Since I have known my wife, whenever we would go to an open house, we would walk through with the other couples, families and extended viewers and I would make comments designed to be overheard, but under the guise of it being a private conversation. It would drive my wife mad, because people would look at us and she would get embarrassed, but I would just continue on as if nothing was said, and no one overheard. My go to was making comments about a particular space or lack of space. Things like,
This would be a great place to hang the sex swing.
Or,
I like it, but there isn't enough room for the sex swing.
And now finally we have a lot of space...
And we still don't have a sex swing.
But for our tenth anniversary, I got something else that my wife has wanted for a very long time, a hanging seat. It is actually a two-seater, but I suspect that with my wide shoulders and previous sex swing malarkey, I am not going to be invited to share at all.
No swinging for me.
While not a great anniversary gift as it won't last forever, it is something that my wife wanted and can enjoy on the days when it isn't raining, with a blanket perhaps. It was a surprise for her, and the delivery came whilst she was at work and I built it up (very easy - hardest thing was unwrapping it) and positioned it in a place where I assumed she would want it. When she got home I gave her a kiss and said "Happy anniversary", and she was quite confused, so I followed up with,
"Did you forget??"
Our anniversary isn't for a few days yet, but for a split second she had a satisfying look of worry on her face, before it clicked that this is not the day. And then at that point, she still hadn't seen the chair, so she was still looking concerned.
She likes it though, so that is a win.
And I looked around and picked a colour that goes with our house and when the terrace turns grey, it will look quite nice there also. I also got one with "bars" as the netting, because it fits in well with the privacy screen behind it. And now hopefully, that is all the furniture we need for the terrace for now, because in the winter, I am going to have to move a lot of it into the garage and it takes up a lot of space.
Looks like there will never be room for a sex swing...
