Happy New Year to one and all! This is my first blog offering of 2008, one of many I'm sure. Yesterday I was discussing the 'air of mystery' in a relationship with a relative and we both agreed that a little 'something' kept back, that certain 'je ne sais quoi' tends to help keep the excitement alive. Now, when I say about keeping something back I'm not referring to lies and deceit but just the same as some sexy lingerie is attractive because of leaving a little up to the imagination I find it unnecessary to share absolutely everything about myself with the 'other half'. This is probably beginning to sound a bit odd so let me assure everyone that hubby and I have been together for 39 years so we do know more or less everything about one another.
I cringe when I hear some of the things that some other people don't mind sharing with their partners, such as having a poo when the love of your life is in the bath next to the loo, or farting in front of them on purpose. I mean I am no prude BUT I can't say I would find it anything other than disgusting to share the aroma of the contents of the human colon with somebody that I love. I suppose in that respect I could be thought of as inhibited but I tell it like it is and I find it a matter of common decency. Call me old fashioned if you like but as I said we've been together for 39 years and are still in love and happy with each other, which is more than can be said for many relationships of the more modern couples eh?
