This would've been a great comment if it hadn't have your real name attached to it.

Why? What if someone is going through it and wants to talk about it with someone else who's experienced it? I'd LOVE to help them. My wife would LOVE to help them. We can't do that very well if we keep it a secret or speak about it anonymously.

Because I would feel odd knowing what you just disclosed if I were to ever cross paths with your wife. Your wife might be OK with it, but that's not an issue. How other people feel about it is.

To put it bluntly - nudism belongs to a nudist beach.

I agree with the point.

What are the odds you'll cross paths with the wife of a random person from the internet?

Your comments (and the others saying this should have been anonymous) are really saying that you think scottmagdalein should feel ashamed about this part of his life -- in his replies he's telling you that he doesn't. It's worth reflecting on why you feel that way.

No, I am not saying or implying this. Who am I to say what he should be ashamed of? What I am saying that this is a matter that perceived as private and sensitive by many, and that I would personally prefer for it to stay that way.

Why would you feel awkward? She made a mistake. She stopped, asked for forgiveness, and we are very happy. The "sin" has been rectified.
