The title is a quote from the movie “Mallrats” - love that movie!! We like to quote movie lines… it’s something we’ve just always done.
In my last post, I didn’t really want to go into what’s pissed me off because I was still processing it myself. Sometimes writing it out helps to clear things up and other times it all comes out a big jumbled mess, so I decided to keep the post short and sweet until I figured it all out in my head.
What has me upset is - I want more from my slavery, I want to give more. I want to FEEL owned even during the vanilla times when I’m chasing an active toddler while also dealing with a crying baby. I feel so frazzled during these times that it would be so nice if I could feel like something else besides a frumpy mom. It’s great when the kids go to bed, he comes home from work and it’s just the two of us free to be who we are Master/slave. Most of the time it’s great to have to crawl around the house, naked to get things for him and he enjoys watching me walk back on my knees bringing it to him. Sometimes he makes me push things to him using only my nose. I love humiliation play and I want more. Sometimes more doesn’t seem like an option, he seems hesitant and I now I know why.
I would love to have the kind of domination in my life where my wants/needs/desires didn’t particularly matter. I would love it if he would/could beat it into my head that his wants/needs/desires come before mine. I would love to have a certain level of fear of him. Not the kind of fear where I’m afraid for my life or that he’d maim me, but the kind of fear that is like “Do as I say - or else!!” Sometimes and though we are getting better at it, the “or else” isn’t there. When it is, it’s usually not what I pictured in my fantasy. I actually started believing he was just too nice of guy and that my world was crumbling because he wasn’t as in to all of this as I am. I was wrong.
Today was a bad day - I stomped around and acted out and nothing was said or done. Yes, the kids were right there and they are a large part of why my day was going to hell. Yes, he can’t very well slam me against the wall right there in front of them and yell at me about my place in our dynamic, but sometimes I really wish he would do something - anything. I want him to take my submission from me. I’m not intentionally trying to take my power back, but if it’s not being used and it’s just flopping around like fish, then yeah - guess I do. I have a tendency to fall back in to vanilla wife mode too and want to win the fight. I want to be right. It’s a holdover from when we were partners - you’ve heard the saying “If momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”. That was me. It’s a behaviour I haven’t learned to let go of and I really do want to. I resist, but that’s when I want him to TAKE the submission from me. I can’t give it up, I’m fighting to win and even though I know I should, that it’s my place to be wrong (even if I’m not), submission is soooooooooo hard for me when I’m angry.
Which brings me to what I learned from him tonight. The reason he won’t push me further or harder, even though I’ve made it clear I want him to is because I’m bipolar. He’s afraid to push me because he’s afraid of what reaction I will have to it. My track record is not good. I’ve come unglued many, many times - I shoved a shopping cart into someone once at Walmart and for that I’m labeled for life as a hothead. In my defense, I was not on medication at the time and now I am. Yes, I still have episodes, but they aren’t nearly as bad or as violent. Doesn’t matter. I still have episodes and that’s the problem. Whenever I’m in a pissy mood and stomping around the house feeling all icky inside - it’s chalked up to being bipolar. I don’t like it. It’s way too easy to hide behind. I could excuse any behaviour I have and the reason I disobeyed any rule to being bipolar and I don’t like it. I don’t want or like the label of being unstable. It’s not who I really am. He knows me and he knows it’s not always bipolar related, but sometimes maybe it is. Often I don’t see it when I’m having an episode and only see it after he points it out to me.
I don’t know how to get past this. How do we reach a new level in our relationship if he won’t take me to it because I’m bipolar? All this just sucks. I understand his concerns and his reservations about it. This is why he’s in charge - he’ll see a line in the sand and ponder it for a bit deciding which way to proceed and I’ll see the same line and if left up to me, jump right over it because I’m the girl who will leap before she looks.
I need to calm down. Hell, maybe I’m in an episode right now, lol It’s not up to me to direct what road we take or if we ever cross that line. This is his show to run however he wants and I know all that, but still I can’t stop the ache for more, more, MORE! I want him to shove me down, beat me, hurt me, make me cry and brainwash me out of my thoughts and into his.
*heavy sigh*
One day - I believe that maybe one day my mental illness won’t be an issue because we will have found a way to either conquer it or to go around it. God I hope so. I hate this slave angst I’ve got now and I want him to fix it. I want him to fix me, but he can’t. He can’t control my disorder. I sure as hell can’t control it (I’ve tried countless times and failed every single time). The only thing that can control it are two stupid little pills I take three times a day.
Alright….. letting go. I’m going to work on letting go and stop trying to drive the car. Maybe we’ll reach a new plateau and maybe we won’t. I should be thankful for what I do have and stop looking over the the fence for greener grass.
