blizz: thanks for posting this, it definitely did make me smile. it's really cute, and most of the reality is pretty accurate. although it seems that the couple in the reality section has made some unwise financial decisions that's made their lives more difficult. the take home message is definitely clear, be realistic in your expectations of each other, and realize that life will sometimes get in the way of your D/s relationship. Be flexible and keep the lines of communication open, and you can still enjoy it.
