Why do I remember him in technicolour but live my life in black and white?
only women are called nymphomaniacs, men are called satyriasists.”
“Girls, have I taught you nothing. Ask for what you want. Men are stupid. They will do what we ask.”
infidelity is the path of a coward. Staying loyal to one person is hard work,
“Demand it. People in life treat you how you believe you deserve to be treated. If you think you don’t deserve to be satisfied in bed then you won’t be. If you believe your husband can do better than you, then he will think he can too.
you only can make changes in your life.
I knew to save his future I had to hurt him and rip my heart out in the process,
Why do the memories of this man haunt me…..how do I escape him?
Joshua and I share more than a history, we share blood. We are first cousins. His father and my mother are brother and sister, so when I tell you I can’t have this man, I truly mean it.
He told me he had found someone who loved him for no reason, and that gave him a reason to want to love her back”
Soul mates don’t finally meet somewhere at a certain place at a certain time, they’re in each other, all along.”
“And to my soul mate,” he raises his glass, “who has been with me all along, but is absent from my side.”
“That went well,” Abbie smiles. “Isn’t it a shame he can talk— he’s so pretty with his mouth closed.” We all burst out laughing. “Seriously Abbs, I love you” I smile.
“Someone who fucks like a slut, with the morals of a nun.” I choke on my tea. Of all the things I thought he would say, that was definitely not it. I feel a familiar frisson of uneasiness creeping up on me.
“I couldn’t be with a mousy woman who doesn’t love to fuck as much as I do. I have an insatiable appetite for sex,” he licks his lips. “High maintenance so to speak.”
“Why would I want to watch other women take their clothes off? When you’re the only woman I see.”
Our relationship is complicated. My darkest fear is that we are not going to make it. But I owe it to myself to try. I could never move on knowing I didn’t give it my best shot. I just wish we didn’t have so many things against us; it’s exhausting.
“I know you saved your body for me, but you must know I saved my heart for you. I love you more than anything.”
Without trust you have nothing,
I had an affair and Joshua is another man’s child.
“There is a certain level of comfort when you realise it’s not the packaging you want in someone.”
when I leave here in the morning I am not coming back for a week and you have a hall pass to sleep with one man.”
I can’t imagine the pain of sleeping with someone different and living with that guilt forever. Of losing the one that you really do love for a lifetime in the name of fifteen minutes of sex.
I am completely in love with you I completely trust you But can you keep me safe?
“Fatherhood is not semen… or sex. I think it is raising a son who is a good person, a son I love.”
Nobody is a bad person. You can make bad decisions but that doesn’t mean you are bad.”
One thing this whole nightmare has taught me is that life’s too short to hold grudges about what was or wasn’t told to you. Things that happen in the past should stay in the past. Suffering or making other people suffer does not make you happy.
I know your wedding night is supposed to be sweet and romantic, but I don’t want a bar of that. I want my wedding night to be downright dirty and memorable.
It’s okay to be a slightly damaged version of yourselves.”
“It’s okay to be imperfect. It’s okay to have down days and bad memories.”
This isn’t childbirth of natural free love and all that glow. This is an exorcism of The Devil, where he is ripping himself out of my body.
