For the first time, she became vividly aware of how much of her life she had spent with her husband. It had been a period of time utterly devoid of happiness and spontaneity.

About This Quote
First time is not always the best time. There are times when the first time you act on certain things, you get rejected. Many people think that the first time they do something that it's good, but in most cases, it's not. It is also true that when you are in relationship with someone, the feeling of being rejected will hurt your pride. This will make you more clingy, which will make your partner feel bad about him or herself for being rejected by you.
