The Secret Confessions of a Horny House Wife


Candor Among the Waves

 

Below please find an edited-for-anonymity version of a recent e-mail exchange with our surfer friend Detective Curt.  He is in blue.  I am in red. 

If you’re new here and want to catch up on Detective Curt and why I call him the surfer, here’s the post to read:  Surfing with Detective Curt.  If you want get the flavor of our relationship, read this short story I wrote about my time with him: XX Man.

Curt was my first extra-marital man and, looking back, my relationship with him was marked by a complete lack of communication about what was happening between us.  As a result, I think I assumed an imagined a lot.  Perhaps he did too. 

Why did we fail to talk about subjects like how we felt about each other, whether we would see other people, and whether or not we were satistfied and wanted to continue seeing each other?  I think for me, I was so new at this whole extra-marital affairs thing that I was afraid of appearing too needy or emotionally attached.  (In fact, I was very needy and emotionally attached.) 

Now I think that perhaps Detective Curt sensed I was withholding strong feelings and assumed I was dissatisfied with him.  At the time, I thought he was just losing interest in me. 

The bottom line is that I had an incredibly strong school girl crush on him.  That’s the best way to describe it.  And despite the fact that it’s been six months since I’ve seen him, and I’ve since had more satisfying relationships, emotionally and sexually, I still want him.  But how much?    

Detective Curt: Hi. How are you?  I think of you often, and hope all is well.  Hope to hear from you!

Horny Housewife: Hey, you.  Hope you are well too.  I have a new job at XX and that’s keeping me busy.  Big change, but good.  How are you?

DC: wow, no kidding…that’s great!  How are things at home?  What happened?   I never heard  back from you, and didn’t want to bug.  I figured you  had  lot going on.  I think of you often and was wondering how you were. 

HH: Things at home….got to the point where my husband was looking for an apartment…  Then we sat down together and talked about things. He made some promises which he has mostly kept, and so things are OK and we are still together, which is better for Spencer.  I’m not sure how it is for me.

How are you?  How is your new assignment?  How are your ***?  How is your *?
DC: Hmm well I can understand what you’re probably going through.  If you would like to get together to talk let me know. Or if you would like to get together for fun stuff, let me know that too (wink).

The new assignment is going OK.  I haven’t  *** much either, and as far as the *, what the hell does that mean?  Had me cracking up though!

HH:  Detective Curt, you confuse me.  You seemed to completely lose interest, but now you suggest fun (with a wink)..  Please explain.

        

And as for *….  Don’t you really like * a  lot?   I actually took a short fiction writing class a couple of months ago and   wrote a story about you called XX.
 

 
It was an extremely popular story, so you are kind of famous.  ;-)   Fun with a wink with Detective Curt…temptation is such a powerful  force…   
 

 

 

 

x, HH
  

 

 

 
 

 

DC: Yes.  You are right!  I didn’t know that you remembered that, to the extent that you wrote a story!  Wow. 

  

 

 

DC: I never lost interest.  What I did notice was I was the only one initiating contact.  When you said the D[Divorce] word I waited to hear from you.  I waited and waited.  It was like the “Need Milk” commercial with all the ** I ate!  Lol
So I wrote to check on  you.  Never did I grow tired or lose interest in you.  In fact, I think about you and crave you quite often. 
XX 

HH: Curt,  I definitely felt you fading away, and I didn’t want to keep e-mailing you if you weren’t that interested in me..  It was making me feel pathetic.Plus, I suspected I was one of a harem, which was okay, because we didn’t have any agreement otherwise, but still, I realized that I didn’t like the way it felt. But I do have fond memories of you and your ** and our very fun afternoons.  I always thought we had good chemistry..
x, HH

 

DC: Wow a harem? That’s crazy!  I was struggling with my time as it was. The only thing I can say is I had changes goin on at work and with my current to new assignment.  It crushes me to think You felt pathetic.  I enjoyed all the time we spent together. And thought we hit it off great.  I was afraid I was complicating
things for you at home.

