We're getting there. I'm aware that this post is not exactly **SPANK-ABLE** material, there has been various posts here and other places in which things don't go right when people in a long-term relationship are opening themselves to outside sexual partners. Some due better than others. Some force such things on the other. The wife and I have talked with many other couples who are open or polyamorous. Some who have been around for decades but also some which end in divorce, but not always related to sex.
So "Challenges" is how actions and words can dictate what can happen. Talking more with the wife has been a help... but both of us having some health issues didn't help - Don't worry, none of it related to sex /STDs
Oh, I hate drama. Life is already fucking hard without drama!
