A whole year…

Wow.  I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I started this blog.
I had no idea when I started this that we would be where we are today with our relationship.  In retrospect it seems crazy for even trying it.  But I was a bit confused at the time as I discovered things about [...]

Vanilla Quotient

I read a post the other day at Devastating Yet Inconsequential about service submission.  It goes along with something I’ve been thinking about lately.  It’s clear to me that my wife and I have a mostly vanilla relationship.  I was trying to put some kind of percentage on it, which would still be completely arbitrary, [...]

Great Friday cont./frustration understood

Last Saturday my wife took the kids to meet up with their friends at an Easter egg hunt.  They were gone most of the morning and afternoon and I was able to get a lot of cleaning done.  When they got home I took a break and we walked to a park and had some [...]

Great Friday!

Well, it was a pretty great weekend.  I didn’t get all my jobs done, but that’s OK because we chose to have family fun over work.  The house did look great, though.  Also, the arrival of our guest (one had to back out) was pushed back to Saturday night, so we were able to be [...]

Feeling complain-y

I talked briefly with my wife about the “shopping thank you”.  I mostly wanted to clear up any confusion over why I told her that she didn’t need to thank me for letting her buy clothes for herself.  I wanted her to know that I wasn’t asking her to be more bossy or more dominant.  [...]

A small misunderstanding?

My wife told me that she needed to go shopping for some new clothes.  Now, we’ve had this discussion many times over the years and I’ve always told her that she doesn’t need permission from me to buy new clothes.  I know she is frugal and that she needs “professional” attire.  I don’t.  I will [...]

Subtle Domination

Due to my having to work this weekend my wife and I spent very little time together, so not much happened.  Last night, though, we tried to make up for it by putting the kids to bed a little early and having dinner together without the kids (easier said than done).
Anyway, after dinner we talked [...]

Context

I’ve been thinking lately about how our arrangement has changed the context of things in our life.  For example, a few posts ago I talked about how my wife made a joke about calling her boyfriend.  This is an old joke we’ve both used many times in our lives together.  However, now that we are [...]

What a wonderful woman…

It seems like I go through cycles where sometimes I feel a more like a submissive and crave kinkiness more than other times.  It’s not that I don’t want to be in a WLM at any time, it’s just that I’m noticing that sometimes I definitely feel more submissive than others.
I seem to be in [...]
