I need advice, and I need it fast!
It all started a few months ago. I’m a married man in my late 30s, and I wanted to add a little zing to our love life. So, I decided to buy my wife a little “device” to help us in the bedroom. I won’t lie; I thought I was being a genius—romantic, even! For a while, things were sweet in the other room. My wife was more excited than I’d ever seen, and we were having fun with this new “toy.” But now, this “innocent addition” has become a full-blown third wheel in my marriage. My wife has fallen madly in love—with the plastic I mean, really in love. She’s using it ALL the time, and it’s gotten to the point where I’m not sure if she’s even aware of my presence anymore. In fact, if that toy had hands, I’m convinced she’d be holding its hand instead of mine. She even named it BOB (Battery Operated Boyfriend) and always giggles after she says that.
At first, it was funny—maybe even cute. But now? She’s sneaking off at all hours. She’s missed work deadlines. House chores? Forget it! Laundry is piling up, dishes are gathering dust, and it feels like the “toy” is the only thing getting any attention around here. I’ll admit, I’ve thought about taking the toy away, just to see if it would bring her back down to earth. But, here’s the problem: I have never seen my wife this happy and bright! She’s practically glowing, smiling at random times, and walking around with a confidence that’s almost… contagious. Part of me feels guilty for wanting to “dim her light,” so to speak. I just wish there was a way to keep that sparkle without her constantly disappearing with the device! E don tire me and I need some advice! please help a brother out! How do I gently remind my wife that I still exist? Or should I just accept that I’ve been replaced by a piece of plastic?
