A TikToker who previously dated men exclusively says her life has been transformed by her first relationship with a woman. The creator, who posts as @brianaksmith, explains that entering this relationship at 32 has completely shifted her perspective on how to communicate with a partner.
The creator notes that she simply cannot hide small changes in her mood or energy around her girlfriend. If she has a shift in energy, her partner immediately picks up on it and asks what is wrong. Even a small facial expression or a sarcastic comment is enough to kick off a conversation. She says this experience has taught her that she can no longer stay silent when something is bothering her.
