When I was almost twenty one years old, my parents sat me down and told me something I never expected to hear.

I’m not in a healthy relationship with my husband. I’m not sure we’ve ever had one, even while dating before we got married. There is a lot of harbored resentment, emotional neglect, and weak connection. I’m not sure the last time I felt truly connected with him.
How does it feel being with a safe, loving partner?

Let me start with this: you are not a burden. You are not “too much.” And you don’t need to apologize for simply existing or for taking up space in this world. Yet, if you’re like so many of us, you’ve probably caught yourself apologizing for things that don’t even require an apology.

When I was eleven years old, I told my mom I was gay. I didn’t really understand the weight of what I was saying, I just knew that I had feelings for boys and thought I should be honest about it. I expected questions. Maybe even some awkward silence. What I got was a phone call—to our church.

I’m a 33 year old man with a friend from childhood. Let’s call her Rose. We met when we were around 13 and have stayed in each other’s lives, even if only from a distance. When we were about 15 or 16, we probably would have dated if the timing had worked out differently. There was always something between us.

Whenever people find out I attended Institut Le Rosey, the conversation almost always begins the same way. They want to know about the billionaires, the royalty, the celebrities, and the eye-watering tuition.
They ask whether private jets really landed nearby, whether everyone wore designer clothes, whether the stories they’ve heard online are actually true.
The answer to most of those questions is yes.
