Relationship Reviews

Scheduled D/s check-ins with structured prompts, threaded discussion, and dual sign-off

What Are Relationship Reviews?

Relationship Reviews are periodic, structured check-ins between partners in a D/s dynamic. They give both the Dominant and submissive a dedicated space to reflect on what is working, what needs adjustment, and how the relationship is evolving — outside the heat of the moment.

Why Reviews Matter
Regular check-ins prevent small issues from becoming big ones. They also create a shared record of growth that both partners can look back on over time.

Creating a Review Schedule

  1. Navigate to Relationship Reviews
    Go to Connect → Relationship Reviews in the main navigation.
  2. Create a New Review
    Click "Create Review" and select which partner to review with. Choose a review frequency: weekly, biweekly, monthly, or custom.
  3. Choose Prompts
    Select from built-in prompt categories or write custom questions. Prompts cover topics like satisfaction, boundaries, communication, and goals.
  4. Set the Schedule
    Pick a start date and recurrence. Both partners will be notified when a new review instance opens.

How a Review Works

Independent Responses

When a review instance opens, both partners answer the prompts independently. Neither partner can see the other's answers until both have submitted. This ensures honest, uninfluenced responses.

Discussion Phase

After both partners submit, the review enters the discussion phase. You can see each other's responses side by side and have a threaded conversation about each prompt. Use this space to clarify, ask follow-up questions, or acknowledge concerns.

Dual Sign-Off

When the discussion feels complete, both partners sign off on the review. Each person can include a brief summary of their key takeaways. A review is only marked complete when both parties have signed.

Sign-Off Is Not Agreement
Signing off means you have read, discussed, and acknowledged the review — not that you necessarily agree with everything. It is a confirmation of engagement, not endorsement.

Viewing Review History

All completed reviews are stored in the History tab. You can browse past instances to see how responses have changed over time, track recurring themes, and revisit discussion threads. This creates a living timeline of your dynamic's evolution.

Relationship Reviews are intentionally symmetric — both partners have equal access and equal voice in the process.
