experience with your husband, it should be because you feel ready to do so, not for any other reason.

An adult woman should not be so possessive of her own birthday that she begrudges her friends the chance to get married on the same day.

It should go without saying that you are not doing anything wrong by having sex in your own home, and based on the care you've taken to keep things relatively quiet it's unlikely that you're violating any city noise ordinances.

I'm of the belief that dating "potential" is almost always an exercise in frustration.

o one is right when it comes to destination weddings. It’s a big ask, requesting people take time off work and fly off to take a cruise just to see you get married, and they’re perfectly justified in saying no if they don’t have the time, the money, or simply the inclination.

I think that it's a great idea to have honest conversations about children before getting married. I also think it's impossible to promise someone, "What I want right now will never change, and as long as I promise you I do - or don't - want a child - or a specific number of children - before we get married, we will never have to experience fear, anxiety, uncertainty, or the pain of not getting what we want, when we want it.
