There are days when trying to hold everything together just
gets too much, today is one of them. Bobbie and me are going through some rough
roads together, bickering with our differences on how things should be and how
they really are. I want to lead her down a different path than the one we are
now I want to spread my wings and I want to fly to soar a bit higher than she
does now and as cold as it may sound at this moment I feel like she is holding
me back.
As in the previous post in Harmony, were I was talking about
moving at the same speed being as one and Expatiations where we are on two
different planes of thought and experience. Well the movement has shifted and we are out
of alignment moving ever close and farther apart depending on what heated discussion
we are on and I know who is at fault.
Not Bobbie’s she has no idea as of this writing what is going on. She is
content, happy where we are so as you guessed, I am the culprit who is in error
and I haven’t found my way out of the maze of want and wishing. They are
keeping me from looking for the right formula to get ourselves back into
alignment so we have gone backwards a few (a lot) of steps.
My expatiations are rising and I am getting antsy, I got the
itch that I want more I am hungry to explore new things, I think and breathe
DD. While this is going on I have been distant, I have gone to my faraway
place, a safe haven, a place that I go to think, I lose myself in thoughts,
incomplete writings that will never see their full potential and as you, my
lady friends in blog land call it “way over thinking it.” I think that this is
something like what you women go through when you want more spankings or your
HOH to take more control over you?
Although Bobbie does
not know about my mood she can sense it, she knows something is up because she
knows me so well. So, I know I have to tell her what is going on because I
would expect the same from her to openly tell me what is going on.
I can picture the expression on her face when I tell her
what is going on with me, the first reaction is going to be that it is her
fault and then she is going to say but I can try harder. How can one fix
something when it is not their fault? I cannot nor will I accept her to try
anything that she is not ready for what kind of man would I be to take
advantage of the situation and possibly destroying the greatest gift she has
given me her trust.
So by the time you read this Bobbie will know what is
bothering me and we will talk about it and probably even come up with a solution on how to correct
our my free fall.
I know how to fix it, I have to get my head out a**, quit wishing it were different because it isn’t and I have to come back
to reality that we are still growing and start walking slow just like a little child
would. Then as we grow into this TTWD, we will be able to run with the big
kids. The most important thing is that or arms won’t be so tired stretching out
to the max while holding onto one another and keeping our eyes on each other so we
don’t get totally lost.

Bob I hope things went well for y'all tonight. I hope Bobbie realizes how lucky she is to have a man that desires nothing more than to lead her. I guess the same advice goes for you....baby steps ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy
DeleteIt is hard to take my own advice go slow, baby steps act like the slowdki's the turtles form comcast comercial but there are days when I want I think I want to fly free but when I now think about it how free is it when you are flying by yourself with no one to share the view with?
Bob
We sometimes go walking together. I'm not as fast and I hate walking up hill. He will walk on ahead and then stop to admire the view while I catch him up. Sometimes the second I reach him he greets me then turns and carries on up leaving me alone again, climbing higher. Sometimes he waits and has a drink and snack ready when I get there and we sit together looking down and chatting. Sometimes we climb together hand in hand.
ReplyDeleteIt is not unusual to walk at a different pace, you just need to be willing to stop and let the other catch up.
Hi Janey
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful what you wrote and it said it all.
Bob
I love what Janey said....so i will just add...good luck, and remember you are in this together.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Hi Abby
DeleteI like the way Janeexplaineded it I can picture it alhappeningng imy headad and as I stop waiting for her to catch up looking at her smiling face and that is what I should concentratete on is that smile making sure it never leaves her.
Bob
Just keep moving forward, it will all work out the way it is meant to be.
ReplyDeleteThanks sunny
DeleteI am and you are right it will correct itself soon I hope :)
Bob
Hey Bob,
ReplyDeleteI think you said it all in your last paragraph. You are still growing and it's not unusual to be out of step with each other, especially early on. As Janey said, you need to be able to slow down/stop and let the other catch up.
I think there is a danger in trying to move too fast, because it really is something that evolves over time and we process and learn and grow as we go.
Hugs,
Roz
Hi Roz
Deletethat is so true Roz is to go slow. That is my mantra no slow and steady
Bob
Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your headed in a good direction. Communication and sharing our true feelings is hard and the most important thing in DD. you wanting to share how your feeling with her is so great. Your wife is very lucky!
