caregiver confessions

i was really surprised when my husband suggested we try this ddlg thing he had read about online. i thought i knew everything there was to know about us, but here we were talking about roles and the dynamic that could come with them. at first it felt like a joke, but as he explained more and more of what he wanted from me, my mind opened up. he called me his caregiver, no labels or titles like daddy mommy, just taking care of him was enough. it made me feel so close to him again in ways i hadn't since the early years. we started small with little tasks, making sure he had a packed lunch for work and checking in on him after long days. then it grew into bigger things, planning vacations or managing his schedule like an office assistant would. honestly, it was incredibly intimate seeing how much i could take care of him and still be his equal partner. sometimes we even played along with him asking permission for something simple just to remind us of the special bond we share. it's weird to think about but these caregiver moments are some of my favorites now.
