“I was raised in a home where my mother told me before my wedding day, “Never say no to your husband.” I was horrified when she said it to me 32 years ago and I have carried the guilt and burden of that statement for many years. I could not take the pressure and coupled with a severe depression I despaired that anyone would understand or validate how I was truly feeling. Hearing this episode brought me hope. I appreciated hearing men discuss their experiences, while accepting and owning their responsibility in their own development, was incredibly refreshing. I am not my husbands mother. He is not my father. As soon as we fall into those expectations, all desire evaporates. I cannot fake it any more. Thank you for bravely tackling this sensitive subject. Women’s health has been kept out of the acceptable realms of conversation. Making it taboo or shameful. I forwarded this episode to several people today. Thank you for being transparent and relatable.”
