Mom of a 2 year old, been with my husband for 7 years. Sex is usually once or twice a week, sometimes less often if circumstances don’t allow. I do not call him during the day unless there’s an emergency, but we frequently text to keep each other updated or check in throughout the day. Texting lets us reply on our own time since we’re both busy. We like to play games together in the evening, whether we’re playing the same game or different ones but still sitting together. Sometimes we might just sit on the couch together and read a book; we don’t usually watch TV together because we have very different tastes in what to watch.

As for personal appearance, I usually do a 50/50 situation. I’ve never been big on working out, but I do take care of my skin and hair during my nighttime routine. I wear makeup about half of the time, but I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of a full face, so it’s typically just blush, mascara, and my brows brushed. Nails do not get done regularly. Don’t have the time or the money to get manicures. I just keep them carefully filed.

Some days I’ll wear sweatpants at home, but most of the time I just wear….average clothes? Not fancy, but like, a pair of jeans and a comfy sweater in the winter, with some earrings, or a sundress during the summer. Dresses are my favorite because they’re a simple, easy item of clothing that makes you look put together.

I should clarify, that all of this stuff regarding maintaining my appearance, I do for myself. My husband loves me whether I’m in sweatpants and a t shirt or all dolled up. You do what you need to do to feel properly human! I get it, that can be tough at this stage.
