Six months later my spouse complained I was spending too much time with other men. He insisted I have one of the children with me to act as a chaperone. A...

She wondered why we never messed around and feared I didn't find her attractive. I had kissed her on the lips, but I never really kissed her. So I told her the truth. She is beautiful! I...
