ORIGINAL: Dnomyar Lady Hibiscus. Who would be the alpha in the relationship? I agree with blacksword that there whould have to be some give and take but in the end there would still have to be an alpha. That's an awfully black and white view of the world. Determining who is going to be alpha in everyday life is actually pretty easy. There are many things that she feels strongly about, and many things that I feel strongly about. Very few are things that overlap, and if they do, we learn to compromise on those issues. I guess, however, that if your definition of dominant must include the need to micro-manage everything in life, that it would be very difficult to have a relationship of equals. All I can speak to is my personal experience, and in that I have found that a relationship of equals is far more satisfying than romantic entaglement with a submissive. Thanks, Asmodeus. Why DOES there have to be an alpha? Can't we share that role? Why will there not be a logical division of labor, the way there is in any household? There is friction in ANY relationship. If a person's dominance comes from a place of "I MUST be in charge at ALL times no matter what", then they are going to have a hard time dealing with another person that they are not controlling. I am very confident in who I am, and I have no problem stepping back and letting the other person get the job done. I am also capable of getting it done myself. Any problems can be discussed and ironed out, just as any two people would.
