So I've been talking with this guy for awhile now and I'm starting to feel I'm wasting my time. Everything seems one sided. It's like wanting something to work but everything seems to fail. So much energy put into it and nothing ever comes out of it. I thought this was it, but I guess I was wrong. I don't want to end it, because I want things to work, but I'm emotionally drained and tired of feeling like everything he says now is a lie. Hate is a strong word, but I'm really not liking him very much at the moment.

Don't stick around. You think you are drained now? Check back in another month after you struggle with your relationship.

Just step back, take a breather, maybe go get a massage. Lies will destroy a relationship like nothing else can, don't try and salvage something, especially since you seem to be pretty sure that it's a failure.

Hope; wishful thinking; fantasy - it all comes from the mind.  When your gut is telling you the opposite, it's usually never wrong....  Time to face reality, as you already suspect.

Yours is a very common tale-and not restrired to BDSM realationships either. I have talked to many subs who have told me that they met so and so and he has "rocked their world" and they can't be apart from him for a second. Then you meet them six months later and so and so is ancient history.

In your case, you've put in way too much time. Time to go and find another-using what you've learned from this relationship as life experience.

So you are talking to a guy but haven't established a real life relationship and it's feeling wrong to you.  If it feels wrong, it probably is.

Very often i see (not to sound sexist but it tends to be more a female thing) people who define themselves by their relationships that they are afraid that if they aren't in a relationship they have no identity of their own.  It is this fear of loss of identity that drives people to stay in bad relationships.

Why do you want things to work when clearly you feel drained, feel everything is one-sided and you aren't even liking him at the moment?  Why oh why do you want things to work? 

Let's say i found the cutest pair of shoes!!!  They are adorable and i really want them, but there's only the one pair and their not my size, they are like three sizes too big.  Should i buy them anyway, stuff the toes with paper, risk twisting my ankle, spend days on end with sore feet, just because they are the only pair of those shoes?  Or would you advise me to leave those shoes on the shelf and keep shopping?

You're not asking a question, so I assume you're not looking for an answer or opinion.  Read what you wrote.  Your situation and options are pretty clear.  It's up to you to decide what you're going to do or not do.

It's difficult to pack it in on things we want to work out.  Yet, it's difficult trying to make things work out to only find it's really going nowhere.   It's a double edge sword of staying with it or packing it in.   It almost becomes a twisted form of emotional masochism. 

However, once you've become emotionally drain, the emotional masochism is not very much fun anymore.  To finally reach your emotional limits.  I read a post on here last week, basically it a general statement about anything that will cause them permantant harm or fuck them up for the long term, is not something they are into doing.  The post was about physical things, however, I stopped and thought about it from the mental and emotional ends. 

Some relationships are best to stay clear of, if they are going to fuck you up.

It's a lot to deal with and sort out.  Trust me, I know all too well.  You have to consider though, that packing it in on something really is the best thing to do.  That really you are not giving up, that in all honestly if you stuck with the current relationship you would be giving up on things.   Basically somebody else is probally more worth your time and energy.   Do you see where I'm coming from, when I say if you stick with what is going on, you are actually giving up on something? 

I totally understand how hurt, leads to frustration, then how that shifts into anger.  I even know how anger then shifts back to the true pain that it really is, and deep into something call sadness.  Sadness leads to depression, depression to a sense of dispair.   Then you give up in believing that there's anything beautiful in this world to be had.

If you stick this out for too long, it will damage things such as faith, sense of self worth, belief that good things can happen.  All that fun stuff.   You'll find yourself becoming Jaded and Cynical, and a little bit pissed off at the world around you.

Sure, all us human beings are not perfect.  We all have our flaws and faults.  We all have our darksides.   But we also have other qualities, strengths, wonders and beautiful things about ourselves.

I'm just tossing out things on this message board.  Trust me, I've been to Hell and Back again, and Hell and back again.  Each time, it changed me.  For the better or for the worse, I have not figured it out yet.   I just know personally, It effected me.

Ok, I know I'm a DOM and I'm supposed to be all Domly and powerful.  But I tell you, emotions when you have them.  You have them.  When I hurt, I hurt, when I love, I Love.  Really simple as that.  We all have emotions that we have to deal with.    It's hard to look somebody in the eyes, say, "I love, but this all has to end". 

I generally try my best to talk and communicate things, figure out if anything can be done.  However, there comes a time, when you realized, you have tried everything humanly that you know about doing.   When you yourself run out of options, games plans and your own coping abilities are being exceeded.   It's time to bail...

The alternative is to keep on going "living life in a living Hell", pressing forward with a strange twisted form of "living death".

Ok, I know I'm expressing a lot of things.  A lot of things from my own personal experience and from my perspective.

The only person that can save you from anybody including yourself, is yourself.

*Laughs*  And i think some women use that same logic for having relationships.....

When you want something so badly and feel that you may have something close, it can be easy to believe that you should just work and wait for it to fit. Only you know if this is really a "growing into it" situation or an "I'm desperate enough to accept something that will never be right" one. When I hear that you feel like he's been lying to you - even before you've met!? - I know which one it sounds like to me! Of course, I feel that relationships like these require even more honesty than vanilla ones...

What she said, in a big way. 

Relationships take work, but the getting-to-know-you dating phase is when people are on their best behavior, being the best them they can be, trying to favorably impress each other.  Aside from the giddy weirdness of New Relationship Energy, it should be a walk in the park.  If it's not, it's probably time to reconsider.

What you're seeing is this guy's best behavior.  This is probably as good as it gets.  If this isn't what you want, this is not the guy for you.  He may be great for someone else, and you'll be doing him (and you) a favor by getting out before there are a lot of hard feelings.  They make it tough to move on with a positive attitude.  If you can acknowledge that and let it go while you can still truly wish him well, you're putting yourself in a better position to meet someone who will be a better match for you.

That sounds like pablum, I know, but it's what kept me sane through a 5-year round of dating, trying to find my wonderful and talented hubby, Al.  I had to stay optimistic to remain in the dating pool.  After a bunch of false starts it was clear that the best way to do that was to have a good catch-and-release program - to know what I needed from a relationship and be ready to let a prospective partner go when it became clear that we were not compatible, before attachment and hurt and blame could develop.  It's possible that I jettisoned someone who could have made a good partner, but more likely that we'd both just be miserable.  I ended up with someone who is absolutely perfect for me, so I have to think that the catch-and-release program worked out pretty well.
