So I like to be introspective so I wanted to ask the thread: Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give to yourself about the lifestyle?

Personally, I would tell myself to not take everything too personal and communicate better with my spouse. In our first few times interacting with others in the lifestyle, there were some hiccups (mostly on my part) where I didn't say exactly what I wanted to say to my lady on account of just being too nervous on how her reaction would be when I said it. I felt I should have just said my intentions and not overthink them, which I tend to do at times.

But I wanted to know if anyone had something they'd like to share as well.
