So my wife and I have been in the life for 3years now and let me tell you at 1st we had our ups and downs. We had a lot to figure out before we got to a great place. we had no sence of balance at 1st we fought about stuff it wasnt turning out as good as we thought. But we talked it all out to every detail and both expressed are needs and wants and compromises! it took about 7months for her to get with her 1st guy but once it did happen it changed everything for the good! our Trust went up! our Communication went up! us wanting to see each other went up! and even our sex life went up! she had freedom and fun and she kept me please and happy! after a good year of her exploring other men she found a steady fuck buddy! that was a change i was feeling the effects of her 2nd relationship but i decided to embrace it and let her do as she pleases. they broke it off after a few months. right now she has a guy from her job she messed around with and her bestfriend cousin she sees now and then! its crazy how we will run earns all day pay bills cook dinner and her friend will come by and ill let then do there thing and hell leave and we have our time together thats been our sunday nights for almost 2months now... as crazy as this sounds if you are deeply in love and just adore that person this lifestyle is so rewarding how it builds trust and honesty and but its all about including and beign together even when im not there she text and keeps me knowing i am there with her....
