Love Question 41

by

Time once again for a question from my musings…

This week I came up with a blank for a while in regards to what I wanted to ask for this week’s Love Question. But, as what usually happens, I began pondering what I was pondering?

Still with me?

I began thinking about questions and possible subjects. Then I got to wondering about questions and certain subjects between lovers. I consider my marriage pretty well and truly open. There isn’t much we won’t talk about. There are, however, one or two touchy subjects that we just avoid talking about. We’ll talk about them if there is a direct need, but we’re far past bringing up those topics in casual conversation.

You’re wondering what those topics are now, aren’t you? Haha. Well, one thing we have found that we have trouble talking about (as many misunderstandings strewn about as specks of glitter on a child’s craft table) is my weight. It seemed that no matter how we worded things, the conversation would just go wrong.

And so we leave it alone. I’m working on my health and he’s cheering me from the sidelines rather than taking a more direct coaching roll.

So I’m wondering…

Love Question 41:

Are there any ‘no go’/'don’t go there’ subjects between you and your spouse?

    I would answer this on my blog but apparently BLogger is being stupid today.

    Anywho, I don’t think there is anything off limits. We are pretty open and honest with each other-he can be terribly honest.

    In the first year or so of being married there was a point with sex where we were just not meshing. After some terrible nights and tears, we finally brought it into the open. I thought he wasn’t in to me, that I was doing something, etc etc. In the end, it ended up being after effects of past drug use on his libido. Once we were able to bring it into the light, we could work on it. And it’s not a problem. I don’t take it personally and he works hard on changing some things.

    I’ve heard blogger is being dumb lately.

    I’ve found that it’s usually better to at least try to get it out in the open and talk about things. Especially if they’re a continued issue. It was only after dozens of conversations that ended badly that Mr. JM and I started talking about certain things less often.
