About 2 1/2 Weeks into r.p. mode and I feel like I got my life and wife back.

Our relationship is honestly similar to how it was when we were dating. I know even with a lot of r.p. there will be ebb and flows , but I'm seriously enjoying the flow at the moment.

We're a lot more playful with each other. I tease the hell out of her a lot more. She laughs a lot more at the things I do or say to make her laugh on purpose. When we're alone we make out a lot. Sometimes when we're not alone just to make the kid groan in disgust.

All week she's been cooking dinner. Taking the kid to afterschool activities, and I've been getting to do my after work activities.

So here's a fun wrinkle. She might have started her period Monday. To be honest, in relationships in the past that wouldn't have stopped the fun. But we do have a lot of white sheets and I have outgrown being OK with looking like I just got shot in the crotch and the smell of fresh kill. I know it's personal preference, but we see eye to eye on it. So she did some alternate activities which was awesome because in the past I would have been on my own.

What's not so awesome is that she told me yesterday that she's worried as her period is WAY LIGHT this time. Lighter than it's been since she got p.g.

The hamster is not on birth control. She medically has a lot of problems when she is, and has tried many varieties. We had some rubbers but they had expired to our lack of activity over the past several years. And I haven't felt the burning need to go get the vasectomy yet since we had been using the celibacy method of b.c.. So like a dumbass highschooler, the times we did it this week ended up with the pull out technique. I'm 99% sure of my success as she was pasted with a mess every time. But damn that's a foolhardy method, and I curse my over-excitement overriding my good sense. So now, like a dumbass highschooler, I have to sweat it out waiting for the test results. And neither one of us wants a kid again. She's at the age where she's very worried about complications, I just don't want to be an ancient dad.

Needless to say I've already made a trip to replenish our condom supply.

So I guess a word of caution that the red pill works, so be prepared for it working.
