Wow, that sounds great, Wired. That is a great 180 for you....and it worked. Just a suggestion, but as you continue to GAL, etc., don't feel that you owe your W detailed information about your plans. Keep it "general" and that makes things more interesting. Gives you a touch of mystery!
I read something a long time ago. It said that most men can deal with anything except boredom at their own address. Is that ture? (lol) Well, I think mystery in our partners causes a lot of interest. After being M for a while, it kind of helps to stir that interest up, right? I always tell people to never lie to their S, but keep enough details out to make them wonder what you're up to....(lol). It sure seem to work with your W.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
