Introductions discussion

Hello all. It’s been ages since I last visited CM, and there were a few causes for my leaving. Part of it was how I sensed the mood on the board; it gave me some unease, and I simply dislike bickering or watching others do so. That doesn’t mean I’m timid—I just get older and pickier about what I let into my life. Another big factor is that my wife has become really at ease with our setup. During the hectic holiday season, her focus on it seemed to drift completely out of sight. We used to say it would settle in as a routine part of daily existence, and she liked not having to bring it up so she wouldn’t feel bad about losing some sexual interest—that lack of desire was actually what started us down this path in the first place. I went along with that without mentioning it much, though she did nod at it now and then during those early months before holidays consumed our attention. However, I can’t recall her showing any real curiosity to chat about it since sometime after Halloween last year. We remain deeply devoted and quite romantic together; we just don’t talk about sex. She seems so much more content than she has in perhaps five years or thereabouts. What drew me back was reaching out to someone here who seemed genuinely genuine for conversation. While sorting through a backlog of emails, I spotted an old alert that he had messaged me. So I logged on, replied, and lo and behold, he got back to me quickly. After swapping a few words with him, it hit me yesterday marked day 300. That made me pause. Home life has been so peaceful and cozy that I suppose I’ve grown accustomed to the quiet just as much as she has. I intend to stay put this time around. Cheers for encouraging me kkeeiitthh.
