I've never personally encountered this. My Master is dominant to me because he loves me. He has an assertive demeanor and is a natural leader, and thus his way of expressing his love lies in taking charge and taking responsibility for me, being my leader. This easily compliments my way of expression my love for him--submission, surrender, and obedience. Hence, it just works out well for us. My Master is not a sadist and thus he has never come across any conflicts with his drive to protect and take care of me. I imagine in the case where sadism/masochism is part of your relationship though, you could run into these problems/conflicts. But as OsideGirl said, here is a difference between "hurt" and "harm"--perhaps your dominant needs to learn the distinction? I would suggest talking to him about it, even if you think he has a lot on his plate right now. Putting it off will only raise your discontent and thus possibly take away from your ability to speak rationally about it later because you've kept it pent up so long. It is unfair to him and to you to keep your thoughts from him. He needs to know what you think and how you feel. How else is he supposed to be the one in charge? But for us to give you any real advice, you need to describe what you mean by "dominating you." Are you someone who requires to be actively controlled, ordered around, or micromanaged often, or even constantly? Are you referring purely to the bedroom aspects of things? The way things work for me, my Master remains in authority at all times but does not need to constantly push it in my (or anyone else he is in charge of) face or be overbearing with it. He gets respect, subservience, and obedience by deserving it and being a man people look up to. Some people don't like this style and need a more "in your face" approach (not that there is anything wrong with this, as long as you're happy with it.) Perhaps this is what you need and he does not realize it? Once again, talk to him about your need and his, and just see where it goes.
