The universe has good news for the lost, lonely and heartsick.
The sugars are here, speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Steve Almond.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
This is dear sugars.
Oh, dear song, won't you please share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell eyes every day oh, in the sugar you see in my way.
Hi, Steve.
Hi, Cheryl.
Hi, Esther.
Yes, hi.
Welcome to part two of our mini series on sexless relationships.
Those of you listeners who tuned in last week heard Esther Perel talking with us, answering a letter about a sexless relationship.
And we're going to continue that conversation now.
Let's listen to this next letter that Steve's going to read about a similar situation with some differences written by a man.
Yeah, in fact, we wanted to read it to you specifically.
Stare, because we know that your work on intimacy directly arises from your work on trauma.
Yes, correct.
Dear sugars, my wife and I have been married for over ten years.
