Erica, I am so glad I read this. I hear you. I get this. I was nodding along throughout. "Questions to connections" resonates! This is just wonderful and you write beautifully. Thank you.

I like how your husband recognizes the need to share something personal. Intimacy and connetion is a 2 way street. If we expect and want someone to open up to us, we need to open up to them. A sort of vulnerability exchange.

Thank you :-)
