To the OP, I don't necessarily agree this is HIS fault, i believe much of it is your fault. Now if it were a regular vanilla equal opportunity relationship i would say yeah the fault lies with him and his behavior. However, this is not the dynamic you have choosen. From your post, you aren't in control -- period. You have choosen not to be in control and he has taken control. This could simply be a concept of you aren't able to maintain the dynamic over long distance and he doesn't feel the security of this and on some level is attempting to push you into taking the control he needs you too. You have to look at yourself in this -- not him. You have to evaluate what YOUR committment and ability is in this relationship -- not his. Once you know what you are capable of, what you are willing to do, and how you are going to be able to achieve it, then perhaps you may be able to step up to the plate and work him through whatever it is that will get him achieving the expectations you set and demand. I agree with LA, what do you do when he isn't in this outrageous behavior? Do you use your station and place in the relationship to work him towards your expectations and standards? Some people can't do long distance - i know i can't, i don't feel the control that i need to feel secure in this type of dynamic relationship, i have a temper from hell that is very verbal so i do easily find myself using the distance to do things i would NOT do if my Master was standing in front of me forcing consequences on me for not achieving and maintaining his expectations. To me, your posting what should i do concept tells me you are not ready for this relationship anymore than you make your partner sound ready for it. I cannot comment on his behavior because i have learned there are sides to every story so i am focusing on what you have offered -- YOUR behavior instead of placing the responsibility of your relationship on a party who is not here to clarify what you have stated about him. Its time you look at yourself and whether or not you are ready, able, and willing to step up to the plate to be what YOU need to be in this relationship to compel and get the reactions you expect and want. Sounds to me like you are putting the responsibility of this relationship on him. However, you also have to step up to the plate and BE the dynamic you claim to want but more importantly be able to hold the control and authority over long distance, if you can't and don't do that, the blame is not on your subs part fully but a lot of it is on your not being willing to acknowledge your lack of holding your part in the dynamic. angel
