Being Heard by My Spouse

This is a typical vanilla topic around here, but I wanted to share it. Today I went for coffee with my spouse and she suddenly mentioned how much she appreciated that I was really listening and discussing the things I cared about hearing her talk through. It didn’t feel like I was making an effort at all, especially since there wasn’t any mention of Day 8 in our current streak. It’s strange, but it bothers me slightly to realize my body reacts this way. Being in chastity suits me better and costs less than the therapy sessions I sometimes attend.
