We joined a local gym 4 months ago and really got into it. With our schedules A goes 2 times a week by himself and I go whenever I can. Last night was a rare occasion when we were actually able to go together. Not that it matters much because we act like strangers while we're there. It just makes me feel more comfortable to know he's there with me. Plus it's fun to sneak a peak at him while he's lifting weights and feel like we're young again, being flirty. Exchanging flirty glances every once in a while like we know something nobody else knows.
Last night we were working out and we played our usual game. I was on the elliptical. He was on the bench press and I gave him a wink. The lady next to me (I'm guessing in her 50's) looked over at me and gave me this look. She started to grin and says "He's got a ring on his finger. That's just playing with fire". I couldn't help but laugh. She went on to tell me about a man she was seeing when she was in her 20's that was married and how it was exciting at first but ended in heartbreak. I explained that WE were married to each other and she calmed down a little. She got a funny look in her eye and asked if we like that sort of role play, games and such. Then it got weird. As she got off of her machine, she slipped me her business card. Want to take a guess at what she does for a living? Sells 'exotic' toys and other unmentionables. Then my mind went to the gutter. I don't think we'll be playing that game for a while. I have to get this picture out of my head first.
This got me thinking. Is there anything that you do to help keep the fire burning while TTC? It becomes a mission, a job. I don't want to loose our passion. Anyone do the same?

O.M.G. That's freaking hilarious. So scandalous to flirt with your own husband!!!! hahaha
ReplyDeleteHaaa! That's so crazy! I had a somewhat similar experience - well my neighbor's wife came over for a party we were having. She proceeded to peddle sex toys to my friends. I was mortified!!
ReplyDeleteAs for keeping the passion going while TTC - you have to turn TTC into a side thing that you do. Your sex can't revolve around your cycles. Otherwise it just sucks after a few months.
