The Best Thing I’ve Done For My Relationship Was Catching Crabs
How on earth can I be doing this with the wife of a lifelong friend?
I’d never done anything like this in my life. She talked me into it (that’s what I tell myself anyway). It was a hot Sunday afternoon. We’d been watching baseball and drinking a few beers.
Our respective spouses had driven into Charleston to play a round of golf, leaving us to our own devices.
Once I finally gave in, she slipped off into the bedroom to change into something more appropriate.
When she emerged from her bedroom, I knew I was going to need to change my clothes as well. No need to trash my new Vineyard Vines tee and killer Birdwell’s. So I ran upstairs, stripping down in the upstairs laundry and throwing on some old stuff I could really get messy in, and throw away if necessary.

But the heart wants what it wants, and damn it I deserved a little fun too.
And away we went.
The first time we did it was absolutely amazing.
