"I was drowning in a maelstrom of emotions."
| | Sometimes it can feel like showing your partner you love them is incredibly expensive — holiday and birthday gifts, little getaways, flowers “just because.” But that doesn’t have to be the case; for many of our readers, it’s the little things their S.Os do on a daily basis that make them feel all warm and fuzzy. They text sweet things throughout the day, give foot rubs, or leave little notes around the house.
For me, I feel loved and cared for when my husband handles car-related issues and gives me massages; he might say it’s when I cook dinner and make sure he’s happy and fed. If you’re coupled up, how does your partner show you that they care?

| | | | | | | | On the other end of the spectrum, we asked women what it feels like to be in sexless relationships. If both partners are OK with the lack of sex, dry spells may not pose a problem. But for those who want to be intimate, their partner’s reluctance can put a serious strain on the relationship. The people that senior reporter Kelsey Borresen interviewed reported feeling angry, lonely, worthless and unattractive. “My biggest fear — that I am not good enough as a woman and as a wife — permeated almost every thought and preoccupied me day and night,” one woman said. |

| | | | | | | On Nov. 2, groom Jimmy Gisondi recited wedding vows to his new wife, Kelsea — and then did the same to his new stepdaughter, Olivia. “Olivia, from this day forward, I promise to remind you every day how truly loved you are,” he said. “I promise to teach, guide and respect you for the rest of our days. I promise to never treat you [like] anything less than my own child. I’m very happy to say that you’re my daughter. From this day forward, you will truly be my daughter and the other love of my life.” |
