Analyzing My Daddy Play Obsession with Wife

I've always been a hands-on Dad, but about two years ago, my wife and I started exploring something that's become a bit of an obsession for me: Daddy play. It wasn't something we'd planned or discussed beforehand; it just happened naturally in the heat of things one night when she asked to be treated like a little girl again. From then on, our intimate moments became more playful and age-play oriented. At first, I was wary, I worried about stepping over boundaries, treating my wife like she's not an adult capable of making her own decisions. She reassured me that it's all consensual and fun for her too, but that doesn't quell the worry in my mind. The way she looks at me during our play sessions with those big eyes and asks to be held, to be told what to do, feels so natural now that I can’t imagine going back to regular intimacy without it. It's strange though, why does this feel more real to both of us? I mean, there are nights when she's all grown up and wants a partner who's equal in every way. But then we dive into our little world and suddenly, being the Daddy is where my heart truly lies. Am I just compensating for some kind of childhood inadequacy or fear that I never addressed properly? Or am I just playing out a fantasy born from years of watching movies and reading about this dynamic? I’ve tried talking to friends who know us well, but it’s hard to explain without sounding like we’re doing something wrong. They all reassure me that so long as both parties are happy and consensual in their kink, there's nothing unhealthy about it. But I can't shake the feeling that others see through this facade of adulthood into some sort of regression or imbalance. It's not just the intimacy aspect; even outside our intimate time together, she'll ask to be tucked in like a child or seek out physical comfort from me as her Daddy. I'm torn and seeking advice from more impartial eyes: Is there something wrong with enjoying this so much that it feels like I’m living my best life? Or is this just another facet of my personality that needs embracing rather than hiding? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
