Genuine worry. what if we love this too much and it takes over our life
this is a weird angle compared to most of the "what if we hate it" posts here but its where my head is at. we're first timers (f33 him 36, 9 yrs together, no kids yet) about to dip toes into the LS. weve done our homework, weve picked a club for our first night, weve had the conversations. and the worry thats actually keeping me up isnt "what if we hate it and damage the relationship". its "what if we love it and it slowly takes over and we become weird about it". bc heres the thing. we're kinda obsessive people. we get into hobbies and we go ALL in. when i picked up climbing i was at the wall 5 times a week within 3 months. when he got into homebrewing the spare room was a brewery in 6 weeks. we dont do moderation well. and im genuinely scared that if the first night goes well well be at clubs every weekend, on the sites every evening, scheduling our life around it, ignoring our friends, becoming "those people" who can only talk about one thing at the dinner party. is this an actual risk or am i making up a problem? do people who fall hard into the LS pull back naturally after a few months? have you seen couples burn through their relationship by overdoing it? or is it the kind of thing where the novelty fades and you naturally settle into a rhythm? whats the realistic year-1 trajectory of a couple that takes to it?
