RE: How do I Get My Wife To Join Me ?

Married couples should be able to talk about anything and everything. A marriage is about being open and honest with each other ... open communication is the key. I might be that she is unwilling to tell her true feelings about your nudity, her nudity and nudity in general. How do you get your wife to join in? I'd start with opening the lines of communication. Start with ... "I know you have concerns, fear, doubts, dislikes or are uncomfortable with my nudity and nudity in general, can we just talk about that?" If the lines of communication are easier while clothed ... then by all means ... put something on to open those lines up. Things will get said that may hurt but it's better to get them out so you can discuss all the points of fear, concern, doubt ... etc. You have to address her questions and concerns and that only happens with open communication...if she's not willing to talk, there's something else going on cuz wife's want and need to talk and we need to listen. :)So very well put. My wife was strictly a home nudist for 15 yrs, petrified of being scene naked by anyone but me. Secondly she has had a life of being constantly dogged after and she was afraid of it being worse if she was naked. Being a very social person I felt so trapped and aggravated about being stuck at home.
We had a very long discussion that covered a 3 day weekend. It wasn't me trying to talk her into it and her just opposing social nudity. In brief it was a discussion of where we both were in life, our desires, needs, voids ect. As Andydi mentioned, some things were said that did hurt to hear for us both. Open communication works for us as we truly care about each others opinion and happiness.
Fast forward 3 yrs. She is a very active member at our club, she is the one all geared up and excited to get our place opened up this weekend for the season. It wasn't my 15 years of patients and hoping, it was our mutual respect and communication that allowed her to make her own decision to give it a try. We met a couple right here in TN that became dear friends which I believe calmed her nervousness once she decided to pull the trigger. We are now neighbors at camp.
