In Laura Dave's "The First Husband," Annie Adams is a travel writer from Los Angeles with a workaholic director boyfriend, Nick, and a perfectly comfortable life. It looks great on the outside, even though she barely sees the man she lives with between her schedule and his.
10 things a husband shouldn't say. Do men want women to be flexible in bed? 6 stories of interrupted sex. The etiquette of oral. How to handle a boyish boyfriend. A Texan was lap danced to death. Earn money pretending to be a girlfriend. How close is your guy with his lady BFF... too close?
Think of a hot, successful date with someone you're attracted to. You have fun, great conversation and more sexual chemistry than a warehouse full of pheromones.

I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals and restaurant servers. Even if you aren’t an animal person, and honestly, I don’t think I am, there’s still a way to create creatures with respect and kindness. My husband and I had many early dinner dates, and I was always impressed with how he treated wait-staff.
