Hey everyone, I just wanted to share how things are going with me and my SO with people who understand.

I've been going through a stressful time recently (work issues, health issues and so on). Normally my go to reaction when everything goes to crap is to blow up, have a tantrum and everything becomes the end of the world. This is terrible, infantile behaviour I know, and achieves precisely nothing.

Anyway, my man always says he's there for me and that everything will be ok, and we'll get through it together. So I decided to do something radical and...listen to him. Like, really trust him and let him take my stress away.

In response, he's been so amazing. When I'm sad and need a cry, he hugs me and holds me close until I stop crying, even if I try to push him away. When he can sense I'm in danger of being a stroppy bitch, he spanks my ass, and it seems to magically calm me down straight away.

Damn I'm lucky. And obviously I will be thinking of extra ways to show my gratitude ;). Over and out.
