He's on to me

[lilangel21]

Background: My partner has no interest in ddlg or agere at all, when I first met him he had a very negative view on it. While I did teach him a lot about it and changed his perspective he still remained slightly judgy, but mostly it just wasn't for him. I always kept it secret from him, he found a paci once in its case hidden very deep in the back of my drawers and managed to play it off as my supporting my friends small business of customizing them (not a lie at all)

 

Anyway, I think he's on to me. I've been finding myself needing to regress more recently (hence joining this forum) and have taken more steps to include little things in my life. We spoke a few weeks ago about trying to be more casually sub/dom in our relationship like we used to be, so that could play a part in it. But he's been calling me more cute nicknames than normal, and has started using princess, babygirl, cupcake etc which he never does, its normally just babe/baby etc. Anyway, I got myself a new water bottle yesterday, it's a 1L pink teddy bear with a straw (£2.99 in home bargains with a few different colours, I highly recommend, they're soooo popular online atm and they're so cute!!) but today he called it a sippy cup?? That is very out of character for him, he generally avoids using Americanisms for things and never babies me, the way he stared at me after too just made me think he knows. It was a very cute moment, don't get me wrong, I loved it! But I am slightly concerned he knows and I have no clue what to do about it or how to prompt him to say more so that I can verify!!

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but also just wanted to share!! ❤️

 Honestly I wouldn't say or do anything different than you are doing right now. Don't overthink things. 

 He is either starting to get comfortable with this side of you or he is playing a game. I would hope it's that he is getting more comfortable and is easing into things to see how he feels about it. If you try and change the natural progression that he has set in motion he may feel pressured to "go along" with what you want, that can cause resentment. Just relax and enjoy the new treatment. Even if he doesn't go any farther with it than new pet names I would call it progress and a win.

Good luck.

I agree with shadowrider. Your past teaching him is paying off and his caring for you too of course, but now it's coming from him not from you leading him. It's a good win, just enjoy the change.

Yep just let whatever going to happen happen and go from there see where it takes you. Sometimes just being yourself and not thinking about to much helps
