ORIGINAL: julietsierra hey Prinsexx: From one emotional masochist to another, in good will, and yes, I'd say this to a friend - accompanied by a hug and an allowance for tears... My dear... get your head out of your ass. The man left for a week - not a year. It seems like a life time......... Yea... I know. But it's not - at the most, it's only 7 little days. He came to you, participated with you in a mind blowing intense scene and then, didn't follow it up that same night with an announcement that he was leaving, but phoned you later, so as not to ruin your night, to let you know. Yes, I know you're suffering from the flu. Yes, I know this could be sub-drop. But if you are an emotional masochist, then you should be well aware that you have probably attracted an emotional sadist. The flu is better and I am back to work. It was also sub-drop as the scene had made me as high as a kite. He is an emotional sadist anduses every subtle tool of it with as much skill as most would yield a cane, wield a crop or snap a whip. oooh, I do understand this completely... that's what it's like over here too. I've just come to appreciate his skill rather than crying about the fact that I'm his canvass. To tell the truth, I'm pretty proud of the fact that he can feel free enough to practice his artistry on me and that I'm strong enough to withstand the artwork and flourish. That's NOT a bad thing - IF you start to take your life in hand and begin the process of revelling in the process. If you are indeed an emotional masochist, for crying out loud, cry, weep wail and all that. Get it out of your system. Do it privately so as not to besmirch your Master, even if simply in reference. And then, when he comes back at the end of a week (a prime time for someone just starting on this road btw), ....in my previous Dom/sub a week's shut off was usual....but that was done BECAUSE I had behaved in a certain way...here He is away well simply because He chooses to be....you can go ahead and feel silly and cared for and all that, that you KNOW comes with his return. And it'll take some time, but if you stick it out, rather than running scared, you'll be rewarded by the most amazing moments when you can physically feel the fear leaving your body. I am in awe each time it happens, and more than awe, I am beyond grateful. Be aware and learn from this that you SURVIVED! (Living, you can shoot for next time, it's a process.) But damn it all, get your head out of your ass! Start contemplating his actions in the light of what you think he is trying to teach you. Hold your head up and get through this! ALL of us have some sort of abandonment issues. It does NOT mean we have to be ruled by them. Imagine your emotional self as this whiney little girl inside you stomping her foot and demanding that people (specifically your Master) pay attention to her - my favorite is Angelica from the Rug Rats........now how the good heavens did you know that a Dom named me Angelica??? She is a character in my books,,,the one who lives avanilla life and LIES...... Next imagine what you'd do with Angelica if you were her mother, then do it with yourself. )I usually send myself to my room where I can't bother everyone else until I can get ahold of that part of me. I have family members around that I don't need to upset by my little tantrums, so I go to my room and read) http://youtube.com/watch?v=raIGJ4OiTvY Did you watch the youtube video? It's pretty telling as to how that little girl inside us is acting...and here's the killer secret: the person she is manipulating the most.. is us. As far as his "heartlessness," let's just pause and think about that for a moment... He comes to you, he provides for you this intense scene. Ok, so he's not as demonstrative as you'd wish. Well, baby, it's not all hugs and kisses out there, and I'd guess that you've had more than one person in your life giving you those and then walking right away from you for all time. i am the one who does the walking as the mushy lovey dovey sentimentality just give me the heaby jeabies......He, on the other hand, is not leading you on. He's not cow-towing after you. He's being fucking DOMINANT. Just relax, know that your tears are making his day a lovely thing and RECOGNIZE that his actions, specifically the process of caring enough to leave you with a really really really good time with him to hold you over during the time he will be gone IS his way of being demonstrative. Well, while the lovey-dovey stuff doesn't ALWAYS give me the heebie-jeebies, I AM much more comfortable with it happening sometimes rather than always, and strangely enough, when it happens sometimes I appreciate it even more. So what the fuck are you doing shoving that in his face and saying you know he doesn't care? Right now my dear, I'd say you don't know a damn thing. You're right...i don't know my arse from my elbow or my anus from my apex.....Get through this week. Cry, yell at the dashboard of your car (oh the tales mine could tell!) get OVER yourself and get ON with living!! Show that man that you can be the asset he wants you to be - NOT the liability of someone clinging and fawning over every movement he makes. He is NOT answerable to you. He does NOT have to be there for every somewhat difficult moment in your life. YOU DO have the strength to do this stuff yourself. So he's an amputee... Do you ever for ONE moment stop and think about what that means in the overall formation of the man? This man has endured more pain in his life than you can even begin to imagine that you're dealing with by him being gone for a WEEK. For crying out loud!!! He's SHOWING you that you CAN endure!!! And just so you understand, most emotional masochists can't be TOLD this shit. They have to EXPERIENCE it. He's allowing you to experience the entire range of your emotions - not just the ones that make you feel good. OK got it. Oh, and just so I'm clear, I'd be willing to bet that he's not asking or expecting you to be emotionless. He's helping you to reach the point where you are in charge of your emotions. People can have emotions. They just shouldn't allow their lives to be ruled by them to the point where they are incapacitated by them. From what I've read of your experiences, you're still learning this. So... (and yes, these are the words I use when having this same conversation with myself from time to time)... shut up, sit down and like Greyhound, leave the driving of this bus to him!!! You WILL survive. And when it's all said and done, you might just learn to appreciate the long and difficult trip you're on. hug juliet Thank you from inside and outside the box.... Hey, no problem...there just aren't a lot of us out there and sometimes...it's just damn hard. But you can do it, and the week is nearly over. Now, think about what you did learn during this week so you have something you can tell him THAT'S UPBEAT!!! Let him know what you've accomplished - if you can do it honestly (cause believe me, there will be more tears...it's just that the good stuff will follow shortly too.) You can do this. Oh.. by the way...if you haven't figured it out yet, you can run from the uncomfortable feelings, but a) they're always going to be around at one time or another and b) you'll never escape them, so better to be able to manage them than run from them. Oh... and one more even MORE important thing...I know it's hard.. but QUIT attributing what other dominants have done for you to this guy... If he's as good as he sounds with regard to ES/EM, (hey...what's one more acronym, right?), I'm betting punishment isn't part of the game plan. You are much too good at that process all on your lonesome. He doesn't have to do a thing...you can manage it quite well...So really, you don't have to worry a bit about him abandoning you out of punishment. He's simply got other things he needs to do. To him, I'd warrant, out of sight does not mean, out of mind. You're just going to have to look for demonstrations of how he feels about you to be much more subtle. His tableau is your mind and he's not going to risk harming that. juliet
