2557 days later

Logging into my WP dashboard the other day, it was pointed out to me that I have been writing this blog for 7 years, and have published over 800 posts. It largely started as a way of documenting how I was trying to revitalise Our marriage, and more importantly Our sex life.

7 years ago, on Xmas morning, I presented my Wife with a

large, flat, white box, wrapped with a broad gold ribbon. Inside was crisp white tissue paper, wrapped around red silk and cream lace. A matching set of lingerie, made up of a torsolette, a bra, a pair of panties, a thong and a suspender belt.

2557 days later, I’m sleeping on the sofa for the second Xmas (We have elderly house guests so my Wife has vacated Her bedroom for them whilst I have vacated mine for Her) and on Xmas Eve morning, I had a lonely wank in the shower. The lingerie was retired to the deepest recesses of my Wife’s underwear drawer months ago and I wouldn’t reomtely consider bying Her underwear again, We’ve been through couples therapy twice, albeit to little effect, and how We are still living under the same roof is somewhat of a mystery.

So much for my optimistic intentions of 7yrs ago.

And yet, if my Wife will actually talk to a therapist about Her own issues, I still cling on to hope.
