Lexi, darling, you asked the question of those of us who are successful with our spouses. I answered with my experience and many others in my position agreed with me. If it’s of any interest to you I discussed this post in depth with my gender psychologist, and she was very much in agreement with my position.

If you’re genuinely looking for answers I suggest you reread some of the advice you’ve been given with an open mind. If you’re just looking to argue, I’m not interested on this one. Too deeply personal.
