Gosh what a real mix. Some completely heartbreaking, others beautiful. Just shows, we really don't know what's going on behind closed doors even with those closest to us. Just a little kindness goes a long way. I started this with describing my relationship as comfortable, lacklustre and boring. It prompted me to have a long and Frank conversation with my husband and I hope it's opened some doors for us to improve things. We've both agreed we love each other and want to make things better. I hope even one other person benefits from this thread.

Great to hear. Such an insightful, thought provoking thread, thanks for starting it

prosaic beats poetry

(I was gonna write "yes dear" but that's only two words"
