GW... you can't imagine how relieved I am that the first reply to this thread is positive and like-minded, as well.

And thanks for being refreshingly candid... that's what I'm looking for!

Why take something we do for the love of it and turn it into work? Just my little old opinion.

Robin, we do this for ourselves, and to try to find happiness in our own lives... it's a labor of love. Working is just a means by which to pay our bills, and buy cute outfits!

Jennifer, you'll get there. Kids grown, you retire, and your spouse is OK with it... let the good times roll!

They can. Yet my own relationship struggles because of the CD'ing. That is the sticking point. She would rather I didn't, and I'll do what I please. If that means less time together, than I'd rather be happy alone than resenting the time we spend together during which I wanted to be CD'ing.

Karren... you're whipped! Now if you could just get the missus to be your dominatrix... no problem!
