Well, first I went to a therapist. My therapist, I sat down with my therapist and told her the whole thing. I said, I think I'm in love with this woman. She had been with me through the marriage. I said, I cannot โ I cannot have sex with my husband again. Something about my body โ we hadn't even been in the same room together besides that. But I just couldn't do it. And she said โ
I understand what you're saying about not being able to have sex with him anymore. Have you considered just giving blowjobs? Because many women find that to be less intimate. My therapist said that to me. And Alex, that was the moment I was like, as God is my witness, I will never give a blowjob. I don't know much, but I freaking know that much.

Yes. Okay, yes. What did you say? I just said, I mean, we had been through so much. And this man is an amazing father. And we married each other because it was the right thing to do, not because we were right for each other. And we both knew that. And in retrospect, when I think about how we got married, I really railroaded it. Like I was scared. I was freshly sober. I was pregnant.
