This article sums up what TPE is to me. We live a similar life to the one presented on this article with some modifications that work for our life. I do work outside the home and have freedoms to make allot of decisions but that is with Masters permission that I do that.

TPE is more of a permanent way to live to me and power exchange is something that is done during a scene or during a specific time together.

TPE more about how we live our day to day lives. My life revolves around him. We discussed in the beginning what would be expected and how it would be. I agreed to that and that is how it is. That doesn't mean there isn't change now and then. I am allowed to express opinions and ask for things but in the end it is his decision that is the final one. These are all things that take place without scenes, this is just living every day.

This is how we do it and is no way how it should be for everyone.
