Easing In

So, we've been at this a couple of days now and I'm still easing into it, trying to feel around and get an idea of what we both want out of it. It feels as if we are both leaning to a situation where we are living this lifestyle more often than not. She has stated that she wants to maintain some independence from time to time in order to do some of those things like ride, go out with friends, etc. I am fine with that. There are times where I am sure that we both want to do things independent of each other.

Right now the most difficult thing I'm trying to figure out are the rules for this. I've come up with two so far: She must keep her hair dyed red and her pubic hair trimmed. Beyond that, I do not know. There's a part of me that wants to be really restrictive, but I don't want there to be any resentment. But, if I am too easy then it sort of defeats the whole purpose of it. But, it all goes back to how deep we want to delve into it. So, something for us to figure out, or maybe for me to figure out.

I need to start keeping a ledger of sorts to keep track of those things that she has pleased me with and those that have made me upset. For example, I mentioned that it would be nice to have a bookcase in the bedroom and she took the initiative while cleaning today to put a set of shelves in there. That's definitely bonus points there. On the flip side, she has on a few occasions told me what to do, which has been the normal pattern of our life these past several years. I know that we both have habits and ways of doing things that we need to break if we are to embrace these roles.

Anyway, that's it for now. I will be back later.
