When You have met your Perfect match, but She turns out to be a Submissive just like You. What is a Submissive to do? Ant, You don't change. Unless you eventually want to resent her or you want a casual relationship. The conflict with your core nature will eventually doom the relationship to failure. You can't love someone enough to change who you are. You can't physically train yourself to change your nature. A long time ago, left handedness was thought to be a curable infirmary. Left handed children were forced to write and do things right handed "for their own good". It was the results of this, training against nature, that were not good. The brain couldn't be re-wired, often it caused the child to stutter. "Love" makes you do strange things. It's the "wild-card" of this question. Can you love someone enough to change your nature? My answer would be no. I could still love someone who needed to dominate from time to time, but I could not have a relationship with that person as I do with beth. I think it's easier to have different degrees of love. We're used to that because love is different with parents, siblings, friends, etc. Intimacy in a relationship, beyond casual sex, is less compromising over the long term. Some people can't come to grips with the fact that some people are exactly what they say they are ALL the time. Whether it's envy or resentment doesn't matter. It's akin to claiming submissiveness, but needed to "release" or "purge" periodically. It you are living true to yourself and your nature, why would you need to purge? Why would you need/want a vacation from a reality you striven to achieve for your entire life? It's only the need to rationalize that causes people to put a derogatory label on anyone not compromising. But I can understand it. No one wants to admit to themselves that they are a fraud even if their own words and actions illustrate the fact. The most frustrating part after going through an honest self assessment and determining a relationship goal is finding someone to share that goal. You'll meet a lot of friends and near fits along the way. The near fits are the most frustrating. They are worthy of the attempt, but ultimately you have to decide if your self assessment was wrong or the relationship you are considering is wrong. Of course that decision is yours.
