I think people could reasonably assume I sent this in except mine’s not really a secret anymore.
Exploring fantasies and expanding your horizons together as a couple=cool.
Doing something because you’ve been forced, pressured, manipulated, or out of a warped idea of submission or needing to please a partner=not cool.
Why does that have to be so [...]

“Forgive and forget!” you hear all the time. As a Christian, it’s easy: you just pray it away! Except it’s not so easy. It’s not easy for a non-Christian, either. You hear how important it is for your mental health, but how do you do it?
