Do I still have it?

My wife of 30 years has given me the green light to explore a side relationship, as our intimacy has dwindled. She’s open to me having a little fun on the side, but only every couple of weeks, and she wants to choose the person without meeting her or having her come to our home. She even asked what kind of woman I’m interested in (age, etc.). As a 58-year-old straight man, I’m feeling overwhelmed and a bit anxious about this new territory. It’s definitely a big change for me!

As David sat on the porch, he reflected on his wife’s surprising offer. Excitement mingled with anxiety. He thought of the friendships he'd had and the laughter they shared. Maybe this was a chance to reignite a spark, even if it felt daunting. He smiled, embracing the adventure. Love, after all, evolves.
