Its finally time

anonym

I have been away for a while from here, but our marriage has reached a point it hasnt in years. Also, whenever I post on here about how good things are going, we end up in an argument. However, I think I have finally reached a point that I can say I am a success story. My wife and I have gone from her calling my bluff and filling out divorce papers in front of me, to being the model partner I need in my life. She cant seem to get enough of me and me her. Our sexlife has increased tenfold. We went from 2-3 times a month. to 2-3 times a week, and this has been consistent for about the last 6 months. She laughs at my sexual innuendos when she used to scold me for "talking disgusting."  When I tell her I need her body, she doesn't tell me Im pressuring her anymore. She consistently pulls drive-bys on me and initiates sex just as often as I do.

I have successfully taken over the captain's chair, and have the majority of everything under control, well, except student loans, those are bitch. A big change also came when she changed jobs. She actually now works in the same building as me, just in a different department. Its a much less stressful position from where she was before, and it is amazing the change in her daily attitude. It was a big paycut but in the long run it will be for the best. Somehow we still manage the lifestyle we already had without any hiccups.

My kids are getting older, and with them getting older comes some rebelious activity, but for the most part they are really good kids and behaving well. 

Date nights are still pretty consistent, we found that we rather enjoy playing darts together. Surprisingly us deciding to go to the local drinking hole and have a few and shoot darts all night has kept us out of the casino and away from the more expensive activities, which so far anyway, she seems fine with. I couldn't tell you the last time we had an argument when we were out, and date night always ends in really kinky sex. It used to be about a 50/50 shot, now its virtually guaranteed. 

When it comes to daily interaction, she just makes me feel like a man. She's great at that beta stuff too. She always knows what to say or do to bring me down when im getting upset about something, or when I need that extra push to get something done. She doesn't nag me anymore. She will mention something, and it just gets done. Our marriage has come a long long way since December 2012. Looking at where we are now and how happy we are with each other, I cant even believe we were ever where we were then. 

BUT...I have also learned something huge from all you guys and Athol's books, the struggle, the fight, the persistence never ends. I always thought I was awesome. No I wasnt not even close. I am now, but I need to continue to do the things that make me awesome. There is always room for improvement. We cant change our spouses. We change ourselves, and mine has come along for the ride, and its great. So keep on MAPping people. Stay on your 3 monkeys, and you'll get there.
