    Uh, what's wrong with the BDSM side? Why does BDSM have to lead to divorce?

    BDSM led to my marriage.

    I'm kind of having the opposite problem. My HUSBAND read it (listened to it in the car) and has turned into a horney 18-year-old again (he's 56!). He pestered me to read the book, too, thinking I'd have the same reaction. I have not. The book is so hideously stupid I can barely get through it. The woman in the book is a complete idiot. Your protagonist is supposed to be SOMEWHAT sympathetic, but I find myself wanting her to drop into a hole and disappear somewhere. I wish I had advice for you, but I guess I need some, too. I'll be watching to see what others think!

    Can't help ya, Burt, but I know you're a smart fellow and I'm confident you'll figure it out.

    Now I want to talk about ME.

    I see a therapist for depression. My first session there, I mentioned that I was thinking about getting a pilates reformer. She encouraged me to do so because exercise is good for depression.

    Next time I went in (a couple weeks later), I told her that I had gone ahead and bought one. She says, "Ok, so what is that again?" and I explain it to her ("Like a sliding bench that you lie on, with a baseboard for your feet, and handles at the end of straps for arm/leg extension exercises"), and she says, "Ok, yeah yeah, I know what that is, I saw one at my gym and I wanted to be sure that's what you were talking about. It looks like something out of 50 Shades of Grey!"

    Ok, I am not unfamiliar with the lifestyle and previously quite enjoyed the fetish scene--though I haven't read the books because, well, I don't want to--but nothing about sex had come up in our previous session and I just thought it was WEIRD that she so casually dropped that. I know it's probably because the books are so mainstream (and I did mention I love to read before), but STILL. Weird.

    The end. Thank you for letting me share.

    I hope she called you sir when she pouted. Step one: give her a schedule.

    You should read that book as well and you will understand. I can't believe a man is complaining that his wife wants more from the sex life with her husband. You should appreciate and stop being boring!!! Otherwise she will find someone more open to spicy life...

    Edited: to make my inner goddess throw up.

    There I was, lying on the bed covered in motor oil... she walked in with a saddle & a set of jumper cables.



    LOL!!!!!

    Some people have a hard time separating fiction from reality. I def think some counseling should be sought.

    That would seriously piss me off. And that other pic you posted awhile back where she was duct-taped to the wall. I cringed. I am so damn ticklish just the threat alone is enough to make me laugh like an idiot.

    This is one of my hard limit

    You need to sit her down and let her know how uncomfortable this is for you. Just be honest.

    Im in the same Boat :/

    My Mrs has read all the Greys, and now moved on to some of the most disgusting, wet, vial, hot, and indecent, books she can find.

    Its becoming a nasty habit.

    THEN, when I get home from work, she makes me sit there while she reads out the WORST parts!! :/

    Its F***ing awesome!

    She's trying to goad you into a pseudo-M/s or TiH relationship. She acts bratty and you're supposed to punish her for being bad.

    Little does she know that Fifty Shades Grey is to BDSM what Star Wars is to religion...

    Send her to FetLife and she'll learn the truth.

    This. I have a link to a fetlife account she could check out LMAO

    Your wife doesn't get out much, does she Burt? 50 Shades was boring. Be thankful she didn't think so. :blushing:

    DO NOT.. REPEAT... DO NOT give wife copy of SCUM Manifesto.

    particularly if her behavior is this influenced by one book.

    also, therapy.

    Better if your husband doesn't read. The role reversal can be kind of, ummmm, scary.

    I do have to admit that I agree. I did read all 3 books, and ONCE IN A WHILE I enjoyed it...but just kept waiting for it to get good so that I could see what all of the hype was about. Never did.

    (Side Note: I used to be a dom, and I've had sub training...so this book made me LOL more than anything else.)

    In my opinion they would both be GOOD lol. Led to my relationship (which is great) but we haven't made it to the marriage yet lol.

    I honestly have never seen so many unusual items in my life, lol. And, it is always fun to look around and see what everyone else is buying. Kegal pods...are they kind of like the bullets? Around here, we have Slumber Parties Inc, who will even come to your home and do a party. Nothing like the door swing to get a bunch of women cracking up. You find out that the "sweet" ladies you work with are really not who they pretend to be :laugh:

    Leave her purely fore her awful taste in literature.

    You must enlighten us with the authors you read so that we might absorb a bit of your knowledge and spelling prowess.
