ORIGINAL: elizabethVI At what point have the roles been reversed or is it just normal 24/7 man/woman, husband/wife. i have to practically force Master to take His vitamins/medications, eat better, exercise, get things done that He says He wants to get done, read books for classes He is supposed to read, Not eat foods that the doctor says He can not eat....etc etc etc. Along with all that i don't feel anyone is taking care of my needs...i no longer even care about my wants but it would be nice if someone would help me out with some of my needs once in a while. Have we lost the D/s relationship and now it's vanilla husband verses wife? Should i just let Him do whatever no matter the risk to His health and home and assume He knows best? i feel some of these things are really important to just let go... I can only speak to my own relationship, but (a big) part of that includes making his life easier. A lot of little things like, remembering the birthday's of his family members and making sure they have a gift, preparing foods that he enjoys eating, yes.. reminding him to take his pills and sometimes doing things that are 'bad' for him because he tells me to do so. Basically, I serve him as he requires and if he's not saying much about my service to him, that means I'm doing a pretty good job of it. Sort of like a 'no news is good news' thing. :) I'm the go-to girl for the details and grunt work and he's the big picture guy. That's just me, though and that sort of service to him fills a lot of me up. As far as my needs .. hell, I open my mouth and ask for what I need. I need to be whipped till I cry? I ask for it. I need a cuddle .. I ask for that as well. Master is not a mind reader .. he's just a man and he's flawed and he doesn't always think about what I 'need' in order to thrive. I guess I could resent that because I certainly think about what he needs and I do my best to ensure he gets it without asking .. but he's not me and I accept that and love the person he is, flaws and all.. just like he loves me, flaws and all. I guess my advice would be to open your mouth. If you need something, ask for it. Hell, if you want something, you can ask for that as well. Be prepared to be denied, but if you're not getting it by never asking, what do you have to lose by trying? Good luck, Celeste
