One small thing I do, which makes me feel better is respond with, "I'll have to ask my Husband." It is a small conceit, and as a slave, I feel that it helps people I deal with in the world realize that there are still some women who treasure their husband's opinions and decisions. I am not ready to use Master in polite society. So when a clerk asks if I want a credit card, I'll respond, "I really should check with my husband before opening a new account." Or when she asks if I want this dress in red as well, I say, "My husband prefers me in blue." Just small ways to impress upon them that my husband matters to me, and is a greater authority than they are, or than I am.
