The temptation is there, but I don’t want to be disrespectful

To be more affectionate with Adelina than just consoling her. The temptation to kiss her on her lips caress her body. But I couldn’t feel good about doing so. I am sure Desmond would not mind in the slightest, but I couldn’t feel good about it. Her and I are still married on paper, but we drifted apart and separated months ago. During that time, I’ve had Lucas with Desmond, who will be three months old soon. I feel it’s not like her and I can just pick up where we left off anymore. It’s a lot more serious than that.

Maybe it’s time each of us have a sit-down talk about this. Discuss boundaries and whatnot. It was always loosely defined anyway with us agreeing to the open marriage thing, but if there are boundaries now, maybe now’s a good time to set them.
