Getting the Idea
So last Friday night, me and the wife were just chilling watching Netflix. Some drama show pops up with this messy threesome scene. We both kinda shifted awkwardly on the couch but didn’t say nothing. Later that night, I started thinking “damn what if that’s actually a fantasy of hers?” Couldn’t shake it off for days.
Testing the Waters
Tuesday morning I tried sneaking it into breakfast talk. Made some dumb joke like “Bet that pineapple looks jealous huh?” while she was cutting fruit. She just rolled her eyes hard and snapped “Stop being weird before coffee.” Total flop. Realized I needed an actual strategy.
That night I did three things:
- Googled “how not to sound like a creep” at 1AM
- Practiced in the bathroom mirror saying “hypothetical question” 50 times
- Wrote down points so I wouldn’t ramble like an idiot
The Actual Talk
Waited till Sunday when she was relaxed after yoga. Started casual: “Remember that show we watched? Got me thinking about fantasies…” Saw her tense up so I pivoted fast. Pulled out my notes like a dork but it helped.
Took like an hour going step by step:
- First confirmed we’re only talking, not planning anything real
- Shared my own nerves first to level the field
- Asked what fantasies SHE might have before mentioning mine
When I finally choked out the question, her eyes went wide. But instead of slapping me, she burst out laughing! “You spent three days freaking out about THIS?”
The Aftermath
Turns out she’d tried bringing it up last year when I zoned out during her astrology rant! We talked for hours laughing about how bad we both are at this stuff. Didn’t magically solve anything but now:
- We made a “no judgment” rule for future fantasy talks
- Booked couples counseling because communication’s clearly broken
- Realized our biggest problem was avoiding hard convos
Bottom line? Stop stressing about HOW to say it and just spit it out gently. Worst that happens is you laugh about it later. Still zero threesomes planned though – baby steps people!
