Hello there, I rarely talk here about the fact that I live with ADHD in my life….not in myself directly, but my husband has it and we’ve been married for twenty-one years. My standard line is “I love him to pieces and he drives me nuts”!! If you are in this situation, you will probably …
There is nothing more important for the two of you than connection. It’s the vital ingredient that holds you in love and togetherness, even when the going gets tough.
It looks like we have at least another four weeks of lockdown coming up. Did we ever imagine that something like this could happen?! And yet, here we are… in it! Many of us with our partners, in closer proximity than we may want them to be. So… I don’t want you to miss my …
