after the divorce

Anonymous Snuggly Marshmallow #114 · General Confessions

i was feeling so lost and small after everything fell apart with my ex. one night i met this older woman online who knew exactly how to make me feel like a little girl again. she took care of me, fed me, made sure i had my bedtime stories and cuddles. it felt so good to be taken care of like that, something i hadn't experienced in a long time. we did all sorts of playful things together, acting out scenarios where i was her child for the moment. i would giggle at her jokes and call her mom just to make her smile. but one night after everything got intense between us, she told me off like i was being bad, sending me to my room without dessert as a punishment. it made me feel naughty and young again in ways that were both exciting and humbling. am i the only one who craves this kind of nurturing now and then? is it weird to enjoy being scolded like a kid?
