This is sooooo very true.

A submissive is not an option, a submissive is a priority
So often I read a post about how the submissive feels that their Dominant “leaves” them or doesn’t meet the needs of the submissive, even though the submissive does all they can to meet the Dominant’s needs.
To me, these are poor Dominants.
When you take the responsibility of a submissive’s consent and devotion, the submissive becomes a priority, not an option in the Dominant’s life.
Just like the Dominant expects the devotion of the submissive, the submissive has every right and expectation to receive the Dominant’s devotion.
A submissive isn’t there just when the Dominant feels in the mood to play or use the submissive.
A submissive has needs and wants outside of play or being used. They have feelings and desires that only require the attention of the Dominant, beside scene play and sex.
Simple conversation, spending time together.
No Dominant would put up with being ignored for lengths of time by their submissive.
No Dominant should expect the submissive to put up with being ignored by the Dominant.
If a Dominant can’t prioritize their submissive, they should expect that submissive to look elsewhere for a Dominant that will.
As a matter of fact, that’s the advice I give to any submissive that finds themselves being only an option, not a priority.
Even a Dominant with multiple submissives, must MAKE the time to satisfy the needs of every submissive serving them.
No submissive deserves to wonder if they are worth their Dominants time and energy.
They should always know and be shown they are appreciated and are a priority.
