It's been a while since my last post, so here's a big update.
Previously I was working as an entrepreneur. I wanted to set my own schedule and be my own "girl-boss". I worked as crazy hours as my boyfriend who is also self-employed for over 6 years. He told me he supports me and would be with me through this part of my life.
Well, after 2 years of my go-getter lifestlye my boyfriend asked me if I was happy because he could tell I wasn't. I confessed I'm happiest when I'm taking care of the home, baking or cooking, making our space a nice place to live and reading a good book at the end of the day.
I was scared that he wanted someone who could match his energy. Scared of how our relationship would change when I admited this. To my surprise, he just wanted me to be happy. He said he loves when I have food for him when he gets home and me making our space homey makes him want to rush home back to me.
We decided I'd get a regular job for now while he's building his business to get us our own place and start our life (engagement/marriage) which just wasn't possible when we were both "getting it out the mud".
A couple months later, and he told me in a moment of tenderness that he just wants to take care of me. In the months while I was finding a job (the market is insane for my industry) he refused to let me buy anything ever. He'd even get "upset" when I'd bring out cash and say "I'm taking care of you. Stop it."
I feel so blessed. I now am employed, but we have such a different dynamic than before. I feel like a princess in every day life. He takes such good care of me, and I him of course. The laundry is done. There is always food or treats. And I don't worry about a single bill or payment. Obviously, things will change again when I have a job, but he confessed to me last night he loves my submission. He finds it sexy and he loves when our roles are cemented in this way. He said he loves that he knows I am confident and can take charge but I trust him to do it and look at him with adoration.
All this to say, create the life you want with your person now. Establish the dynamic now. You'll see if you have the man of your dreams.
I'm blessed to say I absolutely do!
