Yes to all of this! I enjoy our marriage and love my husband best when I don't need him and when I explore the parts of myself and people and the world the way I would if he wasn't there.

“Sorry husband but not today” Or “Nah, that doesn't interest me, but have a great time with your friends!” these quotes might sound selfish but my husband gets it! Sometimes we need a break from each other and that's ok...I think it is ok to spend some quality time with others than just your husband...” one person shouldn't be your everything” yes to this! The world is full of wonderful people waiting to be part of our lives.
As an immigrant, throughout the years, I have met a few people who I now call my family - “we don’t have to share a last name, bank account, or bed to experience the unparalleled value of community.” Great article.

You "get" it. Thank you. Solidarity, sister.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment a reflection from your personal experience, Ruth! I'm glad this resonated with you. :)
Oof, the most morbid thing you ever said was exactly what I needed to hear!
This put a smile on my face. I'm so glad to hear it.
great word :)
Thanks, honey! I love you.
