BB and I talk about all the hot things we do before we do them, but sometimes I suggest or agree to something I’m not ready for. I get excited at the thought, and then I get impatient, and then I start planning the logistics of doing the thing, and then reality sets in and I realize… no. I don’t want to do that yet. I want to work up to it.
BB is never disappointed or mad or annoyed that I’ve backtracked and don’t actually want to do the thing we just spent 10 minutes discussing in smoking hot detail. Instead he says “sure, that’s 110% fine by me” and reminds me that we’re going on my timeline and that my consent matters above all else. No pressure, ever.
And that’s why he gets to own me.
THIS is the difference between being dominant and domineering.
