Soo I’m just curious, do any other couples here who’ve been together for 10+ yrs go weeks without having sex? My husband and I are in our early 30s, we have 2 kids, and we both work very physically and mentally demanding full time jobs. Needless to say, we’re both exhausted and we have to literally schedule in our s...

Hey, I'm looking for new friends to talk too, anyone from UK?🥰
First I thought maybe all my partners were just out of drums since there have been no updates all day, But then I hit a vault milestone and it didn't let me actually open it. Maybe my partner hit the milestone first and it wasn't syncing. Stressful!
