Thank you everyone.
There is a lot to take in here, and that is a good thing in someways. Thank you Mr. Fox for starting this, as I have noticed, like many that most resources are not catered to married couples who come into this dynamic after being married.
Ash is very interested, willing and responsive (we had a nice long chat in downtime a couple nights ago), but we are very new to making this a real D/s relationship, so lots of patience and growing to do all around.
Our 2 biggest things, are me being more consistently assertive (which I have read posts about here already, as my starting point on the site) and finding the time. We both work. We have 2 little kids. There is a lack of time and energy to be “active” all the time. I am sure this is something that people have posted about already, but there is a lot to wade through. We are no where near a TPE, so the questions become, ways to find the time, and ways to reinforce outside the bedroom, consistently.
Any direction to existing previous posts or discussions is appreciated.
Thanks,
Hawke