Kim
Hi R&
DeleteWe are in the talking stage and things are getting back to normal I think I am the lucky one for her agreeing to do this with me :)
Bob
I think it's great how much you want to do right by her. I also wanted to share that even though it's not right to force someone into something, sometimes as TiH wives, we do need a bit of a shove in the right direction though. And as long as it is done for our best interest, or in the best interest of the marriage. I hope that the talk went well, and that you were able to get everything out in the air, and even if a resolution isn't complete yet, I hope that you made good steps towards one. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Es May
DeleteWish I could say that was the case but sadly it wasn't so and that is why I backed off
We are talking now and progressing forward again at a comfortable pace for her
Bob
I hear you Bob. I know I have/do feel the same way at times. It's tough living with that yearning for what may never be. As you aleady know, the best thing is just to have a sit-down and be totally honest about what you're feeling. That Bobbie has agreed to even try this new way is huge. I know some here in blogland don't even get that. I think as long as you have a partner at least willing to try DD, there is hope. Hope your talk went well and you reached an agreement to move forward, just a little. Slow and steady wins, right?
ReplyDeleteHello Queenie
DeleteYou have said it all it is huge that Bobbie is even doing this being that she was pure vanilla before this all started and I do thank the spanking gods for her trying to please me and my kink
Bob
It's a tough feeling.. a tough thing to go through. It seems you have the right idea though, communication is key. I know it's said all the time, but it really does help more than anything i've found so far. Just keep communicating, and being patient. It'll fall into place. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kenzie
DeleteSometimes I just think and want to much at one time it's like I have all this candy and wondering why is it I can't have it all
Bob
I think you and I are in the same place, but obviously on opposite ends. Wanting more, giving it our all, and waiting...it's such a tough thing to get through. I think you have incredible insight in knowing how she is feeling even when it is you that is feeling unsettled. Others have reminded me that no one can be pushed into the role, but grow into it, with a lot of patience. If anything, learning this patience can be a good thing...it has been for me...patience and acceptance while still keeping hope for more. I hope it gets better, Bob :)
ReplyDelete-Marie
I thought long and hard if this was ever going to see the light of blog land because it makes me feel like I am using Bobbie for my own personal gain, but then I read all of your thoughts and strugles that are at times painfuly expressed desires to want so bad that I thought I would share it with you all. We are talking and we have no idea were it will take us.
DeleteI will post it later
Bob
Up and down. Just when we think we have things figured out we hit a bend in the road. I think you should just- keep on keeping on- as they say. You are great at the communication so it will work out.
ReplyDeleteHI Minellie
DeleteYes that is a good way of describing it up and down grrrrrrrr I want up :)
Bob
I agree with Queenie and Marie, well all the others too, but they speak my words too. I have to remember that Barney agreed to do ttwd and trust that he will build it his way for us. That is your job Bob. Perhaps you need to find a way to talk to Bobbie again, and find a way to express how you want to move forward with out her running in the opposite direction. Perhaps express this too her, leave it with her for a while to contemplate and then revisit the topic a few days later again? You need to trust your wife that she can handle 'this'. After all the first big hurdle has been cleared. Patience is key, behind communication. So my friend go and communicate!
ReplyDeletewillie
Thank you Wilma
DeleteIt is hard when you spouse ilaggingng behind and you want to go up t he hill but we have to remember to stop for our partner and enjowhat wewe have because at this time no matter how small it may be to us that this is the best thatheyay can give at the moment
Bob
Two steps forward, one step back...it's still moving forward... Hope you have been able to talk and work through things... :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Trep
DeleteYes that is still moving, now all I have to do is keep remembering it :)
Bob
Aww Bob,
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you were struggling. It is sometimes hard to measure your success when all you can see are the unspoken desires and needs. Keep talking to Bobbie. Share with her.
You know you have friends who are happy to lend an ear when you need one.
Hope that you both find yourself back in a great place of loving!
((Hugs))
Cat
Hi Catrinka
DeleteIt is a slow process and we armakingng head way so we are on our way of heading forward again
If I should need and to bend an ear I will be bending yours
Bob
I hope so. I feel like I've bent yours plenty. ;)
DeleteI will bend your ears Cat I can take a hint LOL
DeleteBob
From getting to know you a little recently, I think I can safely say your patience will be your strength as you find that beautiful balance in your DD relationship dynamic BoB.
ReplyDeleteCommunication and patience will see you through.
MrBBSpanker
I expected this to happen and still I was not prepared for it.
ReplyDeleteI know we have to talk alot and the nwe can move forward.
