Had two trips that required air travel so the cage always came off that those. I stayed unlocked between trips and never locked back up after. My wife and I had been going through a rough patch as it was. She has never been an avid chastity supporter. I'd say she tolerates it at best. We got through our rough patch and after that opened up a dialogue about chastity. She feels chastity has been a road block to our intimacy. We struggle with intimacy issues. She is a very "little Caesars" type of lover. She wants it hot and now. The mood pops up quick for her and you have to keep her attention or she loses it. So stopping to unlock or get a strap on isn't helpful to her. She further explained that she feels chastity did help her rebuild trust after my affair but now has come to hinder our intimacy. Being 24/7 became more locked and forgotten instead of building intimacy like id hoped. We did come to a compromise that I can lock up during her period and she will hold the key. Maybe not being 24/7 we might come to have some fun with it as a novelty.
It's awesome that you're talking about it. Keep talking. Keep valuing her opinion. Your relationship will grow.
