Sure has been a while. We have had some progress in our time together, and we have had some real setbacks. I lost my job earlier this year (I know that I am not the only one....). The result has been dramatic in terms of my time, our money, and the dynamics of Enchantress and Her ranger.
Money is ok, but we are being VERY careful at this time. I have gained the benefit of having a lot more time to be with Her, which we both enjoy very much. At the same time, I have had some issues dealing with the concept of not being the primary provider at this time. She has been amazing and supportive. Since we both know that All of the money in our life is Her Money, there is not an issue of sharing. She makes the decisions on finances, and I do most of the legwork.
We have been back to the boats a few times in the last 6 months, but never have duplicated the win we had back in December. No surprise there. The most difficult thing for me is to know that we will be fine and eventually this job loss will end up being a great positive in my life and more importantly in our life together.
One thing that I have struggled with is the concept of husband vs slave in my relationship with Enchantress. She has asked me many times over the last year which I consider myself primarily. I answer honestly that I first consider myself to be Her slave, and then to be Her husband. I know that is true in my heart, but in our life together, we have a LOT of daily maintenance and family and freinds things which seem "ordinary" or "vanilla". Sometimes I find it difficult to rise above that and continue in my journey towards Her in my life as Her possession.
Lately I have had the thought that I can not be a good husband for Enchantress, unless I am first a good slave. Being a good slave means to let go my concerns to the degree possible. and focus on Her Goals, Her Life, Her Well-Being, and to be obedient and cheerful (or "sweet natured" as She calls it). This realization has helped me tremendously. One of the repercussions is that I feel re-dedicated to my goal to support My Queen, to Love Her unconditionally, and to surrender more and more easily each day.
