I let it <em data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"763\">all<\/em> go. At first, he didn\u2019t notice. But after a few weeks\u2014and a very awkward dinner with his friends\u2014he did.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"1087\">\u201cYou\u2019ve stopped taking care of yourself,\u201d he finally said. I reminded him he didn\u2019t want me spending so much time in the bathroom. He looked stunned as I detailed what that time actually involved\u2014and how much it cost.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1209\">That\u2019s when I proposed a deal: I\u2019d go back to my routine, but he\u2019d pay half the costs.

He brings me coffee while I get ready and even books me spa days.
