Orgasms, Chinese Food and Green Tea
Mixing things up in a relationship on a Wednesday in December
We only have sex maybe once a year. We had been in a rut as far as the routine. We would flirt via text for weeks or maybe months about meeting for what we liked to call “coffee”. This week, we did something a little different.
I met Pete through OKCupid 4 years ago when my husband and I separated. It was clear from the start we weren’t going to actually date since I was involved with other people and Pete wasn’t all that interested in much other than having me over for coffee and sex. It has been a fun and interesting routine.
Everyone knows getting into too much of a routine often kills things for long term relationships because things get boring and stale. It’s important to switch things up sometimes.
The deal with Pete has been working for four years. It’s been erratic, but fun.
Things took a twist this week when he said he wanted me to come over for my Christmas present. I knew he didn’t get me an actual gift. But I still wanted to go over to his house and play the game. So I suggested he get us Chinese food as he had in the beginning when I first went over there. I reminded him to not forget to get fortune cookies and tea and we could have that instead of coffee this time. I think it was on my last visit he suggested I was like “instant coffee”.
So a week before Christmas, I went to his house and we had orgasms, Chinese food and green tea. Our relationship is staying healthy even if it isn’t based on anything other than some silly fun.
