I walked into our second session at the marriage counselor, behind my Wife, already a defeated man. This was a different office than our last visit. My Wife sat on a huge overstuffed chair that almost looked like a throne and I sat on a stool beside her. It made me think of Queens and their handmaidens, with the queen on her throne and handmaidens at their side ready to serve their mistress. In reality, I think that is how I felt, there to serve my Queen.
The counselor asked my wife if she liked this office, and my wife replied in the affirmative. She then said she used this office for couples who knew who led the marriage and this seating arrangement helped enforce the idea of who was in charge.
"So tell me what has transpired in your relationship since your last visit?"
My Wife said, "I don't know about wimpy here but I believe we have made great progress. If you remember on our last visit he claimed he would do anything to save our marriage and I have been testing him to just see how far he will go."
" And you" she said looking at me, "What are your thoughts on how your marriage has progressed?"
" I cannot believe the humiliation and degradation I have gone through. I have to stay at home and do the housework and the laundry while she goes out to be with her lover."
My Wife said, "If you're unhappy you can move out." I fell to my knees in front of my wife, begging her not to say things like that, and that she knew I could never leave her. This made her chuckle.
"Now let's wait on decisions like that until latter. Now stand up and let us see just unhappy you are."
As I stood the counselor came over and just undid my pants and let them fall to my ankles.
" And what is this, something new? Are you wearing 'big girl panties'? You don't seem to be unhappy, look at this little erection you have."
