After you've been together intimately with someone 25 years there isn't quite anything you don't know about them. Literally. Unless they or you is leading some secret double life or you are one of those clammed up persons that doesn't open up whatever the circumstances. You have gone over the old infancy stories at least 5 times. You know what they like to eat. What movies or tv channels they prefer, what toothpaste they want, the works. In the valley of the sheets department you know when it's a promising day or a headache day. You know what positions are good, bad or tolerable. You know what holes are ok or no go zones. You have been having sexual relations for more than 2000 times, not that I'm counting, just a rough guess. You brought into the bedroom some novelty that did get to be old news eventually. Toys, porn, light bondage, role play, the works.
Ok so if things are a bit stale in the bedroom how about getting out of it?
Who doesn't like a change in scenery once in a while?
So after 25 years or so of marriage instead of giving her another useless present she wouldn't like... again, I decided to give her a surprise treat of a luxury one nighter in a 5 star designer spa hotel. She only found out when we arrived at the lobby and 2 bellboys came running to open the doors and pry the luggage from our hands. Not being used to this kind of royal treatment it feels funny and exquisite being indulged this way. Just go along with it, best way.
