I totally agree that I've basically given him permission (even though he doesn't have my permission), but there's a reason why....We were young when we met and ultimately got married, and he's always been bothered by the fact that I had one more sexual partner than he had before we met. (Our numbers were both really small - neither of us was terribly experienced.) So - we've conversed about the fact that this one will allow him to catch up.
IDK....It's dumb....but I guess I really do hope that it will appease this stupid itch that's been bugging him for 20 years.
