The kiss led to the clothes being taken off, which led to us fucking our brains out on the kitchen counter. We hadn’t been that intimate in a long time. I grabbed my shirt, and I knew that this moment we had didn’t change what was going on. “Will, I know you still love me, but why are you on those apps?” He grabbed his shirt and put it on also. He sighed heavily. “I feel like we have no excitement in our lives,” he said. “I look at our friends and they’re out there living their lives. We’re at home reading books, cooking dinner, giving each other half-ass blowjobs.” “I can make sure to put all my effort in my next blow job, if you want,” I said. “I don’t want to miss out on our life.” “You know, most people would be lucky to have what we have,” I said. “You think that I don’t know that? It’s all a bunch of fucking emotions coursing through my mind and heart right now. I want to stay with you, but I want out sometimes,” he said. “I’m not having an open relationship,” I said. I knew that people did it, and I respect that for them. I didn’t have the confidence or trust in my partner to go out there and sleep around. “I don’t think either of us could do one of those types of relationships, anyway.”
