In our opening chatter we talk about what's been happening since we last recorded. What’s on Our Timeline? This week's timeline discussion is a recent post on X from @realpg111 saying if a guy treats her like a princess he gets the Cat as a prize. Her post resurfaced a post on our timeline a year ago from @AjeboDanny who then posed the question, do women have anything else to offer when a man does something she likes? Giving up the Cat as a reward? Some men are looking for a different show of appreciation today. Let’s Talk Through It One of our friend’s husband is rationing the D and only giving it out as a reward for things she does. One of our other friends has been married for 20 years to her college sweetheart and has been a stay at home mom. Their 5 girls are grown and away at college and she is bored staying at home and would like to contribute more to the relationship than just pleasing her husband.
