I know I am not a submissive male ... but I am a dominant female ... obviously the word respect is a hot button for you, as well as his behaviour of blocking you .... (we all have our own hot buttons ) But I personaly do not understand why someone who is not in a dynamic with you needs to respect your position? defining yourself as dominant does not make you dominant over someone unless there is an agreement between you ... so there is no position of 'domme' that garners respect, just a self defined prefernce in relationship dynamics and kink activities... Everyone gets to define how they will allow others to treat them, but there is no automatic rights that come with being anything .. be that dominant .. submissive ... or anything.. I personaly do not want others 'submiting' to me without agreement ....... so why would I assume the same in reverse... indeed I find it annoying that some people try and force dynamics just because I am dominant For me politeness and common curtesy is always nice, but unless your friendship is based on a D/s interaction, I do not understand the expectation you have which seems to be based purely because he enjoys submission and you enjoy dominance You know enough about him to know his personality and from what you have shared he is not in submission to you, nor are you dominant over him, so there is nothing D/s about your relationship, and definitly no automatic position of 'Domme' Now being kind and considerate about how one expresses things is something I value in friends and others .. even those who are happy to tell me quite plainly what they like or do not like about an action or response of mine .... so I choose who my friends are and I use what I know about them to consider and weigh up any good or bad comments they make to me... and some can make me rethink and action or reaction ... but I do not expect them to 'submit' themselves to me just because they identify as submissive, slave or bottom and I identify as Dominant ... hope you work through why you have reacted as you have .. after all ... you only live your own life and sometimes its the not so pleasent or desired experiences which ultimatly help us to understand ourselves more. as to what actually happened to cause his reponse.. going by your own explaination of what happened .. some people expect dominants to behave in certain ways and to them, overtly expressed emotional reactions can seem very undominant because they show someone 'reacting' to someone elses actions... rather than being based in your own control of yourself.... that you are shoing some one else's ability to effect your emotions and expressions ius stringer than your own it could be that your happiness to overtly express things in this way .... to express your reaction as you say you do... is what he sees as something he can not respect... as its opposite to how he views the world Mz Minx (edited because not only cant I spell, I cant put in all the little words that should be there either *grins*)
