Progressing towards getting back into it

I had posted in the wannabe section a few weeks ago and the feedback I got was that I was in the wrong section since my wife had done it before and the journey is more whether she gets back into it. I'm hopeful she decides to get back into it.

I don't know is this is right/allowed but here was the post: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=77081

In summary, she's been with 2 guys and we were swinging with another couple for a while but it's been several years since anything has happened. Anyway, she's been chatting with an old friend who lives in another state and casually mentioned that maybe she should visit and help him out (he's been in a dry spell caring for his father).

I've been encouraging without pushing and recently she came out and said that once I find a new job (I've been unemployed since April, unfortunately) she would plan a trip to visit him. She even emphasized that she was serious and not just teasing me. So, again I'm besides myself and while I was always enthusiastic about finding a new job, I have even more to look forward to. Maybe she's ready to try again!

I’d be less concerned with whether or not you put it in the right place…. You’re a rebound wannabe (as am I) but just recognize the fact that you’ve had experiences that many wannabes never will get to have.

I’m in a similar boat in that my wife has played (quite bit actually) and has taken a hiatus for the last few years. It’s the second time she’s done this… she seems to play for a few years then takes a few years off. I’m hoping she’s not done. She says it will stay a fantasy and is more than happy to play with the idea in the bedroom but doesn’t want me to get my hopes up.

Like your situation, things certainly seem to be percolating on their own and I’m trying to be encouraging but not pushing. If something happens, it’ll be on her terms on her timeline.

Until then, we’ll always have our memories!!
