My wife said dates are important to her because it's time for us to bond outside of the kids. I'm a homebody. You think I'm arguing w/ her about how going out is overrated??? No, I'm getting my lil outfit together and finding places/events for us to enjoy w/ my introverted ass
One thing I still find shocking is how much self-regulating you have to do as an adult. Okay, you are going through stuff but somehow you have to process, deal with it, heal and carry on because life doesn’t pause.
