My wife and I have taken breaks from this a couple of times; most recently we stopped back in December. Family always comes first for us and sometimes there isn't enough time and energy for things like this. We both feel this has been a very fun dynamic in our relationship that has ushered in laughter (at my expense) and amusement (to her delight) in place of a guessing game that leads to a circle of resentment (for both of us). I can't thank some of you enough for the advice and support you have given us over the years. Thank you!
Welcome Back! Sounds like you and your wife have a great relationship and you're both able to put the "kink" aside as needed to deal with the really important issues of life. I look forward to reading more of your posts! ~subrick
