Master and I both work outside the home. He is in the military and I work in retail. Because of that, our schedules sometimes get a bit crazy and it means that unfortunately, we aren't always home at the same time like we would like to be. Working outside the home also means that I am often not home to prepare meals which I really hate. I try and stave that off a bit by preparing things so that Master has little to nothing to do in order to get a meal ready. The crock pot has been great for this. I know he likes to cook so its not like I'm making him do something he hates but I still feel kind of unslavey.
When Master has to go away its usually a fair distance away and its usually for several days, weeks or even months. Some absences have been better than others. The most recent one involved him being on course and we got to communicate regularly through the day. Sometimes though, him being away means he's in a different country and I know that regular communication isn't going to be possible.
During those times, I have to deal with everything around the house from yard work to housework. I'm quite capable of dealing with pretty much anything that can come up and I'm used to managing things on my own from my single, unowned days but its still not much fun especially not for extended periods.
When we're both home together, we both work to keep the house in order. Usually I deal with stuff indoors and Master deals with outdoor stuff. That's not to say we don't both help each other out. We love gardening together and Master frequently says that if he helps out to get some of the housework done, we both can relax together more quickly. Its really his prerogative what he helps with and what form his help will take
While it would be lovely if we could both be home together all the time the fact is that life simply isn't letting that happen. While our life may not resemble fictional accounts of M/s relationships its real, its ours and that's all that is important to us.
