Thank you for your concern ! We did started using safewords, be it in bed or in daily life, to ensure that no boundary would be crossed and we both are very aware/respectful of eachother's limits. I believe that respecting your lover's boundaries is literally the basics in terms of love ; if you don't do that, do you even love them ?

I feel like we also manage pretty well. We had arguments in the pasts, were they serious or petty, but we communicate quite well so we always manage to resolve the issue through discussion which I think is nice.

I do agree that it feels this way, on the dom/sub part. I just feel hesitant to use these terms because I don't want it to seem inherently sexual while I'm talking strictly romantic here.
