Thanks Suitedup, Rj3 and Livn for lending and ear. It's so comforting to know that there are so many caring people on the board.
Well this morning I was feeling a bit insecure given the comment that H made. I guess I was searching for some sort of reassurance and, since things had been going really well up until last night, I still had confindence in some areas. So here's what I did:
H drove me to my follow up lasik appt at 8:30. When we came back home he said that he wanted to go back to bed (he's been sleeping a lot lately...I've attributed it to his ongoing depression). He went into the guest room and shut the door so he could smoke (he's still doing that too). After about 15 mins I put on the lingerie that he picked out for me on Valentine's Day. I walked into the room and said, "Do you know what this outfit is for?" He looked up and said, "yes". I asked "Who picked it out?" He replied "I did." I asked again, "Would you like to pick out another?" He said, "Yes". So far so good.
So I decided to indulge him in his favorite pasttime (I mentioned his disciplinary fetish in an earlier thread). I started to scold him and tell him that I didn't like his behavior in the last couple of days. I told him that he was very naughty and this type of behavior must stop. I will not tolerate it. He replied to all of this with a submissive, "Yes Dear". I prodeeded to spank him with our new English wooden hairbrush and I continued to scold him. I told him that I will not tolerate him returning to the old behavior and I will be watching him very closely to make sure he is an obedient husband. This continued for a long time and I made him apologize and then we ML .
I have to admit that I initiated this interaction as a type of temperature check and I do feel a little better right now. However, I know that I still have my work cut out for me. I think that we need to start addressing some of the unresolved issues.
He's still agreeable to going away next weekend, so I gave him a deadline of this evening for him to pick the place. I am still determined to have an A with H so that no one else will.
