I think this couple doesn't really work because seme is not a real sadist but more a dominant, and uke is a true masochist but not a real submissive. He doesn't like to listen to orders, but likes to be punished because of not listening. Except when the orders are for him to be in pain or humiliated.
While seme takes pleasure from controlling his partner, which he can't with uke who doesn't reallly listen.
But they're sexually very compatible, so that's why they lasted until now. But argue too much and have a lot of frustrations so it becomes unhealthy.
Am I right?
