A Positive Influence In My Life

That is what FdM has been. A Positive Influence.

My stress level has gone down. I'm less irritable. I don't get mad at the kids as much. I have fewer sleepless nights. I don't feel so lonely when I'm alone.

I'm happy.

Not just once in a while. Not just for an hour or two.

Consistently.

And it feels good.



He makes me happy. That has had a big impact on my life. I enjoy other things more. Things like cooking meals, baking with my kids, walking the dogs.

I've also found that I do things for him, just because.

I make sure he gets lunch... whether I'm buying something and bringing it back to the office, or making enough to share when I pack my own lunch. It makes me feel good because it makes him feel good.

He does the same thing. During a quiet time in the office, he will suggest we go for a walk, or he will go buy hot chocolate and we will sit down and have a break together.

If one of us is feeling stressed, the other will give a shoulder rub. We greet each other with a hug in the morning. We have playful banter going on throughout the day.

We have respect and appreciation for each other.

And that is the greatest aphrodisiac of all.
