A Master (or submissive - or anyone) will pack up their stuff and leave because they're unhappy. The way in which they leave, says a great deal, about where the unhappiness stems from. His not discussing it with you, not giving you warning, and "running" while at work, to my mind, shows he's afraid. Either of showing his emotions, or he has an inability to cope with other people's. Some men are lousy at being responsible and comminicating. I know you must be devasted, but do stop and wonder if you'd rather have a Master who wouldn't behave this way. Put it like this, at least you don't have the problem of how to get him out of the house. I agree with a previous post, about people behaving in this way, having something to hide. He clearly lacks any emotional maturity, and some people get attracted into being a Dom/Master, due to an innate need to control others, because they don't have control over their own emotions. They tend to be governed by that old primordial reaction... "fight or flight." Whatever happened in the relationship, my guess that he has some underlying problems, which you wouldn't have been able to help him with. Good tip... if someone has a problem, therapy is usually better than someone "close" trying to help. I know this sounds strange, but if the problems are serious, opening up to someone you're close to, actually increases feelings of vulnerability, for fear that what you say may be used against you, shame, guilt etc. Sorry for the pain you're feeling, but at least you're no longer living in a relationship which now clearly didn't have any security or stability (although I'm sure he hid this for some time). Take some healing time, look back to see if there were any signs of his problems, if there were, don't "beat yourself up"... but learn from it (hindsight is a wonderful thing, but only when used not to repeat mistakes). If there weren't any signs... well you're not psychic, or a psychologist... so move on. Learn from the past, don't be governed by it. I wish you happiness. Joe
