Hon, I am really sorry you are feeling so shocked and hurt and I totally understand why. I also know what you meant about still submitting in accepting that he needs space at the moment to sort himself out. That is probably a good way to look at it. I can also see your point about not being able to switch with the same person, i can't see the switch between Master and myself flipping the other way either, though I am more than happy to Domme someone else. So obviously the required solution is a Mistress for your Master! Is this something you can support and help him to find?? It sounds as if your Master is rather like Me, in need of being a duality rather than a switch, ie having BOTH of his "sides" fulfilled simultaneously to be completely happy. And I know that's not easy to achieve, but neither is it impossible. I was lucky enough to find a Master who understood my switch needs, and who was initially willing to stick with me through a long and painful period with a "sub who wasn't". Now W/we have moved away from that situation and are still together, i admit freely that i have had periods of wishing that i could be 100% happy being 100% sub. It would be so much easier to just be Master and i! But the truth is ... i can't. My Domme side keeps popping up and demanding to be heard. And Master, bless Him, knows that. So He has encouraged Me to find a sub ... and that's not been easy either. BUT ... I have a fem sub here at the moment who is working out remarkably well, may yet work towards a 24/7 future. And Master is delighted! she comes in knowing she is on the bottom rung of the hierarchy, knowing that Master and i have the primary relationship, and she is fine with that thus far. And I know I feel SO GOOD with both Jay and violet flowing freely. I do understand how your Master feels, it is hard enough for me to keep my Domme side under control in my interactions with Master when She doesn't have an outlet! Must be even harder for him to try to put his mind to Dominating when his sub side is screaming out for the chance to lay down control and place it in someone else's hands. I think he has been honourable in telling you that while he is not in control of himself, he should not be in control of you, and as you said, you knew he was a switch when you signed on. I am surmising you would be quite happy to be like My sub in the future and be in a hierarchy if your Master finds a suitable Mistress. His "failing" was disappearing for a few days, not appropriate, but, I suspect, borne out of his sense of desperation at the situation. That he needs to apologise profusely for and should give you the assurance it will not happen again. At very least he needs to tell you "hey I need to disappear for a few days to get my head together, I promise I will contact you by x time, please don't worry!" you are a strong girl and this has been a strong relationship, you have a good support network, therefore I have faith that you will come through this. Hold on to the thought that it could all work out ... but it may not happen as fast as you wish, given it isn't always easy to find a Mistress. However, I hope there will be One out there who recognises that a man who is already a Master has to have a lot of useful knowledge and skills to be an excellent sub! That was Master's take on it anyway! All the very best to both of you! Maam Jay aka violet[A]
