Lass, I'm so happy for you. Speaking up and stating what you want from your partner is so VERY hard, isn't it?
And go you on the weight loss! That's great and you sound so healthy in body and spirit.
I think I should take some editing tips from you. As you know, I tend to say the first thing that pops into my head and sometimes it's the best way to phrase it, other times not so much.
