They were dictated by rules, regligion described how children should talk to their parents, who husbands talk to their wives and how wives didn't have to answer their husbands. Big decisions were made for us: who is the breadwinner, who has to wake up at night to feed the baby, who has the right to demand for sex. What you did was like your father did. But now we have created a world of option. We have to negotiate about everything: do I want a baby, are my needs being met, am I happy, am I happy enough. Conversations have become the hearth of our relationships. I don't have three easy steps to do. Not every problem has a solution. Some things are paradoxes that we need to manage.

We expect the same from one person that one village used to provide. An you don't solve this problem with Victor(ia')s secret.
