well, I probably "expect" sex more than he does, but I'm greedy and a bit self-centered at times, while he's not.

this makes me laugh now. At not-quite 20, I would have been even more devastated.

Yeah . . . I'm all for people figuring out what works for them, and open works for some people, monogamy works for others.

just my twenties?

I am going to restrain myself from making some kind of Howard Hughes, peeing-in-a-jar and saving fingernails joke.

Even "Fleek! A mouse!"?

my partner and I have a few chores that aren't "owned" by any one person, and I'll admit, the phrase, "I'll give you a beej if you mow the lawn" has crossed my lips more than once.

I once had a traumatic exchange with a Sarah Lawrence girl (or rather, she dissed me), who I met at a party of a mutual friend in the Village.

He jokes that his wife is a lot like me (she is), and that he was refining his taste with me, first.

this is lovely.

I'm probably freakish, but I am friends with several exes and close with two old boyfriends' wives, who are great people and have the good sense to like me, too:)

this may be the best parsing of such a phenomenon I've read all day or ever.

congrats. this story kind of made me choke up a little bit:) It's lovely that you found someone who made you want to be your best self.
