A Beautiful Spanking

I've been debating on whether to share this post or not.  This spanking happened during our boot camp week and although I had shared the experience with a few close blogging friends I wasn't sure if I wanted to share it here or not for reasons I can't discuss.  So after much deliberation I really felt that I wanted to share this experience with all of you...

It started out as a wonderful day, Foreman and I were on our 3rd day of our modified boot camp and he was still sending me sweet texts throughout the day, I sent him a few in return and all was well that is until....

Have you ever gotten a phone call, text or email from a friend or family member that feeds off of negativity?

I got a call...from a family member, she's struggling in her marriage right now and she called me to vent.  Now normally I would redirect the conversation because I have a tendency to 'soak in' all the complaining and negative emotions.  For some reason I couldn't redirect the conversation, so I soaked it all up, you might as well have called me a biscuit cause I was sopping up all the criticism towards her husband and the complaining so by the time Foreman got home...I was in a horrible mood.  He tried several times to talk to me and I blew him off.  He asked where's that sweet 'Sass' that was texting me most of the day? I didn't know what to tell him, I was mad...and at the time I didn't realize why.  Looking back now I can see how detrimental that call was to my own attitude and how easily my emotions were swayed by her negativity.
So after multiple attempts to talk to me, I was a brick wall.  He threatened to take me around the corner of the house and I stood there with eyebrows raised.  After I had calmed down, Foreman 'invited' me down to his building/woodshed.  On the walk to the shed he started talking about how much he had been thinking of me today, how he had went out of his way to send me multiple lovely texts, not because it was his homework (that as the day before) but because he loved me.  Then he gets home to find me pissy, distant and downright hateful.
I knew it, he was right he had been so sweet and loving and I attacked him and then withdrew as soon as he walked through the door.  I started to cry, not because I knew what was coming, but because I knew what I had done to him...to his heart.
When we got in the building he turned me around to face him, with his arm around my back holding me close, he told me he loved me.  He kissed my forehead then my lips and while holding me in that strong hug he began, steady and determined.  As I stood there leaned against his body, I felt his strength not on my backside ;-) but in his hold on me.  For the first time I really felt open to him and instead of laughing or joking or being sassy, I truly felt it... his strength melded with my vulnerability and I cried into his chest while he held me, I released my hold and began to trust him more...it was a beautiful moment that I will never forget. 

Hugs,

Sass

    1. Meredith, it truly is beautiful when it happens, isn't it. I like that you said "the strength that was already there," it has always been there, I knew it in my mind but it is like my heart is finally starting to trust more completely and I love it. Thanks for your friendship and words of support.

  4. Great post Sass, I have a tendency to "soak up" other people 's nagativity too & I hate it, so I am trying really hard to talk to my husband as soon as something like this happens so that he can help "wring out" all those bad feelings-not always with a spanking, sometimes just telling him about the conversation helps me to get my head right again. It's not 100% effective all of the time but it's better when he has an idea of where I am coming from & can try to remind me that it's ok to sympathize & even empathize with people but that I need to try to keep perspective on where my own feelings end & someone else's begin...so hard to do sometimes!!
    So glad Foreman was able to help you melt into him & that you were able to feel his strength & be vulnerable to him-that truly is a beautiful thing ; )
    Love,
    Scarlet

    1. See that was the problem, I didn't realize until after the spanking, what it was that made me so horribly hateful. Funny thing is I got a call the other morning from the same family member and Foreman offered to "keep me focused":-) So at least he realizes it.

  5. I am guilty of being an emotional sponge too....sadly. We had a similar incident just yesterday actually. Only it was after days of stress and anxiety. During my spanking Barney pointed out all the wonderful things I had done even though I was hurt and angry with him. I hadn't even noticed but he did. I bawled my eyes out thinking what a horrible person I was all wrapped up in my emotions, and he was still seeing the good in me. Such an emotional time---melting indeed!

    Anyway I have had only had about 2 such spankings like you described prior to yesterday, but they are very memorable and oh so special. Something to be cherished for sure!
    love

    1. Thanks, Roz. He's become a little more Hohy since then so it must have meant something to him too. ;-)
