wonderful response. thanks for taking the time.

you've made some excellent points for the 'yes,' and these are exactly what i was referring to in my original note.

as for the 'no,' i don't necessarily disagree, because i could totally see, and have seen, similar instances play out. but i should stress what i mean by "better submissive" is a clear, conscious choice.

as long as it remains a choice and not an addiction or coerced, then the other concerns are able to be addressed with open communication.

wonderful addition. thanks again~! ^^

Thanks

That's a fair point

np

and thank you for chiming in.

i'm aware that almost all of the audience here aren't aware of or particularly interested in an FLR lifestyle. so i'm always grateful and curious for interactions.

your reply was extremely insightful. i feel like you're someone who a lot of self-knowledge. :3

Anytime!

My marriage wasn't FLR, we just had a definite understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses. Also, that was crucial in doing our best to not argue in front of the kids.

Two marriages and 13 years of parenthood changes a LOT of things. What can I say🤷‍♂️?!

Its growth and change; or death.

Absolutely! Honestly, I'm a bit worried that the average age for first-time parenthood has increased so much over the past few decades. It's a concerning trend.

We have children we have to encourage them to start younger. It’s on us.

And not just encourage but empower them

To do so by building a better prosperous world.

It's alot more complicated than that

Dude totally

I'm not getting into all that right now. But, what I do know for certain is that the government needs to go in order for us to help our kids. The states are too divided right now and that has created a HUGE moment of vulnerability for over 300 million people. We NEED to figure something out ASAP!

i would say that it's more personal than that.

my Wife and i both came from broken families. we needed time to figure things out and heal before bringing a child into the mix. i would not be nearly be as good a father to my child if i were still in my twenties...

i imagine a couple from better families could start sooner despite external factors.

It is more personal. As I said, it's very complicated.

the thing about an FLR is that it requires a strong emphasis on the 'R' part. without a good foundation, or at least patience and a willingness to grow and learn together, then any type of relationship will fall apart.

Well... yea. Of course.
