Your Partner Is Not Your Brother
Your Partner Is Not Your Brother
(Is the romance in your relationship drying up?
Don’t get to comfortable.)
No no, we are not taking some weird plunge into people’s bizarre secrets of incest and bad dreams (Freud doesn’t work here); we are talking about never forgetting that your boyfriend, husband, whom ever, is your lover and not your brother, cousin or weird uncle. As the guys here at PBG start to be around more and more married or long term couples, we’ve noticed that many of them start dressing like slobs, farting more than kissing, and generally turning into complacent unromantic slouches.
Obviously this romance turned slob contest is typically more the guy’s fault, so please save your hate emails for another day. Everyone (women too) starts to get comfortable over time and tend to slip a nose pick, belch, or fart in every now and then. However, when people start wearing the nothing but warn out sweats, ripping farts at dinner and pooping in front of each other, the romance will take a nose dive into the depths of hell never to return. Think back to when you started dating, you didn’t crap his bathroom apart on the first date, wear a pair of worn out panties or complain about how heavy your flow was that month (check out our “Bathroom” article).
“No stained, worn out droors, grandma’s moo moo
or Saturday slob sweats.”
So what to do about all of this? First off, remember that you are an attractive sexual woman, so carry yourself as such. No stained, worn out droors, grandma’s moo moo or Saturday slob sweats. This is for you just as much as it is for him. The more you keep yourself feeling sexy and taken care of the better you will feel about yourself. Next, don’t let him be a slob either! If you give him an inch around farting in the bed, laying on the couch in his shitty boxers and belching every 20 minutes, he will take 10 miles. You can remind him that you are in a romantic relationship. You can tell him that you are a woman and expect to be treated with respect. Finally, work on keeping a healthy sexual relationship. Keep the sexual energy alive that you had in the beginning. Obviously most couples slow down in sex land as the relationship wears on, but it shouldn’t come to a halt. Capitalize on spontaneous moments, sneak a peak, cop a feel and find time for a quickie here and there.
Always with love. Stay empowered.
