The previous snippets of Bad Sex Karma were from the anniversary dinner where Delia was expecting a marriage proposal, but instead she got dumped by her boyfriend.
In this part, Delia is commiserating with her best friends Carly and Brooke the next morning, explaining how her anniversary had started out with her first-ever bad sex and went downhill from there:
They knew Bradley and I had had five years of wild, passionate, insanely gratifying sex. The kind of sex that makes you think it can only get better with every repetition. The kind that makes you feel bad for all the people in the world who weren’t you.
"Okay, to be perfectly honest, the past year or so there wasn’t really any sex," I admitted. "Remember my last physical? When the doctor asked, 'What do you use for birth control?', I actually said, 'Exhaustion'."
It's so much fun reading your comments each week, and I truly enjoy reading all the Six Sentence Sunday posts. Happy Sunday!

What a fab six! You have made Delia so likable and human that of course I'm cheering for her to find an HEA. And as always, your touches of humor are perfectly placed.
