Games 2

As of those who spend the time to get to know me will find out one of the many games I like to play are mind games, not the kind to hurt people but the kind that you can of game that you can truly learn about the person you are talking to. I play this game with Bobbie a lot

The first rime I did  this to Bobbie was at a restaurant and while we were waiting for our food, we were just staring at each other with nothing to say, so we sat and looked up at the ceiling, floor, and glass of water even the people around us any where but at each other.

I was flabbergasted I have been with this woman for 35 maybe 37 or was it 50 years. In addition, I had nothing to say to her (When Bobbie reads this she is going to have a field day) :devil and she did not have anything to say to me (and you thought I was going to take the blame LOL). Therefore, I started to play a Jedi mind game with her (my picture is Darth Vader after all), :P I asked her to tell me something new about her that I did not know before. She groaned and gave me one of her patented looks “ARE YOU NUTS?”

I told her to humor me and just to play along, she started to sputter out some things about herself, and I kept telling her I know that and that too, then she started to think about the question I had asked her and then she came up with a few things that I wasn’t aware of about her. Then I popped more questions, what are some of your short and long-term goals? Your fears, hopes, and dreams, she was able to tell me something new about them all and then the evil wench, I mean the most wonderful Angel that she is, turned the tables on me and said OK smarty-pants answer your own questions.  I looked at her in mock shock and I pulled up my big boy pants and sputtered out some things like those that Bobbie did and I told her a few things that surprised her. I don’t know if it was fear or amazement on her face but I actually stunned her

The main reason I started to play this type of mind game was not to make Bobbie squirm in her seat (well that is part of it) but I realized that we had become too comfortable with each other and that is not a bad thing but the problem was we were getting stagnant, not talking to each other and we were not growing together. We were ever so slowly starting to drift away along the suttle current of the river called life, both of us were going into our own little world, and that is when the walls start to go up.

Since we all know that it takes a lot of time and effort when walls are up (and a lot of spanking), I decided to play it smart and move the bricks around while the wall is being built so it can become our wall (with a lot of doors) and not just my wall.

  2. This sounds like a great couples challenge Bob. A way of promoting communication while finding out new things about your partner at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

    Hugs,

  3. LOL! I may try these on Nick, but I won't be answering them myself - what he doesn't know by now, I don't plan on telling him.

    1. Hi PK

      Good to hear from you, are you afraid that he may find out that you want a spanking or some thing? LOL I some how don't think Nick will be the only one answering questions.

  4. I think I'm going to try and get hubby to play this with me. We've been married a long time too and thinking of things about ourselves the other doesn't know will be a true challenge! Of course, a girl can't give away ALL her secrets, lol! It's great that you're still making the effort after all these years Bob. Too many just accept the silence and distancing that is inevitable if you allow it.
