I’m often surprised (but shouldn’t be) at the lack of communication and level of avoidance couples have. I get that honest and open conversations can be challenging and even painful, but it’s truly intimate and liberating to be in a relationship that is transparent, open, and honest. I hope the two of you really talk to each other — and continue to talk to each other — about what you want, what your agreements are, what you want to share or not, etc.
