Remember back at the beginning of your relationship when it was all new, fresh and exhilarating? When it was still excitingly awkward being naked around each other? Before you stopped waxing your bikini line? Before poo and periods were acceptable topics of conversation and before the first dreaded fart slipped out …
Rob and I have been together for a long time. We have ten hundred children together. We own a house together. We have debt together. We have responsibilities together. And we’re a team. He can’t do his job without me and I can’t do my job without him. So it’s …
