Confessions of a Henpecked Man

Do you dare to hear this story, listen to the rant of a cuckold tale This story will give you nightmares if your masculinity has begun to fail Despondent voice of said henpecked man was recorded secretly at a support group therapy session He swear he loves his wife, don't know why he picked up the knife Says he has a wonderful life, but something is not quite right Then he contradicts what he just said, the reasons why are mixed up in his head He confess that he just wanted to scare her ... frighten her bad But he wasn't too convincing, she only started to laugh She commanded him to put the knife down, then started to throw her 130-pound weight around Used sex as the ultimate weapon, said love was going out of town ... indefinitely He said he begged like never before, pleading with her to please don't leave out the door Said she just slapped his pride on the backside, told him the bank account was gonna take a nosedive Raised her eyebrows and gave a baleful stare, then said he was having it too good He said when she gets to talking like that, he's learned over time not to say anything back Letting out a small sigh, he said he simply becomes a docile little boy and go sit elsewhere Says the only time he roars like a lion, is when she tries to take away his adult toys Trying to stop him from getting season tickets is gonna cause him to make a lot of noise So she just let him be for awhile, let him calm down ... give him a warm smile He said being henpecked ain't so bad, he gets his favorite meal after breaking mad Yet and still, he seemed kinda sad Now that the group therapy is over, he said his wife is gonna come get him And make a point to remind him of how he dresses so bad That he's such a loser, just like her dad

Hi Freddie, First of all I must that I like your style because you "own" it. I really enjoy how you tell a story . This tale was no exception. It had your distinctive flare, I must admitt the hen pecked line made me chuckle(having a hen pecked guy is a turn off and not atrractive). I found it to be sort of sad, she treated that man like that because she had daddy issues. A without a doubt seven:-) Alexis

I also loved the "breaking mad" line. This is an ingeniously told multi-faceted story that hits on so many different points. The conclusion, of course, is a powerful, powerful statement. "Just like her dad". My reaction was a simple nod of agreement while saying "yup". Great stuff here.

This is some entertaining story Freddie, told with your usual excellent flair. I loved the reference to breaking bad...in breaking mad. Very enjoyable! I couldn't begin to hen peck my husband! 7 ; )

I thought henpecking was a part of the feminine genetic code? Eh, I clearly know nothing about such things, so I'll be quiet :)

This made me think of that old Richard Pryor line "I'd never hit a woman, I might shake the s--t out of her, but I'd never hit her". Guess we all need a little shake once and a while. Good one Freddie...

I was kind of okay until I got to the no seasons tickets part...that's where I'd have to draw the line. Some things are important you know. : ) Nicely crafted Freddie, I like how this played out.

Nah, we can't let 'em take away our season tickets, eh. Lol! Ty, Chris for weighing in on my humorous approach to a serious subject. A lot of marriages are wrecked because of this dysfunctional dynamic. Love always, bro.