 

HH: Looking back it seems strange the things we didn’t talk about. Maybe with a lack of information about each other we both made assumptions that weren’t true.  And if you had no harem, then I am disappointed because my entire fantasy about who you were has been devastated.  ;-p
x, HH.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

DC: I  agree. Well we can always pretend while we fuck each others brains out!  You knoiw, don’t take this wrong, but lookin back I always felt as though I wasn’t quite givin u what u were desiring. Not sure why.I may have been reading into it.  Don’t know.  I often felt like I should have persued the watching fantasy more or 3sum. Plz tell be honest     

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

HH: It’s funny you write that.  I thought about it all day.  It’s true and  it isn’t true.  Looking back, I think what was missing for me was feeling  like  I knew what was going on..  I often felt like I was in the dark. There was
so much we didn’t talk about, that I was distracted by the mysteries of our  relationship, and that colored everything.  And then you seemed to slowly and then rapidly lose interest in me.  And that just made me
withdraw  more.
In fact, I assumed you weren’t pursuing sexual stuff we had talked about because you just weren’t interested.  Isn’t that just a little bit true?  Come on.  You can tell me now..  It’s like your surfboard story.  I
felt like your surfboard that had just lost its thrill for you.  And when   e-mailed you that time and mentioned the surf board story and tried to be honest about my perception of what was going on between us, I felt like you sort of ignored what I was saying, and then I gave up.
DC: Not really, I would say so if it was true.  I think what happened when you mentioned the surfboard story it kind of threw me, and it seemed like you had or were loosing your self confidence, or were testing me in a sort of way.
Your emails were only responses to mine, and I didn’t feel comfortable with that.  I assumed you were having stuff going on at home.  I wanted to  pursue the fantasies we had talked about but was a little uncomfortable  becasue I wasn’t sure how far you wanted to go with it, and I didn’t want to push.
Then  I think I just kind of did a test of my own, and waited to see if you  would  email me.
 x
HH: That’s so funny.  When I e-mailed you about the surfboard story, it was because I finally was feeling some confidence about all this.  I felt like   wanted to tell you what I’d been feeling and wondering.  I just wanted to have an honest conversation.  I’m sorry you saw it as a test.  It  really  wasn’t.  And wasn’t I the last one to e-mail you?  I thought I was waiting  for you to respond.

No more tests, okay, Peanut Butter Man?
DC: No. Well yes kinda. You said “You perplex me.” That was it.  Anyway, agreed. No more tests.  So what or where would you like to go from here?
 XX
HH: I’ve been sitting here staring at this blank screen for 10 minutes.  You’ve confused me.
DC: Why?  Explain
So the above is the most honest Curt and I have ever been with each other about our relationship.  I like to think that over the last eight months I’ve learned to be more emotionally honest with the men in my life. 
Friends, what do you make of all this?

I think you have unfinished business with Detective Curt. Why not explore those fantasies while using what you have learned about being more honest and open?

Game playing by girls is acceptable, to a point. Over done it becomes tiresome and will earn you a rebuke. Game playing by men is childish, silly and should be beneath one. From the mans point of view it is really quite simple. You want a girl, you let her know that. What she does when cognisant of that fact is up to her.

I am not going to pin your arm halfway up your back and frog march you down the path. I will however hilight it for you and invite you to walk down it with me. No gameplaying, no tests, no coyness.

I do not mean to say that one has to be unsubtle or boorish, but it as mans place to lead and a womans place to follow. To effectively lead a woman one must show her the way, it is as simple as that.

A man who game plays or who is unable to deal with a girl who either does so, or who he suspects may be doing so, lacks self confidence. I suspect you need and would benefit from something else. Perhaps you should be more discerning. I am sure you can afford to be.

Merely my opinion of course.

Comment by Mr.C.

Friends, I was just rereading this post and realized that I had omited about four e-mails from this post. It’s fixed now. I don’t know if it makes any difference.

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

It sounds to me like the door has been re-opened, so to speak, and that you finally have some open communication going. I think you should walk a bit further down this path and see where exactly it leads you. You’ve admitted yourself that you still have feelings for DC, so in my opinion, it may be worth pursuing. Good luck no matter what you choose to do!

