Driven Nuts by Need and Doubt abt Mistress - 2/4/2008 5:54:04 PM

my Mistress moved away 10 weeks ago, after training me since May.  She is in sporadic contact without domination (except i do obey Her rules).  i’m doubting plans for me to eventually move in as Her 24/7 (with my own work).  For the first time, i’ve resorted to scanning ads again desperate for some kind of domination.

Mistress reassures me and i feel totally better and feel our connection when i do speak to Her on the phone.  i believe She is sincere and means what She says at the time She says it.  But i struggle with doubt because what She says doesn’t end up happening, like:  other aspects of training, phone domination sessions, Her picking up for regular phone conversations, seeing me when She’s here, and me visiting there.  There has been a pattern of generally less and less, and meetings tending to coincide with financial assistance to Her, and perhaps frequent demanding events in Her life.

To my email expressing some of this She listed the overload and stressful things going on in Her life and hoped it would reassure me.  Nothing's wrong--it's just circumstances.  She didn’t reference any specifics of what i wrote; i don’t know if She read it all, so i feel communication is limited.  i think to myself if She really has interest in me as a live-in, wouldn’t She communicate more to keep the relationship alive?  Wouldn’t She make some comment about me going without cumming since our last play for way longer than i ever have (10 weeks), even a "good boy" or snicker, if She had attention on me?  Don’t good Dommes take account of their slave’s needs in times of absence?  But then others say it is only the Domme’s needs and couldn't care less about slave needs—but isn’t that still within a context of ongoing domination?  Mistress has said this may be good training for me to get over being clingy.  Maybe i’m just a whining slave and neglect IS Her dominating me.  But then where is the exchange of energy that some talk about--without an exchange with the slave, and where is finding fulfillment in pleasing the Domme--without feedback to the slave that the Domme is pleased? 

Isn’t my compulsion for domination and being a slave a result of Her training and what makes me Her slave?  If i could set it aside, wouldn’t that mean to a Mistress that intends total submission that i need more training until i couldn’t set it aside—“creating a hunger that cannot be resisted” as some Domme said?  Yet as Mistress it is up to Her when and if She dominates me, but how long should i be expected to be able to go without it, with only my rules?  Well, i do okay when i can set aside my doubt and my non-acceptance of possibly being in limbo for months longer--only to find out it just won’t ever come to be as has happened to me in the past with another woman.  i think it is the combination of both need AND doubt that is the problem. 

i am grateful for Mistress, Her rules, and to be Her slave, and want that very much (of course—She trained me and She’s Dominant) and i like, love, and feel connected to Her, feel She's talented, beautiful, and too good to be true, and would so kick myself if i found out it would have happened if only i had been more patient and able to set aside my interpretation of the disparity between Her intention and actual action.  i also would hate relocating on Her assurances only to find in fact i hardly ever see Her, if only because of life occurrances, so my desire for actions from Her is a test.   It would also be sad and painful for it to end, and though it’s not for the best, i’d feel in a panic without a Mistress. 

i’m sorry to be so long laying it out, there seem to be multiple issues contributing to my connundrum.  Can anyone relate and share their experiences, how they deal with need and neglect and knowing/finding out whether the relationship is real, or if there’d be better points of view for me to act from? 

Thanks,
slave to obey You

You aren't getting what you need out of the relationship.  She needs to be up front with you.  Sounds like something is going on and she's not telling you the truth, or doesn't know how she feels about you and can't come clean about it.

I think if someone needs 'time' in a span of months instead of a couple weeks, then it deserves a good hearty conversation. Something along the lines of "I don't know when life will settle down for me, and I don't want to keep you hanging on the line indefinitely." Otherwise it seems a bit shadey and inconsiderate to me.
Long and short is, You're not getting what you need to be happy. You are appreciative of the time the two of you did spend together, and you miss it. Make that clear to her, you loved what was there, but it seems to be gone. You can't hang out in limbo for months at a time, I don't think that's healthy for the emotional mindset.

replace "absence makes the heart grow fonder" with "out of sight, out of mind"  it hurts for a bit, but gives room for growth.

It probably isn't her intent for things to be going the way they are. But, they are. Is the relationship healthy for you? Are you fulfilled in the relationship? If no, you need to be honest with her about how you feel and about how the relationship will end if it doesn't get better. Don't give an ultimatum, merely explain that you can't continue as you are (if this is true).

But, DON'T pursue another until this relationship is over. The next Mistress might not respect that you didn't end it with the former first...and she'll have it in her mind that you'll do the same to her.

I agree that it's really hard to submit to a non-existent Dom/me.  Doesn't there have to be someone at the other end dominating?  Along with everyone else, I think communication is the key.  Also what MasterFireMaam says, don't go talking to a new one til ya got this thing sorted out.  It's cheating and not fair to anyone.

Thank you all for your comments.  It touches my heart to get them and it amazes me how helpful it is to get other's perspectives and validation when i'm just stuck going back and forth in my own mind and emotions.

Now for the "tough love" segment of our program:

Your statement above sets off MAJOR alarm bells that she is just stringing you along and taking advantage of your good nature when she needs cash or something else from you.  I totally empathize with how hard it is to move on, but the quicker you can do so, the better for your emotional health adn your wallet.

I dealt with similar issues regarding the money. I was the recipient of a lot of attention for a few days before the hinting started. If I ignored the hints the attention became overwhelming to the point that often I would offer. If I didn't the actual request would follow. Of course it was always a loan to be repaid immediately. After 3 years I never saw one repayment. One thing that I have learned is that ACTIONS speak louder than words. No matter how badly we need to believe the words. Listen to your instincts and lockmeupplease.
