New conversation opportunities.

After finally revealing to my wife the truth, that she already had figured out on her own, it has opened a new area of discussion for us.

She was watching a show, ( I believe this show to have been vampire diaries) and she turns to me and says: "Babe, do you think Damon is hot?" Honestly, this was unexpected.

So, I look at the person on the screen, and sure enough, that guy is pretty attractive. So, of course I say so. Next thing I know she's asking me about all sorts of other characters in the shows she likes to watch.

She asks about Edward and Jacob. Jacob is attractive, no surprise there. However, Edward looks like a sickly douche bag. (I might mention I thoroughly despise the actor.) And in my estimation, twilight is a horrible, horrible plague on humanity, but I digress.

So, we go to the zoo in salt lake. While we're there, waiting to take our kids on the carousel, my wife nudges me and points a guy out. "What do you think of him?"

The guy was about 6' tall, dark hair and had some sort of sideburn beard thing. Really can't describe it.

You know what? He was hot. And being new to all of this, typing that felt weird.

But he was. So I told her so, and we talked about what exactly we found attractive about that guy. Turns out we both pretty well liked the same things.

It really has been a different experience. Never would I have thought my wife and I would enjoy talking about men we find attractive. It's really a whole new angle on our relationship.

I do have one worry........My wife thinks Dwight Schrute is hot. And she also thinks I'm hot.

I really hope I'm not as ugly as that guy. I feel almost insulted by it!

Well, here's to learning a new angle on our communication.
