I used to catch my guy staring at me when I was in karate class or the weight room at college... so one night at a party, I approached HIM. Not only did he sneak me into a bar that night, he made it past the defensive line of the football team that protected me like a little sister, AND he was ok w/ me saying that I wouldn't sleep with him the first night (I waited 'til the next day )

haha
Even though he's a 9-5 working stiff, he's been my partner in crime and drinking for 12 years and even told ME that I should get into adult sites years ago (of course, I had already been designing them for a few months)
He has absolutely no problem w/ my involvement in this industry and goes w/ me to all of the conventions. And hey - not many wives in our circle actually ASK their men to go with them to stip clubs to take photos or to judge if a site tour is "raw" enough!!
We are totally partners in everything (as anyone who's seen us in Vegas or Miami constantly drinking and laughing w/ eachother will attest to)
so it's almost like he is in this biz which I think is what you need if both partners are not. Couldn't imagine not being able to discuss crap with him... and yet it's nice that he has a "regular" job so our neighbors aren't so nosey
ok... 'nuf said
Later!
