My submissive and I discuss this often, when it comes to a long day and what to do when coming home. I have said that since we both enjoy cooking so much, that it would not be a problem for whom ever was getting home first, to begining the meal. There will be occasions when one of us will probably come home exhausted...and this is where one will look after the other. If I see her run-down and frustrated from this long day, then I am going to have her soak in the tub or relax in some manner to decompress and recoup from the day. Likewise for myself. If we both are exhausted, we'll order out, take a hot shower, and retire for the evening being close and enjoying each other's attention. OP: does your Master work a very strenuous job? A 9-5 office job, or something with a lot of physical / mental stress? All these factors weigh in on how one feels at the end of the day. So does health. A proper diet and sleep time is also important. Energy is sometimes misdirected through not taking care of one's self in any of these ways, and can manifest as exhaustion and a lack of motivation. Perhaps taking a look along these lines to make sure that he is alright in these respects might also help. I believe you also mentioned that you'd like to have your Master give you commands more often. With my submissive, I don't really wish to order her around all the time. I believe in anticipating the needs of someone before they have to ask usually. But there are times when it is good to ask/order around. There is a balance that needs to be achieved. Being a "Daddy" D-type, I'm a bit soft-edged compared to others as it were. And though my authority is always present, there are times when my submissive likes it when I exercise that authority by letting her know what I want or what we're going to be doing at that time. This way, balance is achieved and we are both happy. The best way to convey would be through a frank dialog of communication. But what you'd like may not be exactly when he gets home. Give some time to recuperate, pamper him and discuss. You both are wearing multiple hats: caregiver, provider, parent, student, submissive, Master...there is a time for all of that no matter how small, but making time is important. I would rather have 30-minutes or an hour of quality time, than an evening of mediocre time...so I would say planning would be important to designate which hat is needed at that time. Hope this helps.
