I have read through the 3 pages of posts on this topic, and it seems to me a common happening for a first time sub. I'll explain... We have natural urges and discover there is a Dominant compliment. It's like being a teenager again with the intensity of energy and emotion that gets thrown into high gear. "Sub frenzy" used to be a term....not sure if this is still being used? I had a friend, also submissive....she and I got into relationships at the same time. Hers was very much how you describe yours...in the beginning. She is still with him today, over 10 years later. My relationship lasted 6 months, although my partner and I continued to live together for 5 years as friends/roommates. From what you describe here, there can be many assumptions, but only you and he know the truth. From a psychological standpoint, he is creating with you, an extremely intense psychological situation. Because he has limited and intermittent contact with you, isn't operating in a transparent communication dynamic, and is apparently pushing a lot of your submissive triggers, I bet he can put you into both bliss and dispair with very little effort? This is an excellent lesson for you to learn regarding how much control are you willing to give up, to someone you don't 'really' know? It happens on a regular basis to newbies, especially online. It's a hard lesson, but worthwhile. Why do 'Dominants' do such a thing? Many reasons, beginning with ....'because you let them." You should look at actions not words. You should evaluate what you seek in a relationship, and choose who you interact with wisely. Don't give away too much power or control too soon. Get to know your partner...because it is a PARTNERSHIP....and make your own decision on whether he cares about and respects you enough, for you to give him access and control. Vanilla rules still apply, as several people before me have stated. You are fully participating in this dynamic...if you don't like it, stop playing. It's not anyone else's job to make you happy. Happiness occurs when you and your partner have complimentary needs, which the other person WANTS to meet. Now, to keep your honor and integrity intact, you can correspond with him politely. You can respectfully ask for what you want. Understand you are just communicating. As with all relationships, the other person can use this information as they see fit. In the end, if you are not happy, you've communicated what you would like, and you still aren't getting it, likely, you still will not be happy. At that point, its time to make a decision, and hopefully choose a path making decisions that get you to Happiness. Self respect and awareness of one's own power, are essential to understand, prior to giving them away. Wow, its late and I'm rambling. Time for bed. Good luck with these difficult lessons.
