Outside Influences

Its easy to just carry on and pretend that nothing changes or that things are always the same, that outside forces have little or no bearing on our every day lives, but it would be wrong to lead people to believe that when it is not how things are right now.
MG and i are going through a rough patch within our M/s at present, not in our love for one another, not in our family life in general, but within the realms of M/s, we are lacking or have misplaced something ... no i lie, not something.. what we are lacking is time... time to be who we are, time to be together, time to focus on the Master and slave, us.
Life is weighing heavily right now to the point where we are just about keeping our heads above all the influences that we have to consider before anything else. The demands being made on us are so intense that we have very little time to even think about M/s let alone do anything about it.
It is not out fault that this has happened, as much as we would like it to be otherwise, it is out of our control and there is little we can do about it for the time being. MG's job dictates certain aspects of our lives, his need to sleep and recoup from the stress and strain of a job that is thankless at best, down right pain in the rear at worst, but its a job and as much as he would like to tell the man he works for to "stuff it", he isn't the sort to walk away without first having something else to go too... so until that happens..we are stuck, good and proper in a never ending cycle of work and sleep and eat and work... that's the real problem...no time.

No time for the family, no time for us , no time to be together, just work and work and more work and the strain is beginning to tell on us both. Little snaps at each other, quiet pauses that say all but nothing.
And where in all this is the M/s, well i am willing to admit that right now..its way down the list of priorities, even on days off, MG is to knackered to find the right Dom head that sets his frame of mind, its not something that you can force out, its a natural occurrence, its either there or its not and right now, its not. And if MG is not in the Dominant frame of mind, what can or do i submit too... and to be honest, we have far more pressing matters to think about in what little free time we do get to have to put some aside for the "personal moments"
Our love will stand firm through this time, i don't doubt that but what with so many pressures we do get the odd cross word which is unusual for us but hey, no ones perfect...
In time, i am sure things will turn around, but for now,we are both resigned to how it is right now but we will wait for it to come about, but until it does, it is really a matter of surviving this and being strong together, as the team we are, being there for one another, holding tightly to what we know is buried under all those outside influences that makes up the whole way of life.
