Just Another Night Out

So here I am, my husband's been on base doing who knows what all day. But as a military spouse, it’s kinda the norm for us to live separate lives at times. Tonight though? Well, it was different. I had plans with some friends and ended up chatting online with this really interesting guy who just gets me. We’ve known each other from a few meetups and there's always a playful banter between us. He’s been in my thoughts lately, especially since we both know the deal about open relationships. It’s funny how something that should be easy can sometimes feel so complicated. Anyway, long story short, it turned into a pretty late night with some drinks and lots of flirting, no more than usual, just playful stuff that gets me all giggly inside. I don’t even know what came over me tonight, but I started sending him pics under the guise of a fun game we were playing. It felt like an adventure! And yeah, it definitely was one for my husband, who called at 2 AM with some concern, and for me too. The funny thing is, none of this really feels out of the ordinary. Is that weird? I mean, we’re both adults, there’s no secrets or lies here, just a little bit of fun and games on a night when we’re apart. But it makes me wonder, is that normal to feel like it's okay to do all this while still being married and loyal in my heart? Anyone else ever feel this way? What’s the deal with having some fun on the side but feeling totally honest about your relationship?
