Tuesday, March 11, 2008Rule Number Seven7. You are my houseboy. You will assume responsibility for the kids and your regular chores when you are home. That includes morning preparations, evening preparations, dishes, vacuuming, pet and childcare. You will not bitch if your wife chooses to help you. Consider her help a gift from your goddess. You will serve me by bringing me tea and coffee, meals or anything else I require. You want to hear a secret? Mostly this is here for pet's benefit, because he likes to be the houseboy LOL. But this rule is for me, too. I can refer to this anytime I feel a twinge of guilt or a hesitation to make one more demand on pet's time. Because he signed this contract--he knew full well what he was accepting and promising when he did so. We discussed the changes and rules together at length, with his input being just as equal and important as my own. So I can remind myself when I'm feeling worried that this D/s thing is just not fair that, while I'm right it's not fair, it is exactly what we both want. A fair life wouldn't work for us. Or, to see it in another light, we do live a fair life, we just take up different parts of the equation than most people do. We both get what we need (when it works) and we both feel loved and cherished. Isn't that what most people want out of a relationship? I'm quite glad to have one solitary space in the world where I can be truly myself without limits or expectations or conformity, and ALSO to have one person who totally gets me and loves me the way I am. He is truly a blessing from MY goddess :) |
