Screen 9 of 24

What's even better is that my husband doesn't just talk -- he has proven himself time and time again. He endured a lot from his family because of me. I'm an educated, successful, caring woman, but that wasn't good enough for his mother. For one thing, I'm 35 and Donnie is 26. Also, I'm assertive and I like to dress provocatively. I have a fit, sexy figure (even after having a child) and I'm not ashamed of it.Yes, I'm dominant, but I'm also kind and loving toward my husband and son. Soon after I met Donnie's family, he let them know, kindly but firmly, that I was to be treated with respect. Since then they've tried to be gracious, and so have I. We've never had any problems and we get along great.

I have the best of both worlds. In public, my husband defends me and is my champion. At home, he's totally submissive顺从 — willing to obey. He does nearly all the housework, in addition to working full time. He pampers and indulges me constantly. I believe his attitude toward me has had a beneficial effect on my teenage son (from a previous relationship). He had been developing a misogynistic attitude, but since I married Donnie, my son has become more thoughtful and empathetic, and he has been helping Donnie with some of the chores. He's doing wonderfully in school and he seems to thrive on the stability and peace in our home. He seems ok with our matriarchal household.
