Thanks, countspankulot. For me, the lifestyle never gets old. After that marriage ended, (nothing to do with the DD aspect), I soon met my current Dominant Mistress/life partner. I told her I wanted and FLR with DD household and we hammered out an agreement. We have been together now over 13 years and take our roles and lifestyle seriously. Your question is NOT ignorant.
Second question: I can only speak for our relationship, but I am not treated like a slave or a child. She has control over everything regarding our relationship. I have my own bank accounts, vehicles and real property. She wants and accepts my input on matters, values it and then makes the decision. I abide by her decisions. I cannot contest any of her decisions regarding the relationship, DD household or spankings. I must accept the spankings for any reason without question. We live together as if married, have a loving lifestyle and I would not want to live in any other manner.
