“Remind Yourselves That You’re on the Same Team Remember that it’s the two of you against the problem, not against each other. You’re a team, tackling shame, crappy socialization, gender norms, defensiveness, and all the other monsters that hide under the bed. Remind each other of that during the repair process. Sometimes simply saying, “Can we be on the same team?” can help you feel closer again.”

“You’re allowed to have boundaries against things that don’t sound sexy or safe to you, or that go against your values. But be on the lookout for boundaries that are the result of internalized shame rather than authentic guidelines.”

“We’re led to believe that sex drive is an indicator that we have good chemistry with someone, and that we should leave a relationship if it’s not there initially or it starts to sputter later on. We’re taught that we’re supposed to feel desire naturally and spontaneously, and that we shouldn’t need to do anything to feel desire. And it often feels that way at the beginning of a relationship, so we never wind up talking about what turns us on.”
