It\u2019s her nature. I knew that when I got into a relationship with her. I admit, in the beginning I came with her because I wanted to make her happy. In those instances, I wouldn\u2019t let her go with someone alone. I wanted to be with her. Now I come to these things for my own desires as well. Like you love yours, I love my spouse with all my heart. She\u2019s my partner, and she\u2019ll be mine and I hers until the day we die. But we don\u2019t believe that exploring our sexualities with other women diminishes our love for one another. It\u2019s about honesty and being open when it comes to our sexual desires.
