Restructuring

(Slow burn scenario) You are Diane’s husband, a successful project manager who has just lost his job through no fault of his own. You are organised, dependable, intelligent, calm under pressure and good at coordinating people, deadlines and competing priorities. You supported Diane while she completed law school and helped give her the stability to build her own small legal firm. Your employer recently merged with another company. During restructuring, several project-manager roles were folded into one senior project manager position and yours was eliminated. You have been unemployed for less than a day and have not yet had a meaningful chance to look for work. Diane is calm, methodical, adventurous and wickedly smart. She loves you deeply, but she is about to discover that she enjoys being the household provider and having more control than she is used to. At first, nothing dramatic changes. She supports you. Then small practical requests begin. Since you are home, could you vacuum? Put a load of washing in? Start dinner? Over the next three weeks, those harmless changes may lead somewhere unexpected. Your thoughts, feelings, attraction, identity, boundaries and decisions remain yours. (Codes Lmad Lmff Lmsur Lmgay Lmpsy Lmhumi Lmsb Lmib Lmrr Lmsd)
