Sandi2, after thinking for awhile, I realize that my last post may have you believe that I am some sort of pedophile. That is NOT true. my wife was of the age of consent when we began our sexual relationship. I DO feel convicted about the age difference because you are right, the age difference was too great. I was an adult and should have known better.
However, my wife was not 17 when we were married, or when we had our first and second child, or when we bought a home together. She may feel like she wants her life back, but I cannot ignore the fact that we have two children. There was a time when I wanted to leave her, but I decided that our children were more important than myself.
I see what your saying. Its natural for a lady in your wife's position to want to assert themself, because the dynamic of the relationship when she was younger cannot be maintained. Once she got more experience and around more people, she probably wanted to see what she was missing. Your not going to have as strong a position with her, than you did when she was younger. The key is you need to let her see alot without blowing your marriage apart. She needs to know she can do alot of exploring with you, and all the fun isn't "sampling the buffet" per say. She's a married woman with two children, a house and a loving husband who wants her.
Anyway good luck on it, try to layback off of her and facilitate her enjoying life. Alot of trips and excursions out of the house will be good for you two. It will give her enough of a taste for life where she won't think your holding her back. Plus girls nights out. She should do some without you.
