Hi all,
Thank you for everything that was said good and bad.
I would like to clarify some things. When I brought it up I did make it about both of us. I agonized about bringing it up for a long time.
My exact words were that I felt we were at a place in our relationship that I would like us to consider expanding our sexual horizons, possibly to include other couples or singles.
I did not want this to be just about me. I have researched and read enough about the lifestyle to know that is not the way to go.
I am, and always have been more vocal and forthcoming about my fantasies than she has. When I have asked her about her fantasies they have always been just about the two of us either in an exotic location or pretending to be other people and meet in a bar.
We have a helthy realationship and despite sleeping in seprate rooms (because I snore badly) the sex we have is still outstanging.
I could have kept my feelings to myself about the subject but that is not in keeping with open communication. If you can not talk to the person you have been with for 25.5 years, then who can you talk to. (I'm in accounting so yes I am anal about number specifics. Nothing to read into that, sorry to dissapoint you BamaRide)
I really felt she would say lets think about it, do some research and see.. That is not what I got...
As I said this was a few months ago and she has had some time to think about it. We'll see where things go.
Again, thank you all for listening and your perspective.
