My wife, Jen, is 34 years old and the mother of our kids. We live a very boring and routine life these days. But sometimes, after a few glasses of wine, she tells me stories about her life before we met. I’d like to share one of them with you.
Jen’s professional background is in art, and she previously worked in the NYC art gallery world. She comes from a conservative upbringing in the midwest, but this crowd was the total opposite. The art scene was sustained by party after party, and no expense was spared. Unlimited alcohol and party drugs were almost everywhere. People casually dated and broke up within the community all the time. As an example, my wife had slept with a total of 2 people by the end of college. During the 3 years she lived in New York, she slept with 15 more.
