Update II

I have decided to post more on my thought as I go through the day.

As I mentioned before, Princess is going through a very difficult phase. Being out of job drains a lot of her self confidence. Every evening when I come home from work, we spend one or two our just talking. With every sentence I can feel her self esteem coming back to life. This is of course encouraging, but it only last for the evening. The next day, we start from scratch. And as you can imagine, discussing the same things and the same arguments every night can become quite unnerving. I find it very difficult.

Sexually, there is no way I can demand anything from her right now. We are intimate every other day, but often it feels like she is just doing me to do me a favor. The funny thing is that mostly she initiates sex. That's why it is so difficult to tell her to relax. She then feels rejected. I am not complaining about too much sex, but I have the impression that Princess would feel better with a bit less.

There are also positive developments. A few weeks ago I started to work out in a local gym to improve my health and my body shape. I am now going three times a week. Working our, or any type of physical activity has a tremendous effect on me. I am more awake, more enthusiastic and much more balanced than before. Princess now want to start working out as well and I am sure that this will be good for her as well. First, she will get out of the house and second, regular exercise will put her mind on something new and hopefully will push her out of her lethargy.

Your Princess wanting to work out in a gym is a very positive move.

I find your blog so interesting. As I read about your struggles (and Princess's) to find a balance in your marriage I sincerely empathized. I suppose I consider myself a switch since at times I feel very submissive and at others quite dominant. Perhaps if you and your wife both enjoy submission you could agree to share the dominance. Trade off responsibilities, each take a turn for a specified length of time. It would give each of you the chance to explore both facets of your personalities without feeling you have to make a long-term commitment to a role that doesn't feel completely fulfilling.
