Grateful I can flirt with my husband via /r/gratitude

For a long time, flirting didn’t feel fun or safe for me. In my past relationship, anytime I tried to playfully flirt — turning something ordinary into something cheeky or suggestive — it would get taken the wrong way. What I meant as a joke or a moment of connection would lead to frustration or misunderstanding. It made me feel like I had to shut that side of myself down.

Now, I get to have fun with my husband, and he actually enjoys it. He doesn’t take it too seriously or expect anything in return — he just laughs with me and plays along. I’m grateful I can be silly and a little spicy again. It makes me feel youthful, lighthearted, and so much more connected. 💗
