Chapter 4: John Is a Real Good Listener

It is after dinner, and Sarah and John have just finished talking about the therapy session. Sarah is curious to see how things will play out, and decides to give John a small task to see if he has been paying attention during the session.

“John, could you do me a favor and wash the dishes tonight?” she asks.

“Sure, no problem,” John replies, looking slightly surprised.

“And could you also wash my new panties? They need to be hand-washed,” she adds, holding up a lacy pink pair of underwear.

John’s face turns slightly red at the mention of the panties, but he nods in agreement. “Yeah, I can do that.”

Sarah smiles to herself, happy to see that John is willing to take on these small tasks. “Thank you, John. I really appreciate it.”

As John gets up from the table to start on the dishes, Sarah watches him closely. She notices that he seems a bit hesitant at first, unsure of what to do. But as he starts to wash the dishes, he seems to relax a bit, and even hums a little tune to himself.

Sarah makes a mental note of this, thinking that maybe John is starting to get into the swing of things. She hopes that this is a sign of progress, and that he will continue to be more attentive to her needs.

As John finishes washing the dishes and moves on to washing the panties, Sarah watches him even more closely. She notices that he is being very careful with them, making sure to use the right kind of soap and water temperature. She smiles to herself, thinking that maybe he is starting to take more pride in his work, and maybe even feeling a sense of satisfaction in doing something for her.

When he is done, he brings the clean dishes and the freshly washed panties to Sarah with a smile. “All done,” he says.

Sarah takes the dishes and the panties from him, looking them over carefully. They are both spotless, and she can’t find a single flaw in John’s work. She smiles at him, feeling grateful that he is willing to help her in this way.

“Thank you, John,” she says. “You did a great job.”

John smiles back at her, looking pleased with himself. “You’re welcome, Sarah. I’m glad I could help.”

As Sarah puts away the dishes and the panties, she can’t help but feel a sense of excitement. She knows that this is just the beginning, and that there is still a long way to go.

After John has finished washing the dishes and her new delicate panties by hand, Sarah decides to initiate the final test of the night to see if John is truly committed to listening to her and being attentive to her needs.

“John, do you mind if I chat with you for a bit longer?” Sarah asks, sitting down on the couch next to him.

“Not at all, honey. What would you like to talk about?” John replies, turning to face her.

Sarah grins, “Just some girly gossip, I guess. You know how us women can be sometimes.”

John chuckles, “Sure, let’s hear it.”

And so Sarah begins to talk about all sorts of things that she knows John wouldn’t necessarily be interested in, from the latest celebrity news to a new recipe she has found. John listens intently, asking questions and even offering some opinions of his own.

“That’s a really interesting point of view, John. I hadn’t thought of it that way,” Sarah says, giving him a warm smile.

John smiles back, feeling proud of himself for being able to contribute to the conversation and make Sarah happy.

As Sarah continues to talk, she makes sure to give John positive reinforcement whenever he displays the behaviors she is looking for, such as listening attentively and engaging in the conversation.

“John, you’re such a good listener. I love that about you,” she says, placing her hand on his knee.

“Thanks, Sarah. I just want to make sure I’m being the best husband I can be,” John replies, feeling encouraged by her words.

The conversation continues for a while longer, and Sarah is pleased with how well John is doing. She can tell that he is genuinely interested in what she has to say and is trying his best to be the husband she deserves.

“Okay, John, I think that’s enough girly gossip for one night. Thank you for listening to me and being such a great husband,” Sarah says, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

John smiles, feeling content and fulfilled knowing that he has made Sarah happy. “Anytime, honey. I’m always here to listen.”
