In my D/s experience, more so than vanilla relationships, parting company is always problematic. Even in a non-long-distance relationship, just going home at the end of an evening together seems to bring out the clingiest, neediest, brattiest, controlling behaviors from subs.
I understand wanting to be with Daddy/Sir/Master as much as possible, but does every parting-of-ways have to drag out or prompt corrective action? It’d be a different story if there weren’t reasons why I’m not staying overnight tonight that have already been discussed. It’d be different if I said I’d stay longer then left early. It’d be different if we didn’t already have plans for when our next time together will be.
I’m about to start setting a strict time limit for every visit I have with C, and possibly even go so far as to deny myself visits with her when she acts up as punishment. I know she feels that she is more attached than I am, but that’s not why I am driving home at 10pm instead of sleeping over, and the constant attempts to guilt me into staying or trying to negotiate with me are getting annoying.
