My wife and I have a preteen daughter and a toddler. This means that for longer than a decade, we have had at most 36 consecutive hours of true alone time together. We truly love and support each other, and while I won't complain about our frequency of intimacy, there is always the ever present reality that we can't get too crazy, or we will draw unwanted attention.
We have been living a nomadic lifestyle for the past two years and finally made it a point to take a week to fly home (without the kids) and prep our home to be rented out. I learned two things during this past week. My wife and I still actually enjoy each other's company, and God damn is sex so much better when you don't have kids in the house.
The first day and a half was pretty normal as it takes a minute to recalibrate to a new environment, but over those last 3 and a half days alone, we put our early 20 year old selves to shame. Being with someone for so long allows one to shed their inhibitions, and we finally got a chance to really explore what intimacy can be like when you aren't worried about showing off, being judged, or having a kid knock at the door because you were making too much noise.
It's been 3 days since I dropped my wife back off at the airport (I'm stuck here finishing up) and I can't wait to get back to her. It feels like those early days of a relationship where you can't keep your hands off one another. Overall, this trip has been hard as fuck, stressful, exhausting, and expensive, but I'm so happy we took it.
