Seeking Encouragement as We Navigate a Release Dispute

Hello all, I’m posting here because I doubt Ab reads this forum (if he does, it’s quietly). He definitely checks the blog though. The situation is…we faced a bit of resistance tonight and I could use some backing! As you know, I was the one who first proposed chastity to Ab, making us the “backwards” pair regarding motivation. When I brought it up in early August, he was thrilled with the idea, keen on getting a device and wearing it, and has stayed mostly cooperative throughout this initial lock-up…which, for a maiden voyage, I admit was quite long. 53 days. The plan had him being released Friday, October 8th at 6 pm, free until Sunday, October 10th at 6 pm. What transpired during those 48 hours remains…a mystery. He’s been rather spirited lately. If I were to use my model terminology, he shows some “home stretch” signs. He has also remained locked continuously since last Thursday (when the JB arrived). No breaks for cleaning or other needs. He is getting grumpy. During dinner tonight, he raised the issue of what happens this weekend “now that he’s released.” I replied, “Don’t take it as a given that you’ll be let go. Circumstances have shifted. My period might arrive. We suddenly have a hectic weekend hosting my mom and her friends. This might not be ideal for release. We may need to delay by a week.” His eyes flashed. He looked…irritated. Annoyed. Even a touch angry. “What did you expect? I thought I’d have free rein…even if your period was present, I could do what I pleased.” “Well, perhaps you can or maybe not. Remember, I am the boss here. Your cock is mine. Your orgasms are mine too. Perhaps this weekend isn’t for frolicking. Maybe we should wait a week to really enjoy ourselves.” More eye flashing. “But there was an agreement…an agreement that you’d unlock me on October 8th.” I countered, “We agreed I am in charge of your cock and orgasms. I hold the key. I said I thought October 8th might be a release date.” He insisted, “It was an agreement.” I stated, “Yes, it was an agreement, but I remain in charge. This is non-negotiable.” A look of supreme irritation. “I can check your blog and see where you wrote I’d be released.” I shrugged. “I could always refuse to go back into the cage if you don’t follow our established rules.” I said, “Our rule is that I am in charge.” More glaring looks. I felt slightly apologetic since I helped clean up the kitchen. But I need moral support to stand firm on being the boss. This is my first real pushback. Naturally, I worry he might quit the game because I asserted myself. On the other hand, he admits he enjoys it, but this is the first time I’ve been assertive and he is annoyed. This happens when two equally assertive/non-assertive people play the chastity game together. I need to maintain my assertiveness and know he won’t cave in and quit. He is enjoying it; he says so himself. But I do need moral support.\nLoad up on the encouragement, friends. Help appreciated! D
