他其實(shí)沒(méi)那么喜歡你 第38期:貌合神離的感情

But I'm not that person. I'm the type of person wholooks at them and says, “Damn. That's what I want.”

但是我不是那樣的人。我是那種看著他們說(shuō)，“該死的，那就是我想要的。”那種人。

It's really a bitch. That means I have to be the typeof girl who is going to ask the guys the mortifyingquestions, and worse, who might break up with areally great guy if he just doesn't want to have sexwith me enough or at all.

這真的很糟糕。這意味著我必須是這種去問(wèn)人窘迫問(wèn)題類型的女孩，更糟的是，我可能會(huì)和一個(gè)非常棒的家伙分手，如果他只是根本不太想和我做愛(ài)而已。

But all I can say is that I suffer from the affliction of believing I can have a wonderful man loveme and be wildly attracted to me.

但我能說(shuō)的就是，我遭受的苦難讓我相信我會(huì)擁有一個(gè)愛(ài)我的好男人，認(rèn)為我非常有吸引力。

I also believe that when that wanes, as it naturally will, we can both make it a priority to try tostay wildly attracted to each other.

我也相信，當(dāng)它減弱的時(shí)候，我們自然會(huì)使它試圖保持互相吸引成為一個(gè)優(yōu)先級(jí)。

If you suffer from that affliction as well, you better pull the pillow out from under Mr.Sleepover and take away his cookies and milk.

如果你也正遭受著苦難，你最好把過(guò)夜男士的枕頭抽走，拿走他的餅干和牛奶。

We deserve more than a slumber party.

我們不是一個(gè)陪睡。

This is What It Should Look Like, by Greg

這就是事情本該的樣子，格雷格

Don't ask me how I know, because I don't want to tell you, but I can assure you that myparents, who are in their seventies, after children, illnesses, aging, stressful jobs, and dailyannoyances (read: life) , are still having sex.

別問(wèn)我怎么知道的，因?yàn)槲也幌敫嬖V你，但是我向你保證，我年逾70的父母，在經(jīng)歷了生兒育女、病痛侵襲、年紀(jì)增長(zhǎng)、工作壓力和日常煩惱(讀作：生活)后，依舊有性生活。

If my parents can do it, so can you and your boyfriend.

如果我的父母能做，那你的男朋友也能。

但是我接著意識(shí)到，格雷格，第三個(gè)月過(guò)后，他變得跟我只是貌合神離。

我鼓起勇氣問(wèn)他這是否會(huì)繼續(xù)下去，然后他開始語(yǔ)無(wú)倫次的抽噎著說(shuō)戀愛(ài)的恐懼等等。
