I Gave Up My Pride But She Sleeps By My Side

I had to vacate my apartment after a fire and moved in with my coworker and her boyfriend. He was a typical all around red neck who 'shut us up' when he was watching tv, he pointed his finger in my face and called me a bitch. I boiled and my friend came to sleep with me and we agreed to freeze him out. He brought a pick up home and she screamed and cussed all night.

We got in a fight over nothing, he bent my arm behind my back and pushed me down on my knees. I had to cry 'uncle' and tell him he was 'the man' before he let me up. My coworker, his 'girlfriend' complained he was getting his fill from girls he was picking up and freezing him out wasn't working. After three weeks of sleeping with her I didn't want her going back to sleep with him.

I spilled coffee out of my cup, he told me to clean it up. I took a paper towel and bent down to clean up the spill. He followed up with 'that wasn't so hard, was it?'. I did it for her, I wasn't going to keep fighting. If being nice to him was the price of sleeping with her, I was willing to submit to him.

He established his authority over us, we gave in. He agreed no more strange women, we wouldn't freeze him out. Giving in to him was not easy, peace and sleeping with her was worth it. He insisted and won. I lost but I came out ahead, when he called for me I went, but went back and cuddled up with her. I won, she sleeps with me.
