I couldn't agree with this more. Shinjovial, Mr. O first brought it up to me many years ago. At first I was taken aback. The subject was dropped but the thirst for more knowledge about it remained in my mind as I found the prospect enticing..tho I would never tell him that. Eventually (after a few years) I sought out information on my own and then I brought it back up to him. Imagine his surprise! At the time I only let him know it was a thought, not something I was ready to dive into. After much more searching for information, I found him a couple of sites that I had stumbled on and we began to talk about it more. And after a couple of years, we made the first step. In this case we moved at the pace of the slowest partner...which was me.
This isn't to say that your wife may change her mind later down the road, but you need to give her the space and time to discover if it is something that she might be interested in too. For some it may take weeks for others it may take years. For me it took years.
Good luck and I think you are moving at the right pace.
Mrs. O
PS: As for ricindi and gonefishing...none of that escaped me either. So much for creativity.
