Real Life Stories - March 2010 (Best of Elise series)

Screen 7 of 25

Her friend laughed nervously and then excused herself to use the bathroom. As she went through the kitchen, my list of maid女仆 — a woman servant's duties was clearly visible on the refrigerator. There are twenty chores listed that I am to do everyday and another 18 that must be done once a week. The days of the week are laid out and I check a box whenever I complete a chore. The following is written at the bottom of the form: "Slave奴隶 — a person kept in total obedience collar项圈 — a band worn around the neck (locked) and maid女仆 — a woman servant's uniform to be worn at all times when doing chores. If Mistress女主人 — a woman who leads a submissive partner is not at home immediately after work, slave奴隶 — a person kept in total obedience maid女仆 — a woman servant in training calls and leaves a message from the home phone that he is in collar项圈 — a band worn around the neck and in uniform."

My wife realized the form was on the refrigerator door and grabbed it when Beth was out of sight. She had no idea whether or not Beth had seen the form.

After some small talk, Beth said "You know, you and Dennis seem very happy." (People tell us this all the time). Well, I guess the time was right because Diane (my wife) said "You know it takes more than being in love to have a good relationship." Beth wanted to hear more.

Diane told Beth that we never fought because she was in total control of the relationship and that she made the decisions and that I did as I was told. She also said that since she didn't like doing housework, she made me do it all so that she would be free to do more interesting things. Beth didn't quite believe Diane at first.
