• Submission while husband is away?

    Posted by bookwormbeth on at

    I have not been on this site long, but everything I have read so far shows the amazing support you all have for each other. My husband and I have not been D/s formally for very long (only about a month), and he is leaving tomorrow for a deployment. Does anyone have any suggestions on things I can do while he is gone to work on my submission? I don’t want to totally give it up while he is gone. It has brought such joy and fulfillment into our marriage. It is definitely the right path for us and I hate to stop just when we’re really getting started. Thanks so much for any help!

    Hi Beth! Great question!
    Personally, I do not have to deal with my Sir being away for days/weeks/months at a time like yourself and some of the other ladies on here do, but there are several on here in your position. Some things that I have heard them talking about to keep that connection is utilizing our wonderful technological world to help them. Sending kinky texts, emails and even skyping with their Sirs. I understand that with him being deployed that it may be a bit more difficult for him to interact with you in this way, but it might help when he can.

    Another thought is maybe you and your Sir can think of some sort of daily ritual for you to do while he is gone to keep you in mindset and then either writing in a journal about it (which you can read to him over the phone or do one on your computer that you can email to him) or letting him know daily that you have done it through text (even if he can’t respond, he will see you are doing it).

    I don’t know how helpful my suggestions are, but I do hope they help a little bit!

    Smooches,
    V

    Hi,
    First Thank you and your Sir. Just wanted to add onto Veruca’s response. I am also lucky enough to have my Sir home most of the time – only gone for work a day or 2 at a time. Though this past week he has been gone for 4 days (i know that’s not long in the grand scheme of things), and one of the main things we did/do required no technology at all – to stay connected as Sir and sub, I knelt for Him every night at the same time and manner in which I do when he is home. It somehow connects me kneeling and thinking of Him and Sir knowing that I’m doing that one thing for Him no matter what. There are a few other rituals we have in place that I make sure to do as well. I won’t share them all, but one of our fun ones is that I write a note to him on our shower wall with bath crayons (kids toys) and when he’s away I take pictures and send them to him in the morning with a good morning message. I know depending on where he’s deployed texting or snap chat may not be available and certain kinds of communication are restricted. He also sends me emails or texts with new very specific tasks to complete. They go from a very specific picture he wants, buying a butt plug on my own AT the store not online (pushing me a little out of my comfort zone lol), writing a specific letter to him, etc. Be creative – stay connected to one another. and Good luck! I also think there is post on here by Lk concerning the power exchange when your Sir returns – I am unsure if there is a post regarding when he is away.
