Screen 5 of 17

She started to explain that she was very attracted to me, but that she held strong beliefs that a woman was superior to a man and that she simply could not let herself be in a relationship unless the man would submit to her. I was stunned, not just because of her beliefs but also I had no idea that she had feelings for me.

She started to tell me about her philosophy and to tell me about how she could never be with a man unless he was her complete servant and respected her as his superior. She went on to say that because of her feelings for me, it would be best that I move out, if I could not accept her terms. I had till the end of the month to make a decision (four days) but after that I would have to go. I was completely lost when I left the dinner table and the first thing I could think of was going out to a bar.

The more I thought about it, the more exciting it was. I went from being completely puzzled about it to starting to desire it. I just could not get it out of my mind. We had some good times over those past few months but I didn’t understand how strongly she felt towards me, and I guess that I was just so confused about the way she had told me I didn’t know what to do. It was all very strange.

I finally realized that this woman was the anchor that my life was missing. I needed stability and accountability, just like what you write about. Needless to say, I decided to stay.
