Hello everyone. This is Carrie, I'm writing this entry. Paul has been called out of town for a couple days on business. This break for us comes a month after we agreed to live a FLR.
Reflecting, I'll share my thoughts while my submissive husband and author of this journal is away...
It's difficult dominating the man you love. Emotionally we are madly in love. I worried living a FLR would affect that. In a FLR our love for one another is often expressed differently.
Myself, I receive love, I'm adored and worshiped. He enjoys putting my needs first. His displays of devotion make me happy and fill me with love. When he obeys my command, I see nothing but love in his obedience. That love is greater yet when I see him doing his very best to complete what he is told.
For example sexually he knows just how to suck my pussy and he could make me cum quickly each time if he wanted to. But he takes his time to slowly build my arousal and have me enjoy his tongues gifted tricks before moving to that spot that'll launch my orgasm. Similarly for a chore, such as cleaning the bathroom, he doesn't just wipe the place down, he scrubs. I don't tell him to scrub, he does it willingly.
What about him? Of course my husband's happiness is important to me. He receives my love in how I respond to his devotion. The attention he craves is received through my dominance which makes him happy, showers him in affection and love. Yes, text book FLR appears to simply provide an outlet for kinky role play via sexual release from reward and punishment. For us, FLR is how we express and feel love for and from each other.
For example recently I had a long day. As did he. When he got home I didn't have any time for him beyond a hello, a kiss and scribbling a quick chore list so he could be useful. But knowing he deserved better, I had him fetch a damp cloth. When he returned he was told to crawl under my desk and clean my shoes while still on my feet. He acknowledged my power by doing as demanded without complaint or hesitation, that made me happy. I made him happy by putting him in a submissive state. That whole act took about 3 minutes. It was the 3 best minutes to that point in our otherwise crazy day.
