The niebours went away for the weekend and giving me opportunity to open a bottle of wine and sit out back with my wife. After some small talk my wife complimented me how good her hand me down summer dress looked on me.
She then asked me a crazy question, that when I go to bed did I ever pray that I would wake up the next morning and my desire to dress would be gone? I giggled and asked her the big question would be if she ever prayed I would wake up one morning and it would be gone? She also giggled and told me it's rude to answer a question with a question.
I told her if I did pray and it came true my life would be so much easier, but not to get me wrong I would miss it. I would miss the feeling of wearing pantyhose and beautiful silk slips and the relaxing feeling of being dressed. But if I did wake up and the desire was gone it would definitely be life changing.
I then asked her how she would feel if that happened? She really surprised me with her answer. She told me when the kids were younger and I would struggle for opportunity to dress I would get frustrated and moody and sometimes aggressive and she admitted saying that prayer more then once. But now it's different, she fears I'm going to go back to male habits and hobbies. She said how much she enjoys clothe shopping and sharing stuff and modelling our clothes to each other. But most of all if I lose the desire to dress I won't spend as much time with her and our strong bond will weaken.
Wow! I was caught off guard with that answer and I instantly apologized for not including her in my answer telling her I thought she hated it but just tolerated it.
She told me my idea of life changing would probably be a change for the worse in our relationship. I felt these mixed emotions happy that she sees it as a positive but also sad that she believes I wouldn't spend as much time with her and she would miss having a husband/girlfriend.
Filled with emotions I went over a gave her a huge hug and told her with or without the dressing I will always be there for her and she is my rock.
Go figure, who would have ever thought I have to keep dressing to keep a strong relationship with my wife.
I would have thought saying that prayer and it coming true would be the best thing ever, I guess I never seen the other positive side of it.
Anyone here ever say that prayer and wish it came true and be honest wouldn't you miss some aspects of it?
