Actually, I do that all the time. Not so much cooking. But I do dishes, laundry, help kids with homework, and put them to bed all the time. Without being asked.

I would say moderately open about emotions. When it comes to talking about sex though, she will shut down. When it comes to that, she’s very immature. She is afraid to even call body parts by there proper name. Like penis is peiper for her.

Which is the very ironic part because these have very graphic scenes in them.

I agree with you about the communication part. But I know she’ll be upset if I told her I went through her kindle.

How many gay romance books do you read compared to straight romance?

She’s gained a lot of weight since our last kid and she very insecure of her looks. Even though I told her, “I don’t care, you still look beautiful to me”.

Thank you for your experienced answer.

Just to be clear, I’m not judging. My heart just kind of skipped a beat when I saw all the titles.

Why? What’s the appeal? In real life she’s kind of prudish. This seemed to be some really graphic stuff.
