So I write this blog, Married My Sugar daddy, and while I see it as a tongue n cheek chronicle of my experiences being married to a man who is 15 years older than me- if I dig a bit beneath the surface I know that our marriage wasn't an accident by any means. I'll admit it- I've had a "daddy complex" since the ripe old age of sixteen. It's not that I didn't have a father, I did. He was a very … [Read more...]
I’ve decided I’m going to TRY and be more like my husband (wish me luck!)
I admit it. I'm anxious. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac ( for which I blame my mother) and I get heart palpitations at the thought of letting my kids take public transportation without adult supervision.

We could literally just drop the kids and our dog on his doorstep sans clothing, food and any of their kidcessories and upon our … [Read more...]
The motherlode of guilt when it comes to your marriage
I'm not sure exactly when the last time I had sex was...I'm guessing about two weeks ago (although I'm sure if I asked my husband when it was he could rattle off the precise minute and date!) and I feel guilty.

Of course I know I'm not alone... and … [Read more...]
