Subject: I’m a rule breaker
Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m a 57 year old married woman but I’m at my wits end with my husband. He’s ex-military and wants me to do everything his way. We have been married for 22 years but since he’s retired, his full-time job is controlling me and the kids. I have always been the brains and the breadwinner of our family and I think that bothers him now that he has nothing to do daily. He calls me a rule breaker, but honey, I make the rules. It’s hard for me to take him seriously when he’s shouting commands and he doesn’t pay any bills in the house. He contributes money but he’s never paid the house note, electricity bill or even the cable bill. I even pay his cell phone bill so he needs to tread lightly with me. I was at work the other day and my husband called, yelling because the cable went out. I told him to call the cable company and my co-worker could hear me yelling. My co-worker came to my office and closed my door and asked me what was wrong. I unleashed all of my pent-up frustration and told him everything. He suggested we go to his house for lunch so he could give me a massage to help relieve my tension. He’s a massage therapist on the side, by the way. I told him I needed a massage and sex. He was shocked, but said he was all for it and we rushed out of the office. This man was magical in the bedroom and I left his house smelling like lavender oil and Creed cologne. The whole time we were sexing, he called me a rule breaker and said he was going to punish me. I love being a rule breaker now and I can’t wait to get punished again. I know right from wrong but am I not justified in doing this since I’m being mistreated at home
