I was a some-time nudist when I lived on the west coast many years ago with wife no. 1. When I was courting my current wife (No. 2), we visited a couple of mid-western nudist areas (Indiana Dunes, I remember), and I thought she was into it.
Well, years passed without time or opportunity, kids came and went [finally], and after last kid left the nest, I started getting dressed later and later and generally hanging out nude as much as I could, gently inviting her to do the same. I thought from there we could go to the occasional resort or beach. But she seems surprisingly resistant. She began commenting after a while that it seemed to take me an awfully long time to get my clothes on and stuff like that.
We used to have a hot-tub and several of our closer friends (all from work) would hot-tub naked with us (is there another way to hot-tub?), but we recently stayed in a cabin with some other quite close friends, also from work, and when I suggested (privately to her) that we needn't wear anything in the hot tub, she said, "I'm not in the habit of taking my clothes off in front of my colleagues," quite huffily! Oops! What should I do??
