Sex drive incompatibility
Hi Em and Michael, my partner and I have been together 12 years and have two kids aged 4 and 6. Since having kids my sex drive has reduced to the point of being non existent. It’s at the point now where i have no interest in sex at all and I’m completely fine to never do it again if I’m being totally honest. The problem is that my husband has a high drive and would honestly want it everyday if he could. It’s causing so many issues between us. He feels like he’s constantly begging for it and I feel like there’s so much pressure on it all the time. I love my husband, he’s a great partner and father and I don’t want this to be the thing that ends our relationship but how do we resolve such significant incompatibility?
Newsreader Quick Questions
Heya Michael, I just rewatched Newsreader! You are an absolute legend at writing and the casting was top notch! I loved the quiet power of the secretary and Dale's struggle and the lies he tells himself to cope with his internal struggle. I used to say the same things as a kid and young teen. Now I am gratuitously GAI! *hi gay* so no fear and shame on this end. Ok, now I will stop gushing and ask my questions. In the Haley's comet episode, did you write the song the kids sang or was it actually sung back in the day? Who's idea was it to dress a reporter in Khaki and a pith Helmet while they were in Darwin? Was this just a bit of camp or did someone actually dress like this during Lindy's release? When Dale's Mum visits the studio, how did they make the desk dusty? Where was it filmed and who built the set? You said after the broadcast of the first series you felt like crawling up on the couch and crying. If you are willing to share, what personal stories did you draw on to write Dale? Will the gay camera man comeback? He was cute. Stay GAI!! the both of you! love Russell
Gay best friend dynamic or something else?
Hi Em and Michael, This is a bit of a doozy, sorry for the rambling about to ensue. I dated this guy, let’s call him Calvin, at the end of school/start of uni. My first love. Eventually we broke up (with a bang - didn’t speak for a year) then rekindled a friendship due to mutual friends. We’ve been wonderful friends ever since (16 years). During this time, Calvin has seen me get married, have a baby, and has been a really important figure in my life. Friends had commented how close we are, even my (unbothered) husband commenting that we “have a secret language”. About 5 years ago, Calvin was seeing a man, and they were together until about 12 months ago. This is the first man Calvin had dated and he has used the term “gay” to describe himself in the past. It’s been great having him “come out” as we’re closer than ever now that he’s more accepting of himself. Issue is… with this closeness, there’s an intimacy that leaves me wondering if there’s more to it. I’m unsure if I’m reading into things but there’s been times that have left me wondering if Calvin is flirting with me. He’s very attentive and complimentary, the eye contact can be a bit intense, but protective and can be territorial. I guess I’m wondering what the difference is between the dynamic of straight woman/gay man closeness, and genuine attraction. How can I tell? I would never want to ruin what we have, I guess being clear on what’s what would help. Sorry, not only a doozy but also a bit vague. Thanks! Fan of the show since day one. Your pal, Alex. (Or, anonymous).
Onesie question
Hi Question for Em I asked this on the fb page and I want you to know I always intended to join extra (I didn’t join just to ask this question) What did you do with your onesie in NY? Did you roll it down so it didn’t go on floor or did you take it off completely. I’ve worn a onesie previously to a festival not thinking of the portaloos situation so with your white onesie situation I was thinking what would Em do? Enjoy Palm Springs
