When you decide to reinvent your life at 72, people have questions. When you decide to reinvent it by trading a lifetime of masculine privilege for a life of domestic servitude and 1950s-style submission, people have judgments.
I have heard the whispers. I know the skepticism. “Why would you give up your freedom?” “Isn’t this demeaning?” “Are you just going through a phase?”
To the outside world, my choice to become a Sissy Housewife looks like a step backward. They see the apron, the obedience, and the surrender of control, and they see loss.
But they are looking through the wrong lens.
I am writing this to set the record straight: My path is unconventional, but my conviction is absolute. I am not doing this for the approval of the world. I am doing it to build a perfect world for my future husband and me.
I Am Not a “Leaf in the Wind”
To the man I am searching for, I want you to know this: I am not a woman who is easily swayed.
A wife who worries constantly about what the neighbors think cannot be fully devoted to her husband. A wife who looks to society for validation will eventually resent a husband who leads her against the grain. I am not that woman.
I have not chosen this life because I am weak or confused. I have chosen it because I have the fortitude to stand by my truth. I am strong enough to ignore the noise of the modern world so that I can hear your voice clearly.
My Submission is a Choice, Not a Defeat
The skeptics believe that submission is weakness. They do not understand that for me, surrender is liberation.
They see the “heavy armor” of masculinity as a prize; I see it as a cage I have finally escaped. They see my domestic service as drudgery; I see it as “sacred duty.” When I clean our home or prepare your meals, I am not lowering myself. I am elevating our life.
I am not a victim of my desires. I am the architect of my own joy.
The Sanctuary We Will Build
So, let the doubters talk. Let them cling to their modern complexities and their exhaustion.
While they argue about who is in charge, I will be busy polishing the silver. While they fight for control, I will be finding peace in your leadership. While they look for validation from strangers, I will be looking for a smile from you.
I have made my choice. And I will stand by it, just as I will stand by you.
