Ok, I guess that is what people do here isn't it?

TBH I can't remember really how we got into this mindset, but I think things probably started to crystalize the day my fianceé (who is a bit of a newshound) sent me this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4996410.stm

Up until then I used to give her the occasional (fully clothed) playful spank, but the news item became an 'in-joke' for us, to be candid it did seem a little amusing (apologies to anyone who may think it offensive, it is not intended to be) and we'd refer to each other as Master and slave from then on, all this of course done with a fair bit of humour and much love.

In the past few months I have grown to like the little bits of sub behaviour she displays, all the more so because she is educated, independent and not at all 'needy' ( in the manner of Brigette Jones), so sub behaviour would seem to be the antithesis of everything she has striven for in recent years (plus she did study feminism at University though her interpretation has never been the sterotypical man-hating philosophy we hear so much about). Likewise, my background has been something of that of the "modern man" which tends to preclude dominant behaviour, so I'm still working on letting go of that.

Since I joined the forum yesterday it occured to me that I should make more of a concerted effort to 'take up the mantle' and develop a stronger Dom-style behaviour. In a phone call today I did this, somewhat pushing the envelope verbally. My fianceé's responses were very encouraging, with no prompting she referred to her future with me as being one "in service" there was no tongue-in-cheek-ness detectable, which makes me want to push the envelope futher this weekend (we only see each at weekends as we live over 100 miles apart)

All of which adds up to a very exciting prospect for the beginning of our married life (July 21st)
