How FLR changed me as an Indian man
I genuinely feel married to the greatest woman in the world. I thank God — or Goddess — that I get to be a proud submissive to my Queen.
Living in India, where we’re often taught that the husband should be the head of the family, FLR has made me question many of those assumptions.
A few things it has taught me:
• Let go of male ego. I don’t need to be right, make every decision or have the final word simply because I’m the husband. Honestly, I think getting rid of male ego is one of the biggest requirements for a man who wants a genuine FLR.
• Listen to women. I’ve become much more willing to understand my wife’s perspective instead of assuming I know better.
• Be emotionally open. I can tell her when I’m struggling, ask for help and seek her guidance without feeling like I’ve failed as a man.
• Embrace my submissive nature. Accepting that I genuinely feel fulfilled when my wife leads has made me much more comfortable with myself. Even bowing to her feels like an expression of my respect and devotion.
• Trust her leadership. I genuinely value her guidance in my career and personal life. Having someone I completely trust to guide me is incredibly comforting.
• Her happiness makes me happy. Supporting her and seeing her succeed gives me genuine fulfilment.
And perhaps the biggest thing my Queen has taught me is this:
Female leadership didn’t make me less of a man. Letting go of my ego made me a better one. And I think is a bare minimum for anyone who wants a real flr
