A couple things:
1. Is anyone else wondering what's going on between lostgirl and AtlantaDave? Sharing cock rings? There's a bit of a weirdness factor there, don't you think?
2. Dave, I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost my Dad about 6 years ago and still miss him so badly sometimes.
3. Getting "permission" from your W to have an affair has a very high creep factor. As the resident lawyer, I advise you not to seek permission, and generally, not to seek Love or Sex outside of your M. My 1st W had me convinced that every other woman had either herpes or AIDS. Then I saw "Fatal Attraction." Do you own a bunny?
