So - her dad came home late yesterday afternoon. I haven't gone by to visit yet, Sue was there yesterday evening and was there this morning and came back already and is now off to get a mani/pedi which should take her mind off things. She says he looks even more frail than before and he is barely able to get around much less express himself clearly. They say there was no permanent damage other than sprains and bruises but Sue says he just looks more tired and now she's worried about her mom and that they may need to change yet again to get more assistance if they need it.
As I said, I know from many many years ago with my own parents that this is a very trying time for her and I could tell her mind was everywhere but sex when we talked last night and again today so in some ways, I think the best Mothers Day present for her would be for me to not pressure or ask her about sex but to simply leave her be for now. I will even venture to say that in some ways, I almost want to send her off next weekend now if she's going to be mopey like she seems to be right now. It sounds weird to say it but right now, the thought of Paul fucking some of this mood out of her sounds like a good thing to me.
And as for the Stop-Card. Well, I no longer believe I have full control in that sense, so no, I don't think I could tell her to stop in general. But I do think that she would still respect my wishes if something bad were to happen between Paul and I, in that maybe it'd hurt but I do think she'd break it off with him if it went sour somehow. At least I can hope and tell myself that. I think it's true for Paul, but not sure for others either in the past or possibly in the future. I do know that the genie is long out of the bottle in that I believe that for as long as she can, that she'll find a boyfriend or another guy to have sex with for as long as she can. And I guess, after 9 years, how could I really say no. LOL - its like it's in her DNA (which gives me thrill to think about both literally and figuratively).
I think the real question on the Stop-Card is whether I would ever want to ask her to stop. Whether it's 9 years that it's something she's learned to enjoy and now wants to continue, or whether it's 9 years of me learning to enjoy and respect and appreciate it, it's still 9 years and as I said above I think I feel hypocritical about suddenly saying "no more fucking around" when it still turns me on to this day. Not a day goes by that I don't have a horny sexual thought and desire for her - and that's just something that I think is really amazing to still have and want her - for whatever reason - after now over 30 years together. I know she enjoys the sex with Paul and I really like knowing that. It feels good to say it and to mean it. So when the subject of saying stop comes up, its not something that I ever feel I think about.
That's not to say I wouldn't - I mean while I love the thought of her going off with him for a few days - and I do love it, I mean yeah, while she's away I'm going to be kicking myself, but I also know when she comes back that it's going to bring new feelings and desires between us that I am continually eager to feel and experience with her - but if she suddenly started spending more and more time with him and less time here - then I am quite sure that over time it would lead me to feel differently. A few days is one thing, but a few days a week is another. I actually was thinking back to not so long ago when she had wanted to spend a weeknight at his place in addition to either Friday or Saturday and while that idea was definitely a horny thought, in reality, that might be too much for me - and I think she's aware of that. Or so we'll see. Either way, Peak, I am glad you are understanding my point of view - that I do like her doing this - denying me and enjoying Paul - but only to a certain point and in some ways I feel like we are a big science experiement now for the next 9 days or so to see how she is and what happens when she returns.
But I think that's enough for now.
