End Of The Line For A Series Of Bad Choices?

A fascinating dynamic, that's for sure.
 

What if the husband is the man standing and he hired the other man to grovel for him?
From the Simpsons season 19, episode 48:
Burns: Look what you've reduced me to.
(Snaps fingers).
Smithers: Please!

Curious is my middle name. The photo above featured frequently in my Tumblr feed. Most people into femdom said it was hot. Real life misery never is.

According to Reddit, the caption reads: "a man begging for his wife's forgiveness inside Divorce Court. Chicago, 1948." Nobody really knows what's going on, but given the year it probably was the conclusion to years of suffering.

An uncontested divorce means you just don't want to be married to your spouse anymore, that simple. Until the concept was introduced in California in 1969, not good enough. Getting a divorce was near impossible. He took out his belt when he came home and beat you? Not sufficient grounds. Suffer on. Next please! No money to buy food? Same answer. Emotional abuse? Huh, what's that?

Pretty much the only reason for divorce was infidelity. One woman famously commented how she liked [other people's] divorces: good for business. As a paid adulteress she loved getting "caught" on camera with men. That's pretty sad. Not that life after divorce meant the gates of heaven swung open in an inviting embrace, especially not for women. Most people shunned divorcées like a disease.

One can be forgiven for not realizing just how difficult divorce was back then. Misreading body language on the other hand is a choice.

All that groveling in public is rather cool and all femdommy, you say? Most likely he cheated, drank or was abusive. Whatever the reason, he sure didn't want to pay alimony. Too little, too late doesn't even begin to cover it.

Cornered, his hands over her wrists with his elbows gripping the one side of her legs. She has to practically sidle away from him. Never a good move, but especially not if you promise to clean up your act - whatever that promise means given the past.

Most internet users agree the man in the picture behaved behaved bad to reduce himself to this. Few wondered what she is thinking. Who knows? Some misguided kinksters start to drool, interpretating the look on her face. Does it spell indifference? Perhaps she feels uncomfortable with it al? It's still 1948. Tumblr taught me the majority of kinksters considered her cold, uncaring and unforgiving stare rather hot. Really?

Apart from the caption, a search offers no additional clues as to what's going on. What you see is non-consensual public play, probably the outcome of a long, sad tale. For once, even the femdom police agrees with me. Feel free to go on your knees and beg forgiveness, but whatever you do, don't corner her. No points for public humiliation either. Remember that first rule of submission? Before anything else - always and forever - be an equal partner to the woman you love. Love her, care for her, support her and when you have to, disagree. No love story survivess without. No better way to spell "anything for you, mistress." That's how you say forever.

Note:
Don't be fooled by that title. There is no such thing as bad choices. Copied it from a post on Reddit. Choices are choices and we all knowvery well when we make the wrong choice. Don't feel sorry for the guy if he made bad choices. Not even too little, too late.
