I cam home just before noon today after a few appointments to find my wife...at home... We wound up having some really good sex for no damn reason at all. Where was this the past few years? I hope it continues. And Thrash, I owe you a dollar.
v. happy for you.
re: her body issues
i don't know if it's about losing weight or toning up, but either way, perhaps a joint gym membership is something to look into? we belong to ghetto planet fitness, which is $10/mo per person. we usually go together, and it's not only fairly decent bonding time, but also a way to get in shape together. i feel energized and awesome about my body after a workout, and it's nice that my boyfriend and i can share that workout high. we chitchat idly throughout the workout, and always have even more energy afterward, so we usually race home, shower up, and get down to brass tax in the bedroom as soon as possible.
i had some body issues in my last relationship, and the sex quickly waned. i felt i was out of shape, too lazy to work out, and really pissed at myself about the whole thing. unfortunately, i took it out on my sex life by letting myself lose interest in sex with my then boyfriend and get irritable or distant whenever the subject was raised. i'd bet money that i would have been more up to the task more often if i felt better about my body at the time, had i been motivated to work out. i often wonder if a gym membership may have helped to save my last relationship (or at least the sex part of it).
