ORIGINAL: IAmSoSorry Question for the dominants. Having been in the dominant position before, I know what my answer to this is, but maybe I'm mistaken. In a D/s relationship, isn't the dominant, both partners for that matter, reponsible for ensuring that basic personal, daily and human needs are met?? Point in case. If anyone who's read our story will remember, my gf has assumed the dominant role, at my urging, with my blessing, and she's being "mentored" by a pro-domme she recently met. Her level of training, of "breaking" me is excellant, however, my needs are being ignored. In a relationship that made too many mistakes in, taking her for granted, ignoring her emotional needs, I know that she's trying to make me feel the way she did, by physically forcing me into situations that stimulate me emotionally as she was by my actions. And it's definitely working. Specifically, she has kept me up every night, since this started Saturday until well after 4AM. I get up at 6:30 everyday for work. And don't get home alot of nights until well after 10PM. Last night I had 30 minutes. The night before 2 hours. Before that, about three hours. Plus, the only place she wants me to sleep is in the bathtub, which is way too small. Actually, imagination wise, that's great. It's a job that requires a high level of mental awareness. Today, I dozed off while home for a break, and overslept, missing an important 7PM meeting. If I fall asleep now, my chances of sleeping through the alarm are great. I sleep like a rock, anyhow. I'm 40 years old. The days of working all day, playing all night are far behind me. This job is in a high pressure environment, where things like what happened tonight, and what could happen if I miss my morning meetings will cost me my job. BTW, my job is the sole source of income that we have, and financially, we're struggling right now as it is. Her response to me voicing my concern was to accuse me of not being committed to this, announcing that it's over because of that, and hanging up, then refusing to take my calls. I asked her to talk to her mentor about this type situation ,and she said she has, and although she has a good point as to why she needs to deprive me of things, this particualar need is something that's not physically capable to be met by me. I want to please her of course, but a line has to be drawn where a) individual needs, not wants are not being considered, and in a case where we are a family, b) being able to step outside these roles we've assumed and being the typical nuclear couple. Is this mentor she's talking to giving her wrong advise, is she taking what this woman, who has 20+ years in the scene is telling her the wrong way, or am I completely mistaken?? As a few people have pointed out, and some of us did early on, you don't need BDSM in your relationship, you need therapy. You came on here glowing about what you thought was the BDSM-injection your relationship needed to make things closer, and in reality it's now a train wreck. I would also agree that your girlfriend is using this as a way to get back at you for hurting her. This is her, "Well, this is what you wanted ISN'T IT??" slap in the face. It's not caring bdsm, it's dysfunctional. Your relationship needs to start over at square one -- get counseling, stop ALL bdsm, stop porn, and spend a good year I would say just learning to communicate and function. You can't "add on" bdsm to a struggling relationship and think it's a band-aid. Akasha
