Advancing Forward Part Two

After scrubbing the house for Thanksgiving on Saturday morning, Melissa and I spent the rest of the day together. It was lovely simply being with her, working by her side, and following her directions. One major benefit of MC has been opening my eyes to how intelligent, capable, and competent my wife is. As my inflated male ego yields more to her, I am discovering that I quite enjoy taking her lead. Now, I wouldn’t say we had ever considered a relationship where the wife leads; Melissa probably hasn’t either. But, confession time: this idea is beginning to feel right for me. This might be MC’s greatest gift. Looking back honestly at our years together, I realize she has been correct in her judgments and ideas more often than not. There have been many occasions when I should have just listened to her and done it her way. How humbling! She is nine years younger than me. I hold a college degree while she does not. I’ve traveled the globe whereas she rarely leaves our hometown. Yet, in this marriage, she proves to be the stronger leader. I’ve been grappling with this realization for weeks. I am far from passive in public; I have led teams of men before. But it turns out she is better at leading us as a couple than I am. And I’m starting to enjoy it. Lately, I find myself asking her if she minds me doing certain things, which would never have happened before. Before pursuing my own wants, I now ask what I can do for her first. Last night, even without thinking, I asked if there was anything specific she wanted done the next day. I’m not sure of her perspective since she seems to be accepting this shift gracefully. Perhaps as I drift naturally in this direction, so is she? Then Sunday evening…she kindly let me edge repeatedly for about thirty minutes while we lay in bed watching a movie. It was highly erotic stroking my cock and having a finger placed inside myself while she caressed my chest. At one point, I glanced over to see her absorbed in the film. I started to tell her how hot it felt being so hard and close to an orgasm with her barely paying attention. Sensing she didn’t want me to break her concentration again, she said, “Be quiet and enjoy yourself.” Soon enough, she noticed I was on the verge and instructed me to stop lying there until my cock softened (which took twenty minutes). She is such a wonderful wife! Michael
