im not bashing anyone just very curious about the hubby having control or rule over the wife? like does he make ALL the decisions? tell you where you can and cant go? tell you what you can and cant buy? tell you when you have to go to bed and what time you have to get up? again not bashing just curious how this submissive stuff works.

There are many types of submission and many levels in each lifestyle.

Google is your best bet, I'd say unless you find moms who live the lifestyle here. We've dabbled in the BDSM lifestyle a bit but we definitely don't live by it.

Good luck!

its not like that.

He is the head of the house. His decision is the final one but he does listen to me. I go to bed when i want. I get up when i want. If its uner 100 i can buy whatever the heck i want as can he. Over 100 and it needs to be discussed. I go wherever i want..whenever i want.

I am submissive to my husband feelings, meaning I always consider how he feels before I make the decision, but in the end I do make the final decision

 I think marriage is a partnership.

He tells me to get up if I have laid in bed for too long. again not bashing just curious how this submissive stuff works.

Same here, I ask his opinion before I make a big decision. He gets the final say in any disagreement. Well, he usually does, he want's me to have another baby (try for a girl) and I want to be done. I'm still considering getting my tubes tied weather he likes it or not. lol We will see how this issue turns out.

 Some submissives let him dictate whatever he wants, others simply defer to his judgement out of respect. Me, my DH is the head of household and deserves the respect as such, but I'm no submissive he lets me do what I like.

It depends on the individual couple. Most people I have met in the lifestyle and when i lived it had some conversations and negotiation on what both of them wanted. Very few people give over total control in the sense they have no say in anything and just do what they are told. Generally there are different aspects of their relationship that the Dominant has total say over but that said they also are more often then not willing to hear input from the submissive. Dominants do not just look after their own best interest and they do truly want the submissive to feel happy. It's a give and take relationship that fufills a need they BOTH want. It would not work any other way and would turn into abuse. Many people even go so far as to write contracts to clearly lay out what they are okay with and not okay with. Discipline for example is usually one that they discuss. Like if to use physical discipline or not. What the submissive can expect from the Dominate and what the Dominate expects from the submissive partner.

Very clear it is STILL a partnership in terms of each person is giving equally to the function of the family just in different ways.
