I'm beginning to think this happens to everyone who plays together as a couple at some point - that it's a lifestyle hurdle of sorts. How do we stay on the same page? Chances are you can both look at the evening, figure out where things began to go haywire, and determine how to avoid the situation in the future.

For whatever else it's worth, it sounds like you handled yourself well. You maintained your boundaries, without drama, and played the best hand with the cards you were dealt. You also seem to be open to figuring out how to get a better draw next time around, rather than throwing in the towel.

Thanks for posting.
Thanks for responding! That is a very encouraging post. We ceratinly have learned alot from this one encounter and like you said, we have seen where everything started to get shakey. We have also talked about how to make plenty of opportunities for us to stay in communication and make sure that we are both cool with what is going on. If one is not down with the situation, then the other isn't either.
The mrs. always stays cool as a cucumber. Her head is pretty much always on straight and never makes a scene. One of the many, MANY things that i love and adore about her. We have also discussed our screening process and have decided to expand on a couple things to help weed out potential nut cases.
The best thing is that we handled this together and have listened to each others points of view and are taking the precautions so it doesn't happen again.
