Are We Alone?

That was the title on the latest National Geographic. It was talking about the vastness of the Universe. And no, I don't think so.

I took an out of town trip with a friend of mine and our 2 boys. We had alot of time to talk. Some how it got around to who is the boss in the marriage. He laughed and said that he didn't know any guy who had any significant control within his marriage. He thought that was even funnier since he and all his friends are Mormon and supposidly in patriarchal marriages. I half jokingly said that once the women figure out we want in their pants then it's all over for us.

I guess we aren't alone!!

My wife and I saw an ad today in the local paper for a pair of matching aprons. She laughed when she read the caption, it was for a mother and daughter to wear as they prepare the holiday dinner. She would like to change it to a husband and son as they prepare dinner as the mother and daughter sit in the living room having an enjoyable conversation with eachother. I too felt it could have at least stated for the husband and wife to wear as they entertained, but better if it was directed at only men.

I did not see the ad, but I share you wish. It is very appropriate.

A follow up to my post of Sunday, regarding the matching aprons meant for mother and daughter, not father and son. In todays comic section 12-4-09 in Blondie, Blondie says to her daughter that the dishwasher is broken, and her daughter says "what are we going to do". Blondie says 'Don't worry honey, we have a good backup system". The last box shows Dagwood and his son Alexander at the sink wearing frilly aprons doing all of the dishes. My wife loved that one, and actually I did too. WLM finally coming to the comic pages without making the husband look like a fool or out of touch with everything, what we normally see.

I admire your honesty in documenting your attempts at creating a WLM relationship with your wife over the last couple of years.
But why do you constantly complain about your wife's low libido? It is part of who she is so why can't you just accept it? It is not a fault of hers.
You don't appear to acknowledge that womens libidos are linked to their monthly cycles and are not constantly horny like men.

Is your dislike of the word 'submissive' down to the fact that it doesn't really describe you?

Sorry if this post sounds harsh but it is kindly meant.

We were in a WLM before we even knew what that was. I've been taking note of the relationships around me and almost all are wife led.
