Interesting question, I hope some others post. I went through this, my sub boyfriend whom I referred to and though of as my pet, wanted my Domination 24-7. It was hard to always be in the role, and I found myself wanting and needing time off. My mistake, was to ignore him on those days I couldnt deal with him, which drove us apart eventually. I didnt trust him to be willing to let me have days off. It wasnt the best way to deal with it, and I regret doing it.
