Now that I’ve offended plenty of you with my hostile take on mustard, you’re probably wondering what kind of psycho comes to an affairs group to post about mustard. Apparently, me. I don’t take myself too seriously and I love to have a good time. Perhaps that’s why I’m here. Like most of us, my marriage isn’t bad. In fact, it might even be good some days. I just miss the excitement that comes from getting to know someone, their likes and dislikes, the highs and lows of their day, and all the life events in between.
I’m 35, married with kids, good savings, decent mortgage, adequate health insurance. I enjoy sports, running, thinking I’m just as athletic as I was in my 20’s, talking to strangers on Reddit, etc. I own a business which provides a good deal of flexibility to make something like this work. No, this is not my first experience here. I’m fine if it’s yours.
What am I looking for? Not someone to meet my every need. That’s not what this is about. This is about finding a distraction in the doldrums of day to day life, feeling that surge of excitement when you see a new message, laughing at each others’ terrible jokes, being a shoulder to cry on when your day sucks. Sex is great and all, but it’s all the other things that really make a great AP relationship special.
Maybe this rambling post strikes a chord with some of you. If so, reach out and say hi. It’s always nice to have some community in this strange corner of the world where we find ourselves.
