Hey all
Marys-pet - yeah, I didn't really think about that part of it until later on, but I do understand that unless I hide in the closet or something like that, that I won't be there and, at least to start out, won't be an active participant.
I guess over time maybe that'll be an issue that we'll have to figure out, but I do know that in the past, waiting home for her has been almost as exciting (and at times, maybe more arousing) as being there.
Jon - yes, you are quite correct, the memories are quite intense and are always there. Believe me, there is never a lack of arousal when we are together. I suppose you may be correct in her wanting to wait till maybe after the holidays to find another suitor. Or at least to not be so intensely involved as she has been.
On your other point, you are most correct - the last thing I have really ever wanted was for her to be doing this for me. That's been my whole point, to see her want this for herself as I am quite sure she did with both Don and Brad. I wouldn't consider, especially not now, trying to coax her into being with another guy just because I missed that with her. So in that sense, it really is up to her when she wants it. I may point out guys that we might consider and she's even said "hmmm, maybe" about a few - but then she gets herself caught up with how it'll affect her relationship with "his" wife who, for the 2 guys I joked about, is her friend. So I'm thinking of guys I know who's wives/gf's aren't friendly with Sue... Still, she was receptive to the idea....
