I Barely Let My Husband Touch Me In Private For Years… Then One Day, He Refused To Pretend Any Longer What does it mean when you can hold your husband in front of thousands of strangers — but flinch the moment he reaches for you in your own kitchen? And when does a marriage stop being a marriage and become just… a brand? Yvonne, 46, and her husband Declan built one of Canada's most-followed food and lifestyle channels on the warmth of a loving couple cooking together. The problem was, one of them had stopped feeling it. For years, Yvonne knew how to be Declan's wife on camera. She just didn't know how to be his wife when the lens cap went back on.
