Lust is nice but it’s the little kindnesses that keep couples together
I have been married three times, and I would like to think that makes me equipped to tell the difference between love and lust. Most of us realise we are in love in the most unromantic of situations. For me, it was when I was heavily pregnant, had severe vertigo and had just vomited in the doctor’s surgery.
“I’ve wet myself,” I announced a few minutes later, mortified and weeping in the passenger seat of my husband’s prized black VW Golf, convinced he was ready to jump ship.
