Yes, and when I separated households from my husband in an effort to co-create a fresh new vision of marriage, my husband asked for no contact. This messaging is in the church and it ruins marriages. Praying for the restoration of my marriage and others like it. ๐
@thepursuinglife YES. Consent includes communication because you can't consent if you don't know what's going on with yourself and any partner(s). Nailed it

@diannaeanderson Respectfully, I would like to submit that my own experience is different. I grew up in an area where people use animal medicines to treat humans. Particularly animal antibiotics.

@antoniaterrazas Phone reminders set by location to go off when I'm near somewhere I need to pick up or drop off things. Meds at a small pharmacy that helps me manage my meds and offers delivery.
@antoniaterrazas I use alarms on my phone religiously that go off all day everyday for little things like eating and drinking water and going to the bathroom and taking med. Phone calendar reminders for appointments.
@corndogmcp @LShalott Wow! Came to say something similar. I basically just parroted whatever I thought people wanted to hear until literally last year when I finally picked something to pursue. (social work)
