My wife and I decided to sleep over her sister's house after a family party. We set up an air mattress in their living room and immediately went to sleep. I found the mattress extremely uncomfortable and kept tossing and turning. It was about 3 o'clock in the morning when I decided that I was not going to be able to fall asleep. I left my wife, who was sound asleep, on the mattress and found my way into the kitchen. In the kitchen I found Cathy, my sister-in-law, who was in her nightgown and washing the dishes.
She looked at me concerned and asked, "I'm sorry did I wake you up?" I shook my head no and asked, "What are you doing awake at this hour?" She replied, "I couldn't sleep, got too much on my mind. I'm under a lot of stress lately, and John (her husband) isn't helping things much." She went on to say, "With the kids and all the stress at our jobs we haven't had time to relax and get some much needed alone time."
I replied that, "Even though we are about an hour away, Melissa and I would be happy to come down and watch the kids for a few hours. This way you two can go out to dinner or the movies and enjoy some time away."
She said, "That's not the kind of alone time I was talking about! We haven't had sex in two months! But I didn't want to say that, because I didn't want to embarrass you."
I immediately felt a little embarrassed that I misunderstood what she was talking about. But I replied, "I didn't know it had been that long for you guys! I always thought you guys were all over each other!"
