I broadly agree with just_ine. Its relatively simple he wants this, she wants that. People are saying she should tell him her concerns and he should listen to her. But they dont expand on what happens thereafter. There are 3 possibilites:-

1. He changes his mind/decision to take into account her wishes in which case who is leading and who following.
2, They reach a compromise solution in which case how is this different from vanilla marriage.
3. He doesn't change his decision.

Its not an issue regarding limits or safety. It purely about preference. The core issue here is should a dom change or amend his decision (preference) to accomodate the wishes of the submissive. If he is not going to reconsider then listening to her is simply gives a cosmetic appearance of her views being considered when in fact they are not. Reconsider or changing his decision because she doesn't like it affects the entire power dynamic and the relationship cannot be considered Ds. It would be like the general changing his decision because the private doesn't like it.

In the case of the OP it must be asked why are they together when their interest, objectives and direction are different. She wants to explore, he (presumably) doesn't. She feels she wants somebody more experienced. What can he do about that. How does listening to her make him more experienced.

Furthermore her pleasure should be in pleasing him. Here she is concerned about what she wants to do, her pleasure, her horizons. She wants him to subordinate or alter his desires to her desires.

The real Dom does as just_ine's dom does, That said, if its a trivial matter the dom could give way but at same time so could the sub. However this is not a trivial matter, it strikes at the heart of the relationship.

After listening to her what should the dom do other than what just_ines dom did in which case what is the purpose of listening. To make her feel her views matter when they aren't going to change anything. That sounds like a politician to me.
