Thank you so much for your review of the book, I really welcome honest feedback and you make some really great points.

There are definitely areas I could have elaborated on further. With regards to what Rod and I eat, I have to say that as time goes on it really is getting more and more further apart i.e. he eats quite a lot of convenience or junk foods and i’m tending to drink most of my meals. We both eat at very different times now as well.

There’s certainly a lot to be said for sitting down and bonding with your partner over food. I think because we don’t tend to do this it creates more pressure to make sure we have quality time in other ways. It’s rare for us to eat together once a week these days and that is quite sad.

I’d say that time definitely helps to overcome the initial resistance to whatever lifestyle change your partner has adopted, and I hope that nobody else finds themselves in the situation we did where neither of our opinions or views were acceptable to the other person.

Now, we are lucky that Rod mostly laughs off the weird and wonderful ideas I come up with – humour definitely helps.

It’s sad you haven’t got other people nearby. I am really lucky to live in quite a growing and awesome raw community here and hopefully the increase in the number of people choosing this lifestyle will help open up relationships with others.

Thanks again for your feedback. Perhaps I’ll release a second version and add more in to fill in the blanks.

Best wishes,

Emma
