feeling lost as daddy

i started dating this girl last year she is so sweet and playful we met over shared interests in kink and bdsm and ageplay stuff. i am a daddy type and i really enjoy the role. at first everything was great but lately shes been pushing back on some of my limits and rules which i set for her space as well as ours together. its like she wants to challenge them more often now and this is making me feel unsure about how much control i have in our dynamic. im worried that maybe shes not into it as much anymore or that shed rather be more equal. weve talked about it but i still cant shake the feeling of being an asshole for having these rules in the first place. am i just being too strict or is there something else going on? how should i handle this without ruining what we have? im not sure if im reading her signals right and its really bugging me.
