Sometimes, Submitting to Your Submissive Doesnāt Make You Less Dominant
There comes a time in every D/s relationship where the submissive partner takes charge. Now, before you start shouting that down, with cries of āfakeā or ābullshitā, hear me out. Dominants, as a general rule, are often too stubborn for their own good and every once in a while, we might put ourselves into a situation, out of stubbornness, that is a bit dangerous. It is in those times, call it Princess Prerogative, Submissive Sanction, Littleās Liberty or whatever, that the submissive has the rightā¦ no, the obligation to step in and make a proclamation and in my opinion, ANY Dominant with any sense at all will stop, listen and will see the logic in their submissiveās stance.
Take today for example. Due to a variety of external reasons (vacation, torrential rains, soaked ground, Harperās knee injury, etc.) I have gotten VERY far behind on the lawn care. I enjoy my lawn time, itās me, the mower and my tunesā¦ also known as āIan can sing as loud and off key as he likesā time. Part of what has been DESPERATELY needed is weeding of the flower beds which have become overgrown with far too much fucking crabgrass. Crabgrass is, just so you know, the bane of my existence. Today is the first sunny/nice day weāve had in weeks where the ground has not been exceptionally soaked. Itās also about 105 degrees in the sunā¦ guess where our flower beds areā¦ go ahead, Iāll wait. Yep, in the sun. So, there I am out there, Iām in my sleeveless gardening tee (sunās out, guns out ya know), shorts, the gardening sandals and my hat and I am pulling up weeds like a motherfucker. It is a LONG process because crabgrass (the bane of my existence) is a fucker and likes to break off so you canāt yank it out of the soil. Sweat is rolling off of me and I am quickly heading towards overheating. But, Iām stubbornā¦ and this is a responsibility I have let slide (for good reasons) and so I am knuckling down to weed the flowerbed or damn near die trying. Seeā¦ stubborn. Stubborn can equal dumb.
This is when @missharpersworld limps out onto the porch and sees the scene. She shakes her head and in her most concerned and little tone, she says: āHow about you stop? I donāt need you hurting yourself or getting sick. Itās too hot out here for this. Come get some water and then you can mow, but no more weeding today. Iām serious, okay?ā
Now, there are some āDominantsā that would have told her to mind her business and go sit down and rest her knee. I on the other hand, looked up at her, through sweat stung eyes, and I realized she was right. I was no good to her if I made myself sick. I was exactly the opposite of good to her if I allowed myself to get heat stroke. Thereās no shame in that. I work in an air conditioned office. I have crazy mad respect for those who do landscaping for a living. Itās HARD fucking work and though I donāt mind hard work at all, I am NOT used to that sort of labor in extreme heat. I also realized that the most important task for me was looking after Harper and so, I nodded, focused on removing two large vines that were creeping up our lattice work on our porch and then went in to get a drink.
I submitted to the Princess Prerogative and it was the smart and right thing to do. Sometimes, we all need someone else to tell us when weāre too focused on something and ignoring the bigger picture. Sometimes, even being a Dominant, it is good to listen to your submissive and submit to her/his will.
