Your editor's note is spot on! You're a much better partner when you focus on exploring your own interests and keeping a healthy social life outside of your boyfriend/husband. Balance is important.
"Dump him," says the woman who spends a lot of her sub talking about having a fiancé, doing things with her fiancé, and marriage plans. Yeah, girls, dump him and spend more time reading Jess's substack and buying from her affiliate links.
Oh, I read it, while doing my nails. Exactly what I said, she crows on about HER boyfriend, and how she won't be dumping HIM, but that her readers should know that their beaus or crushes should not be the primary focus of their lives. Focus on themselves and spend some more money on their thousandth pair of loafers. Mammon rules supreme.
I got married late to someone older and so many of my pals who married young dumped their husbands and are much happier for it. I think your generation has that part of things better than ours did; many of us had our whole identities wrapped up in their marriage/husbands. I don’t but definitely largely did for the first decade of our marriage.
GROWN UP ROMANCE!! As someone who’s been married for 8+ years- that hit.
And herein lies the secret to a loving and successful partnership.
THIS!! Such a well written assessment of what’s going on. Thank you.
EXACTLY, create a life that it worth living on your own – and if you feel like it, gift yourself on Valentine's!

Tell me you missed the point without telling me you missed the point.
Doubled down on point-missing!

rage bait for the wrong side of substack

I had to clickbait 'em
Worked like a charm on me
I am sure you won't be the only one. I await the angry comments from the people who don't read the body copy hahaha
They give themselves away, with an assist from a keyboard.
