They are in a way. I'll explain.
We're all in the SCA (Society for Creative anachronism.) We're
historical re-enactors that re-create medieval life. In the society, he
is important...he's a knight (a process that usually takes roughly 20
years...10 to squire, 10 to knight) and a duke, meaning he's been king
twice. She's a squire. She has no title, such as duchess as they were
just married and he had titles before. My husband is an armsman of his,
hoping to be a squire of his too. This will most likely happen soon,
he's good and they love him. It's his dream, so I'm supportive. I could
give a crap less, I have other things in my life, but it's important to
his "career" in this that I be...cooperative.
My issues come into play when they take it to real life....He's a
stockbroker, she handles patents at home. That is what they are. They
are no better or worse than we are, just people. So don't come into my
home and act like the king and queen. You are not. Don't expect me to
cater to every whim when I invite you over, because I'm not playing.
Yes, it's an odd life we live. I love my hubby so I do what I can, but
I put my foot down yesterday to him and he completely agrees. So we're
all good. I'll cook friday and we'll have a good time playing board
games or something and that'll be i.
