The Relationship Workbook

A set of plot-driven short stories about consent, contraception conversations, and emotional safety.

2026
Story series

Synopsis

The Relationship Workbook turns difficult everyday intimacy questions into short plots: how to talk about contraception, how to handle mismatched expectations, how to repair after conflict, and how to admit you are not ready.

Each story feels like one exercise page, but there is no perfect answer. Characters make mistakes and learn what responsibility looks like.

Themes

  • Contraception is not one person’s job
  • Refusal can still be met with tenderness
  • Emotional safety matters more than proving love
  • Relationship rules need shared updates

This adult series centers communication and growth, without romanticizing pressure, humiliation, or boundary crossing.
