At the same time, it has been hard on me. I love my husband. I love our sex life. I'm very well satisfied. But I miss all of the thrills and emotions that came with being a hot wife. It really is rather addictive.
I miss flirting. I miss planning naughty adventures in semi-public spaces. I miss strangers commenting on my pictures and saying I'm beautiful. I miss having dates on the calendar when I can play hooky from work and family to just enjoy my sexuality. It isn't that I can't do those things with Adventurer, but when I was a hot wife they were a new constant that I could rely on. That is no longer the case and I miss it.

First, let me express my admiration for the way you, Adventurer and Seekingmore have handled this.
During an argument, I once asked my wife to stop, then reversed that about 5 minutes later. But the way your exit unfolded is how I expect ours would too. The heartache is predictable.
Mentioning hardship is a gut-wrenching reality check for me, though.
The hardship isn't a constant thing.
It's painful to consider that the lifestyle that generates so much happiness could/would produce hardship. It weighs on me and I feel it for you.
Regarding strangers commenting, I have little doubt your beauty will continue to attract attention, and I hope you take notice.
When that happens, would Adventurer object if you were to acknowledge an admirer in your current arrangement?
Consider me a fan. I hope that the enhanced level of trust and communication with Adventurer, that was at the foundation of your hotwife experience, will endure.
