It has been ten months since we started this arrangement and it has worked out great. I love her as much today as I have during any time of our marriage. I know that she does not view me as her husband but rather as her submissive顺从 — willing to obey. I am not always crazy about that but I know that this arrangement was the only way we could have continued staying together. This way she is still in my life, I get from her what I use to pay for and she gets the satisfaction of dominating me while primarily living the life of a single career woman.

Elise's response:

Your wife does sound like a brilliant woman. Your marriage was headed for divorce and the two of you were headed for separate lives. I would have recommended some marriage counseling but obviously your wife figured that would not have worked in your marriage. She wanted to go in a different direction with her life but she still valued your companionship and friendship.
