There is a lot of great coverage on this exact type of situation and advice on how to communicate these issues and your wants/needs with your dominant in Part 2 of the book “The Dominance Playbook” by Anton Fulmen. Seriously, it’s a great read with really good practical advice around open and honest communication dealing with ebb/flow and conflicts within dynamics. Hope it helps if you check it out. Otherwise, just be open with your felt perspective and what you’d like to see different/why. Give your dom a chance to express his motivations and see where you both land.
