My husband needed a routine operation and had to go into the hospital, so I agreed and handed over the key to unlock his cage. It was just an overnight stay. When I returned home the next evening, he was actually fast asleep in bed. The days passed by but he seemed different! Yes, his attitude wasn’t great—talking back to me and coming home late from work! A week later, I finally clicked that he hadn’t put the lock back on (I knew this would be the answer) when I asked him if he had relocked himself. He replied that he was going to do it because it’s sore! Sore? Why is it sore? Show me! And sure enough, it was sore—he’d been masturbating!
That explained his attitude and those after-work drinks. I asked if he preferred being unlocked; no, he said. I told him he had become ignorant and plain rude! Pleased to report that he has now returned to his ‘old’ self: home on time and giving me all the attention again!