HH –

1st) I don’t think you should lose an opportunity to be honest and open with someone. This communication with Det. Curt sounds like a powerful experience. Take it and learn from it.

2nd) thanks for posting this exchange. It was very inspiring for me and my own challenges to have open communications with mrsfreeze.

Comment by mrfreeze

Open and honest communication is always a good thing (although not always easy) if you want to have a meaningful relationship…with anyone.. Other than that, I don’t really know what to think… I’m sure you will do what is best for you. Thank you for sharing this.. I enjoyed reading it.

Comment by Girly

Girly’s right. Love is a many splintered thing . . . especially when you don’t communicate. Personally, I think you may have dismissed DC as someone who you couldn’t carry on a relationship with. That, for you, he was merely sexual. Clearly, he was and is something more. And Vice Versa.

Comment by Joe

ok. so i came accross your blog through another website. I read one posting.. and i was HOOKED! :)

i went back to your very first post to better understand and catch up on all the juicy and very interesting details of your… adventures.

i just want to say that I am honestly do glad you are doing this. No one, including me has the right to judge your life, decisions, actions, feelings and emotions. So I truly admire you for all this. It’s honest and raw, and we don’t get writing like that often. The truth is SOOOO many people are obviously doing things like this, but not many are brave enought to write it…. and not as witty and detailed as you do. i LOVE IT!!..

as a 23 yrd old woman… the thought of marriage does not scare me… it’s the idea of marrying the wrong person, and therefore…i feel i should never get married. but tha’s a whole different story :)

ok i think DC sounds pretty genuine and honest. I like him… well what i read about him anyway. sometimes it is hard to be honest in what we way and feel towards others. but i believe in taking the risk of being completely honest with what you feel in order to avoid misunderstandings that in the end might lead to an outcome we may no necessarily want… :) **BIG HUG**

Comment by simply D

HH: Silence is a killer sometimes. How can one not wonder about the answers if you think you are asking the questions correctly right?

I’m not sure what I would do in your situation. It depend’s I guess on how tough you can be and perhaps expect for a repeat of the same behavior.

Life is an adventure though and it does sound like there is some unfinished business between the two of you. The way you talk about him and if he got under your skin like that sexually, well I myself might be inclined to keep riding the wave. :-)

Good luck!

Comment by alwaysthatgirl

His e-mails still seem a little more guarded than yours – lacking the emotion and vulnerability that you are showing him. If I was you, I would either express your desire to see him without showing any hint of doubt (hide your self-doubt for now and expose it when you truly trust a person) like “Yeah well lets get together. My vagina sure misses you! *wink*!” OR you could act more indifferent and throw the ball into his court – let him make or not make the plans and don’t show too much emotion either way – “Yeah well I should have some free time this Sunday. Gimme a call if you want to come up and see me”.
This is all just my humble opinion. Honesty and vulnerability are two abstract concepts that, sadly, seem to go hand in hand. I only want to help you because I often make the mistake of either giving too much of myself to someone or playing games with someone to the point that they think I’m not interested. I want you and Curt to succeed. Hope I’m not rambling…

MR. C. – As always, thank you for your sage advice.

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

SWINGER WIFE – I plan to do exactly that. Thank you for your comment!

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

MR. FREEZE: It’s so interesting that your name is Mr. Freeze and you feel you’re not communicating with your wife. Do you write a blog? I’d love to know more.

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

GIRLY: I enjoyed everyone’s feed back. I wasn’t sure whether it would be interesting or boring to readers. Thanks!

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

Thanks, JOE, for the male point of view. It feels weird hearing that an outsider things I may have been more than disposable sex to Det. Curt. Weird, but good.

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

SIMPLY D: I’m so glad you found me! I love looking at my stats and seeing that people have been reading my old posts. They get lonely without readers. Please comment again, and thank you for your nice compliments about my writing!
♥, HH

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

ATG, I think I might hop on.

Comment by Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife

CHB: you never ramble. You are too good a writer. What you describe is what I have always done with Curt. It only got me so far. I’m willing now to be more vulnerable because I think I’m coming from a place of greater confidence in myself. It’s a weird paradox, but I’m trying to figure out how it works.
