It seems the lifestyle is moving more towards kink. It seems the lifestyle is more about sex than anything else. I suppose it may be easier to get laid and move on to the next. I can see if one is not looking for a relationship it could be a good thing. The upside is there is no responsibility or care.
Someone left a message stating there was no way in maintaining a relationship such as ours without being mentally ill. There was no way we could have a productive life and make anything of ourselves.
That statement is 100% incorrect as there are millions who live a D’s or M’s relationship. I can say I’ve not met a couple who lives as we do. I’m not saying they are not out there, I’ve just never met.
Speaking of being successful, I have 14 months and I can retire, yes at the age of 62 and be comfortable. However I am about to throw a wrench into it and maybe not retire.
It has been a life long dream to own a Bar, why? I’ve always wanted that cheers Tv show feeling, kinda like one big happy family. Good service, good food and awesome music and I’ve found just the bar.
There is a catch though, Arianna wants no part of it and I completely understand. She left her place of employment after 23 years so she could start the second part of her life as far as careers. I will also admit Arianna also thought that I would never be approved for financing on my own hahahaha.
I had two options and the first fell through because, get this. The older couple in their late 70’s for some reason never filed taxes. Why? Who does that when owning a business?
The land the bar sits on is worth more than the asking price. So I would be buying land that just happens to have a bar sitting on it with a liquor license.
The look on Ariannas face when i produced a email saying approved. The look of shock was priceless as she just stared at me. Not only was I approved for the asking price but a years worth of capital. Total shock.
Much the same when 6 years ago I approached Arianna about buying a home, she said Master we cannot afford and we do not have 20% down. At that time we were paying nearly 3.000 a month with utilities.
You should never tell me I cannot do something, never. So I found a house and at first Arianna did not like until we looked at it. Then again, Master we cannot afford and the 20% down.
I went to work and one day I told Arianna we had a phone conference with a broker. Again the look on her face was priceless. The broker, well the house appraised 7.500 hundred more than the asking price so there will be no down payment because it was being financed through USDA and no closing cost because we figured in the 7500 into the loan. Again that fucking look. Oh but there is more because I love those looks, homeowners insurance, 1% deductible hahaha, again that look. We walked out of closing with the previous owner handing over 2500.
How much out of pocket if I purchase the bar? How about 2500.
You can do anything you want, you can achieve anything in life you want, all you need is the want and the drive . Although Arianna and I are successful, we are far from being rich. We enjoy life and do pretty much anything we want to.
Arianna has the degree and I have a degree in street smarts. I dropped out of school in the 6th grade to help support my family and so I could by clothes. At 15 I worked full time in a cotton mill making 2.85 a hour, the minimum wage at that time was 2.35. 40 hours made me 114.00 a week 10 hours over time gave me a extra 42.00, around 156.00 a week which in the late 70’s was pretty good money. I joined the US Army at 17 and made a lot less with grossing 189.00 a month.
I apologize I tend to get off topic so just bare with me.
Again you can do anything you want to in life, there is nothing or anyone holding anyone back. The one thing I tell people is your credit means everything and I mean everything. Getting approval for 500K for a bar was mostly based on my credit and credit card usage. Your car insurance as much as it’s wrong is based on your credit, your down payment on a new car and your interest rate is based on your credit. Your deposit for utilities is based on your credit.
I remember being able to walk into a bank and borrow without a credit pull, yea that was a long, long time ago. Walk in the bank and wave at the VP and say Frank I need 7.000, I’m going over to bobs and eat some breakfast, I’ll be back in about a hour . Yea 20 years old and the loan was giving based on my reliability and my word.
Ariannas step brother is going through trade school to be a welder. I’m thinking 25.000 for trade school while it’s not bad there are avenues he could take and it would be free. There is a large theme park here who will pay a 100% of school and start out at 21.00 a hour and top out at 35.00 or so.
Again your credit is everything, and if you are in a slump you can fix it without having to pay anyone to fix it for you, it just takes a little work.
Which brings me back to Ownership.
It’s not about credit it’s about credibility, honesty and keeping your word. It’s about treating your submissive or slave with the upmost respect and dignity.
Once they move in, let them make any changes to the house they want to. This is to not only build confidence within the relationship but it gives them a peace of mind knowing they belong.
We as Dominants have to give back double. We should be available 24/7 365, not only to support but to communicate. Anything less will turn into a failure.
I’ve heard from other subs and slaves mostly in LD relationships they would text and it could be days before they hear back. That is unacceptable, it takes 5 seconds to respond back. This tells you the submissive, you are not a priority. You are not his number one.
I have a friend who brought the lifestyle up to his wife and she agreed to give it a try. However he is fixated on just punishing. This is from a lack of experience. Now he wants to add a second submissive and he does not have his home under control.
The Master trains to fit his needs and wants, while we provide the needs to the slave, if all the needs are provided, there will be no wants and if there is, wants are earned not given
I’ve mentioned the Movie The Stepford Wives before, even as a teen I was blown away at the thought of being able to change someone into something you want. I started young in the lifestyle without even knowing
Arianna and I live a micromanaged relationship, that was her only need when we were negotiating our contract. By doing just that, I get anything in return I want . Our sex life is based on free to use, meaning anytime and place while she’s doing anything. Could be cooking, cleaning , on the phone or even sleeping. There are exceptions, such as she’s not feeling well , I know when she’s out of it from working or maybe the flu or something, I do take that into consideration.
It’s important that the submissive understands the negotiation process. It’s also important to let them speak when negotiating. It’s also ok for them to say no to something you need. When the word no comes up you the Dominant have to decide if you can let it be a no or just explain she’s not the one for you. If you agree to go along with the no, that is the end of the conversation. You agreed to mark a need off of your list and you have to stick with it.
Something that I found funny, I was called a Misogamist by someone in the lifestyle. At first I was taken back by the word but this came from someone who can’t even maintain a relationship. I treat Arianna with the upmost respect as I do other females, not just in the lifestyle. It is not men who build the home, it is the female. It is the submissive who keeps the home in check. I pickup behind myself, I do most of the cooking and dishes. I have never called Arianna names out of anger.
It was not until late 2020 we had our first real argument. We were both working full time jobs and had a karaoke business on the side. We had Covid really bad and both of us were out of work for about 13 weeks. The hours took its toll on us so it began. I was also taking a medication called Gabapentin that made me angry, which I no longer take. 8 years went by before our first argument, 8 years. You should never raise your voice or call names out of anger and then expect them to lay on their back.
Those who criticize the way we live, only do so because they wish they could be like us.
