Hello friends, Happy Valentine’s Day and welcome to the very first edition of Gay Gourmet! This extension has been bubbling away in my brain for the last few months, and I am so excited to finally serve it up. I want to begin by unpacking my foundational approach to relationships. This week, I'll give you the overview of my personal relationship theory, and then next week, I'll give you some concrete ways to start implementing these skills into your own lives!

Some of these skills include:

• Resetting your expectations - because the perfect 'one' is a myth that holds us all back.

• Accepting your partner's (many) flaws - which is the secret to loving them for the long term

• Accepting your (many) flaws - because, like Mama Ru says, "if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"

• And the superpower that is communication - ie, how to get out of your own way and say what you need.

If any of that sounds interesting and you want to support Gay Gourmet as I help folks untangle the mess of relationship teachings we've been fed; please subscribe below! And if you're already a subscriber, thank you so much!

Now, let's jump in!
