The Lies That Keep Us in Marriages We Know We Shouldn’t Still Be In (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the last few years, I’ve been conducting an ongoing little experiment. Whenever I meet women around my age (and sometimes men) who are still married, whether it’s at a party, at the gym, or even during a casual business lunch where the conversation starts flowing, I always ask how long they’ve been married.Fifteen years. Twenty. Twenty-two. Twenty-five.“Wow,” I’ll say. “That’s amazing. It’s so hard to find people who have been married that long who are still happy. Congratulations.”And almo
The Readers I Didn’t Expect: Men (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I started writing for women. Period. For all the women feeling stuck in unfulfilling marriages or navigating the new world of dating post-divorce, I hoped my story of accidental transformation and sexual reinvention could show them what was possible. Any thought that men might read my work never even crossed my mind.Until they did. In fact, out of my whopping three paid subscribers, two are men, out of almost 300 total subscribers, I think close to 100 are men. And my DM’s? Majority are from men
The Making of a New Life - Part 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new house afforded us the space to live out our new reality. We were co-parents living under the same roof, sharing responsibilities with the kids, and showing up as a family for soccer games, movies, beach days, weekend breakfasts and all the things we always did together.

On nights we saw other people, it was a very simple “I’m going out for a drink tonight,” and we both understood what that meant. The kids wer

Read excerpt
For two years after I told my husband he was free to get his needs met outside the marriage, we carried on quite well. He never told me anything, I never asked. I truly didn’t care. All I knew was that we’d created a happier home, and we did it by choosing a nontraditional path. We still shared a room and a bed, and we just slept. I didn’t avoid bedtime anymore and the feeling of dread was gone. And it worked for us for those two years… But the unraveling started when my husband came face to fac
The Making of a New Life - Part I (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I never thought I would get a divorce. I grew up with a very clear message that unless there was abuse, addiction or infidelity, you stick it out. You make it work. This is what marriage was all about: it’s a give and take, there are good days and bad days, for better or worse…the list goes on. And when you’re married to a good person, well, then you won the lottery. Be grateful, don’t complain, and carry on. So that was my worldview of marriage. Once you pick, you pick…and then you deal. When I
