We have all our bank accounts and credit cards in our joint names and I would never spend on inessentials for myself without her permission. She decides what she wants to buy for herself, but leaves me to keep track of what the family budget can afford. This gives her the independence to spend our money as she chooses within overall limits. I am proud that my wife has lots of independent interests inside and outside the home and she is often out enjoying her hobby, singing in choirs, relaxing at her gym and leisure club or going away for weekends with her friends. I fit in by having her meals ready according to her schedule; helping her pack and unpack and ensuring her gym kit is clean and ready for when she needs it. I am trying to feel less jealous and threatened when other men who are not sexually impotent seek to have ostensibly platonic friendships with my wife. I am sure they must find her immensely attractive as I do. Though I know my wife loves only me, nevertheless, I feel vulnerable knowing that I am a spent force if it ever became a competition with another man for her favours. At least this keeps me on my toes and vigilant in my efforts to please her and maintain her approval and wellbeing. I think you would have to admit that my wife has me under her thumb, just where she wants me, loving and adoring her and striving ever more to please her as her slave奴隶 — a person kept in total obedience. May I sign off as just a humble admirer of yours.
