STB, et al;
Sometimes I do not have time to read STB's full replies, so I copy them to read later. I happen to have the last two replies, so will attach them so you might remember what you were writing about. This may kick start some of the thread again.

Peak - yes, it surprised me a bit but that is what has happened - she's put this whole thing apparently on a lower priority, which I have to admit, has made it easier to think about and not get so anxious about.
Not being so anxious about it (not thinking about it so seriously while I'm lying next to her masturbating - for example) is making it easier to think about in my own head too. I can't explain it but I have to say when the anxiety is less, the idea turns me on more and more. I know it sounds crazy but it is what it is. It also helps when I'm not having to think about "what she is thinking" and without the pressure on me, it's easier to go with the good parts of the thoughts.
Since reading Enigma's post, it's made me think and look at things between Paul and Sue and assess what's happening there. I think Paul may be reassessing things too, nothing specific that I can put my finger on but the attitude about golf seems different this summer than last where he seemed to really prioritize Sue above which now seems to have changed.

Ugh- up again for work and again listening in on a conference call.
Near as I can tell, Paul's ex-wife was what I guess you'd call a shrew in many ways. Sue has shared what she has learned over the past 2 years. Apparently sex was few and far-between so she's said he is quite enamored with her desire and I recall comments about her ruining him for other women although I also think that was when she began allowing him to go bare so there is that. But I do know what Enigma is saying, I too sort of question it but that is also from my perspective and I know that I wouldn't be able to enjoy my life without Sue at home with me. I have long wondered how he feels having sex with my wife but then with her leaving him for the night and coming home to me. Putting her and I out of the picture, I have no understanding of what he does afterwards or how he feels about it other than I do not recall (maybe she hasn't told me?) of any request or desire for her to stay longer. Perhaps it's just his awareness of our family situation right now, but there's been no mention of that even before the summer.
I suppose looking at it that way, it's got one of two endings, but really only one as I don't see her leaving me, so it likely ends as others have suggested, with it not working for one or both of them and with her feeling hurt again. Maybe not, but I'm not going to kid myself. I have told her that she needs to be careful about herself and she says that it's not like that and that she is quite aware.
And in yet another confusing event, apparently both our kids are going to give us most of Fathers Day afternoon alone. Our son is heading back and our daughter will be working (mall - retail) - they both had a smile on their face when they said it so that was funny to see. What was more the surprising / confusing point is that later on Sue told me that she "wanted" me and wanted to "have fun" with me. It's quite nice to look forward to that.

Hope this helps.
