Making up after an argument

I have name changed for this as I am not sure how I feel about it, maybe embarrassed. I will give context.

DH and I been together over 5 years and barely argue. We don’t really bicker either although we might be sarcastic and silly to each other from time to time, we do joke and mess about so we aren’t completely boring!

We recently had a series of miscommunications, brought on by late nights and taking on too many family and DIY tasks in a short space. These built up some resentment and ended up in me getting upset, and him getting frustrated and us just not working it out as a team. FYI He is a very respectful man towards women and a great hands on partner.

We argued our points but quickly cleared the air and made up in about half an hour. During this disagreement he raised his voice for a couple of sentences - firmly, but not yelling or rude, or anything mean, in frustration as he felt I wasn’t listening to him.

For context It was more like a headmaster using his Authoritative Voice than mean or horrible. I wasn’t upset, I will be honest, and this is why I am embarrassed, seeing this side of him and him being all authoritarian really turned me on. I did not tell him this but since the disagreement I’ve been all over him and he has no idea why.

I do not want him to start bossing me about with this voice, and I am not going to start arguments for the sake of it but wtf is wrong with me? 😂 should I NOT tell him!?

My partner is the most kindest, respectful man I've ever met. Has never raised his voice at me and treats me better than I was ever treated in the 20+ years with my ex. He's huge, tattooed and very manly looking but his personality is just like a big teddy bear.

Our dog was being a bit of a twat the other day and he told him off. Not in a horrible way, just in an authoritative way.
First time I've heard him raise his voice and my god the flutters I got 🤣🤣🤣

I did actually tell him that he has 100% free rein to speak to me like that in the bedroom lol. Couldn't miss out on the chance 🤣

@Confusedegg sounds like you just have a submissive side that you haven't fully explored yet! How would you feel if he was to order you around like that in the bedroom?
