Well He is my husband for starters, has been since we were practically still children. He is the love of my life, and our lives were falling apart, we were drifting apart, and we both hated it. We started learning about ourselves as individuals and us as a couple and came to the conclusion that 27/7 power exchange was for us, and we were VERY right. We've never looked back and been happy again ever since =). Children involved, yes, we have 4 boys ranging from ages 2-10, so it is not always so very appropriate for Him to Master me in front of them. i still comply with every request He makes and treat Him like the King of the house like a respectfull wife, but of course there are just some things better kept behind closed doors because children just shouldn't know them. Specifically setting Him off? Pick a day i'll give you a different answer, the house, the kids, the everyday little anoyances of life I guess. For some reason He has always sweated the small stuff, my old way of dealing with this was TOTAL RETREATE!!! Once frusterated, He just is. No one can do anything right or cheer him up. So i would back off, not speaking to or doing for Him untill he was Himself again. Now with the 24/7 power exchange in place, He won't/can't let me back off anymore. If anything He gets grumpy and expects MORE of me. We have sat and had a rational discussion about this (leading to my posing this to others) in wich He told me he knows it's not fair and that He's not so much playing his part in those moments but that in the heat of those moments He can't see that anymore, and for me to back off or start refusing him would just make things worse. Problem is that it WOUNDS me to not be able to please Him anymore, not for lack of trying. i nearly bend over backwords to the breaking point to try to bring Him out of it, or follow His orders to the very letter, and He responds to me with negitivity... which makes for mixed messages and POISION feelings in a D/s relationship. We simply don't know what to do with this as it is the only emotionaly charged problem we still have/found in this dynamic. Oh and yes He is a member here.... herdomsir. He was just at work and asked me to handle both =)
