About This Author

Contact Me

I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Consent

Talk Tuesday! Define "consent".

To consent is to give your permission or approval ~ to comply or agree to something.

I wholeheartedly give my consent to R to take me out to dinner tonight!

See what I did there? Now I just need to decide if I really want Red Lobster, or if we should hit Olive Garden for dinner. Usually we go to Red Lobster on my birthday, and those awesome biscuits do sound delicious right about now. Even at 7 in the morning I can just taste them already.

Okay, back to the prompt! Consent is an awesome thing that lets others know we are in for whatever is going on. Consenting to marriage, or giving someone your phone number, address, etc. It's an expression of free will. We are free to decide what it is we want to do, and what we don't. The problem becomes when we are not clear about our consent. I'm big on this. I really don't want to do certain things, and instead of coming out and saying it, I hem and haw and R takes that as consent because I didn't outright say no.

I know. I know I really should say no more often and not give my consent. Ah that damn people pleaser in me. What can I say? I'm blaming the Pisces in me again.
