Ngl, she can't read his mind. If he isn't honest or isn't on her and i say this as a sub who has made the mistake of hoping someone can "just tell"
It is on us to be open and honest if we need different accommodations.
It isnt on her* not "or".
I think this is his way of dealing with it. He needs someone to take control so he doesn't have to worry about always being strong all the time.
That's basically escapism.
When are they gonna talk about what's really on their minds, they're only close at a surface level atp
honestly it could go either way. it could be something that will help him cope with stress as it’s not an uncommon thing in the bdsm community, or it could exacerbate the stress and end up dropping him (really hope that doesn’t happen) but if i’d have to bet money on it i think it’d be the former. ultimately since it is a partnership both of them have a responsibility to communicate their needs and boundaries even though it does typically fall on the dom to manage their sub’s headspace. subs do need to be able to communicate themselves to some degree or it’ll create an unhealthy dynamic for both parties. my worry for this relationship is more that they haven’t communicated much in terms of clear boundaries especially with a baby dom but yk it is fiction what can i expect
I hope Courtney realizes that the CP is in some kind of mental distress before going on with this play. He seemed like he was losing it
