I used to do this for my girlfriend over the phone when she couldn’t sleep. It started as reading short stories to her but eventually I realized it was much less about the stories I was reading and more about hearing me speak so I started reading my physics textbook or history I was interested in. Honestly I learned a lot, can’t thank her enough. Made me a better speaker as well
She never made it through a short story before passing out anyway lol
You reminded me of some very similar good memories with my ex. For us, I think it started with Physics books and then moved towards fiction!
You sound amazing and that is so sweet and thoughtful. I am happy that people like you are around. Take care, OP, and thanks :)
I’m not crying you’re crying
My wife read to me when we were going to sleep. We both enjoyed it, but she’d get more energized and excited about the story as she read while I’d slowly fall asleep. Opposite effects.
She was only annoyed that she’d sometimes say “are you awake?” and I’d answer yes, so she’d keep reading. But I was absolutely asleep.
10/10 recommend couples reading to each other.
