From Peggy M:

Dear Elise, I recently came across your web site and have been fascinated by what I have read. It has also raised a number of questions about the lifestyle which has evolved between me and my husband. I am certainly a strong and powerful woman, and have dominated my husband for more than 30 years. Unlike much of what I have read on your web site it did not start at my husband’s request, so I'm not sure how you would categorize it.

My dominance of my husband, Paul, began at the encouragement of a gir friend of mine. Shortly after the birth of our second child I began to feel trapped by all the responsibilities. Donna, a new acquaintance quickly became my best friend and ally, and suggested that I needed to get out more. She and I had gone out together a few times, but just shopping. Then one night we went to a bar where we met some of her other friends. I had never been to a bar without my husband but I found it very exciting. I got home about 3:00 am and Paul was waiting for me wanting to know where I'd been. I had apparently had too much to drink and wasn't really in the mood for an argument, so I told him we'd discuss it in the morning.
