I think for some the 'getting back to how it was' is the craving for the newness and all the excitement that was there. Actually this is a typical question that many of my clients will ask me. They seem to crave the rose color dream, which is what beginnings usually are. Many things are spoken at that time, perhaps promises as well, which usually stem from that newness period. Reality hasn't usually sunk in for at least 6 months, and then slowly the dreams of the past begin to fade away. This then is the period of finding what works in the relationship be it Ds/Ms or vanilla. As a submissive, i know there will be times that Sir will need to back of from the D/s relationship. Fortunately, i was told this would happen and to not pester him. A slave once told me they have to have 'me' time and just enjoy being them. Sometimes life creeps in with matters of work, health and family obligations, and the dynamic of the relationship will change as well. In those periods when Sir is not actively controling the areas of my life that he normally does, i continue to do as i been taught. If i run into a snag, i can email or call him about it, but i have to make sure it isn't my effort to bring him back to how i want things. This has been a hard lesson to learn, but can be learn. Things can never get back to as it was, but they can grow into a new level of relationship. The point is though is to stay in the here and now and not focus on what was. There have been times that Sir had to let me have 'me' time too, and missed that i wasn't at his beck and call. Life interfers at times, and we can adapt to this or not. blessings oceanwynds
