Screen 6 of 27

She has outgrown me in many areas, especially in recent years. She was an attractive girl in college but she has blossomed into a gorgeous and successful businesswoman. To contrast that, I have lost most of my hair, gained too much weight, and have hit upon some down times in my career. None of this has been good for my self-image or my marriage.

My wife has been supportive of me and her encouragement is what has gotten me out of bed most days. She motivates me to forge ahead and without her driving force, my financial situation would have been much worse. Socially, we were growing in different directions and this was taking a toll on our relationship. About a year ago, we took a vacation together and used the quiet time to talk about our marriage and our goals. She confessed to me that she had been thinking that perhaps we were growing apart and perhaps we should consider separating. I told her that I needed her now more than ever and that I would do whatever she wanted me to do in order to save our marriage. As we opened up to each other, we each confessed acts of unfaithfulness. She told me that she had a recent extra-marital affair with a gentleman that lasted for six months. I confessed to her that over the last ten years of our marriage, I had been seeing and paying a Professional Mistress女主人 — a woman who leads a submissive partner for domination.
