Your dynamic seems very much like the one I had with my last dominant, only I was with him for far less a time than you. I wracked my brain, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Those who were telling me he was a jerk "just didn't understand". I was the problem - didn't they get it?? I was often told I could never be pleasing, and I did not have what it took to be a submissive, and I was not worthy of his time. I was often sent away for days on end without being allowed to contact him, and not being worthy enough to see him often (we lived 20 min apart). During these times of isolation, he was considering whether or not he should keep me. Sound familiar? By the time my spirit was thoroughly crushed, I called upon a Dominant friend for help, who had known me for years (our friendship was an online one- he lives in Ireland and I'm in California). He said words that meant everything to me at the time, coming from someone who knew me well and who did not often compliment others: "I have been reading your emails to me over the past few months, and I see the message within your words. Since I know you are a good girl, I can only assume it is he who is the problem, to have brought you to such a state. Write him a letter, and tell him since he can not decide whether to keep you, you are deciding for him, and promptly leave." He was one in whom I had trust, and I heeded his advice. Surely these people in your life who have known you so long LOVE you, and find you worthy of their love. Please trust in that, rather than in a man who is trying to break you down. Even if you do not see your own value, listen to what your loved ones are saying - they do see it!! I know what it is to know the truth but be too afraid to say it. I know what it is to have no self esteem or sense of self worth. You think you are the problem here, so leaving would only be another mistake, right? And for someone whose spirit is crushed, one more mistake would be the last nail in the coffin. But what if taking a step in a HEALTHY direction (selfish as it may feel) is the first step toward your own internal happiness? Being happy really isn't selfish. And serving one who appreciates and enjoys who you are will turn this entire nightmare into a distant past. I truly wish you well.
