The Domestic Mundane

   So I recently moved in with my boy friend who I've been with for a while now. I quit my career job a few weeks ago and pretty much slowly moving into the housewife type role. Now I should say that I'm not 100% there yet. There are logistics I'm finishing up which take time and other things. For example, finishing up paperwork on Name/Gender changes (legally done), finding new medical insurance, changin address, moving things and other logistics. Also I'm very lucky to be with an understanding man who is giving me some space to move in the right direction before a firmer hand is used.

  A few of the things I've been consisently doing is laundry, spot cleaning, dishes. He's actually a pretty good cook and been doing that more because of the Holiday season. Chances are next week I'll slowly start moving into that role as well along with the more thourough house cleaning and rest of the domestic wife duties. 

  So what is the posting about other then a fast status update. Well my thought process. Today was the first day that the mundaness of what I was doing kind of hit me. My bf was working while I was sorting out clothes and doing some laundry and it occured to me the import difference in the activities we were both doing. When this occurance hit me, it wasn't myself being upset or bored with it. I have a very active mind and thus can keep it pretty active thinking about things as I do things, but this time I really focused on it. The role difference between men/women hit me and made me really think about how I'm moving towards the more servile/support role whereas I'm used to being one of the more "star" employees. Certainly can be an ego buster there, hehe.

  There are many things I'm adapting to going into the full time female and feminine role better than expected. In many ways I feel going full domestic housewife role will be the one that feels more degrading/humbling and I've had that feeling for a while. Its something that really highlights my life going forward. That I'll be seen and known by others as the Mrs. rather then the one people know. That I'll be behind the seens only making the life of those immediately around me (in this case my boy friend) better so that he can accomplish what he wants. 

  The interesting thing about this compared to all the other feminization things I'm going through is this is the one thing that isn't isolated to my transitioning. Every career woman who goes domestic starts having these feelings I'd imagine. In that way this is also one of the first more pure female emotions I've had, and I've had a lot of them. This is something that women for a while now have delt with. Going from waking up every day to go to work in the real world to being within a home most of the day, less opportunities for socializing, fully supportive rather
