He doesn't respect you, and you owe him nothing at this point. I know "submission is a gift" is a cliche, but this is a perfect example of it. You gave him a wonderful gift, and he threw it in the back of the closet. Well, screw him (figuratively), now he's not getting to play with it anymore. You're taking it back. I'm with DarkSteven on this, "DIAF" followed by a complete communications blackout is the way to go.

quote: ORIGINAL: HeartAndSoul31 I have a 4 years relationship with a Dom who is moving several states away to finish his studies. I care greatly for him but I really don't want to continue a long distance thing. We never saw each other much and due to our situation there have been difficulties seeing each other regularly over the years but have stayed connected through the internet and texting. I have never been over pleased with our arrangement, a lot of physical things were missing to make the relationship feel whole to me from the beginning but the attraction I had for him held things together. With him leaving I really don't feel the relationship will last. He insists it will. I spoiled him most of the relationships with gifts and honestly I think it's that he wants to hold on too. Sexually I was the giver and received very little if any reciprocation. I don't want to end things on a bad note but he seems not to be able to understand long distance will definitely not satisfy me. Cyber I g does nothing for me. Any suggestions? I just really am at a loss to make it clear to him, moving on for me is better. His response is " it ends when I say it ends" Thanks in advance for much needed advice or story sharing. The real situation is different. After all, he is leaving several states away for a good reason. You have had a sexual relationship but somehow he had the sex and you did not at the same time, and you somehow put up with that for four whole years, what a saint you are! Then, apparently he cares about you and so leaves open the door to maintain the relationship long distance, normally done for you rather than him. So, instead of saying yes or no and/or simply breaking contact with him after he leaves, you come on here and bad mouth the guy and get some drama and miss-placed sympathy. You know, you've been with him for four years so show a bit of loyalty and a caring for his feelings at least until he rides over the horizon. Damn, I'm glad I did not spend four years with you.

His response is " it ends when I say it ends" Thanks in advance for much needed advice or story sharing. I have *loads* of suggestions and one "absolute". First; the absolute: At the risk of sounding like a "one-twue-way" type, the part that I highlighted is NOT D/s or BDSM. It is abuse. It is "kidnapping" it is "false (emotional) imprisonment". Just based upon that alone, I usually try to avoid relationship advice but in this case: grind the asshole under your wheels. Now, forgetting his cranial-rectal insertion ... Being submissive doesn't mean that you have top abdicate all your hopes and dreams; it means that *sometimes* those things need to take a backseat to his. No more. No less. It's why it takes so long for people to really find the people they're supposed to be with because there's a lot of grey area but there's a lot of black-and-white, also. EVERY PERSON has one or two things that they absolutely will NOT tolerate in a relationship. Some have more than one or two. That's their prerogative. The point is: you have every right to not "settle". I don't care if he's moving away or not. There are obviously issues in this relationship. If you've talked to him about them and nothing's changed then he isn't worth the effort. As a side note: If you haven't talked to him about it; shame on you. Screen captures *still* RULE! Ya feel me?

Arturas -> RE: Breaking it off with a Dom (7/25/2014 9:44:50 AM)
FR Most people are pretending once he leaves several states away that it matters what he thinks or that you care what he thinks, when you obviously don't. His purported statement "it ends when I say it ends", probably said once during an emotional moment, is just that, a normal emotional statement and I will not pretend that you took that seriously, not enough to comment and more or make some bad judgment of him based on this. Nor am I going to pretend you are somehow prevented from doing what you want by all this. I will however still say you should be loyal at least until he leaves, you have been with him for four years so apparently either you are a fool or you enjoyed the relationship. I do know this, I'm not a fool so cut the drama and tell him you have gone on CM and made him look bad and therefore you are not worth being concerned about from his perspective. He will move on.

AthenaSurrenders -> RE: Breaking it off with a Dom (7/25/2014 10:35:20 AM)
Why wait until he leaves? Since she's decided the relationship is over, whatever the reason may be, why not just be up front with him and let him plan accordingly? If my partner knew he was done with our relationship, I'd want that information right away so I could make informed decisions about what to do next. I wouldn't appreciate someone who no longer wanted me sticking around out of 'loyalty'. It doesn't really matter how long they've been together. She's not happy in the relationship and expects things to get worse.

Don't just pretend I said she needed to wait around or hide her feelings TO HIM out of loyalty. I said to not publically crap on him out of loyalty.

RockaRolla -> RE: Breaking it off with a Dom (7/25/2014 11:45:14 AM)
I don't see how being with someone for X amount of time prevents one from asking what to do when a real problem arises, or even venting if she feels the need. I also don't understand the attitude that "bashing someone on collarme" (which isn't even what OP is doing) is the absolute worst thing one can do. We're random sometimes-faceless nobodies on the internet. Do we know OP's partner? Do we have any drive to find out? Do we have desires to get back at said partner for committing heinous crimes against the OP? I can't speak for other posters but I know the answer is a flat NO in my case. Let the OP seek the help she needs, whether it be deciding what her next step is or simply process her feelings about what's going on. You seem to be under the impression that the previous four years were amazing for her. My interpretation was different. Hell, she even stated (and you quoted) that she wasn't perfectly happy with the arrangement. It is entirely possible that she wasn't feeling euphoria for all that time and stuck with him for her own reasons. Many of us have been there.

DesFIP -> RE: Breaking it off with a Dom (7/25/2014 8:32:46 PM)
She didn't have a great time for four years. She got taken advantage of for four years. She owes him nothing. He on the other hand, apparently owes her a lot of money.

goodsubinCO -> RE: Breaking it off with a Dom (7/25/2014 8:54:20 PM)
Have learned if you just ignore him, he will lose interest and go away on his own without you having to do much about it.. ignore his every attempt to regain contact with you. I know it's going to be hard, but it does work. And last I checked you had not given up all your rights.. So if you want out, he should respect your desires. When he doesn't then if you must consider treating him like any vanilla stalker.. get a tro.. take self defense classes.. and protect yourself. Sincerely, Sheryl

Big time. So you have sympathy for her...well...

I sort-of agree with Arturas here, except that loyalty isn't the reason. 1. If a sub is in an active relationship with a Dom (not really the case here), then bad mouthing him publicly (here, offline, or anywhere) will bias her own mind against him and make the relationship harder to make work. 2. If she's committed to the relationship, she should not speak ill of him. If she's not committed, she should leave. One or the other. (I had one sub who told two other local Doms that I had punished her incorrectly and should instead have found out why she did something that was a serious offense. I simply took that as a relationship-ending action, and we went our separate ways shortly thereafter.) 3. As is frequently stated to male subs, any posting made, can be seen and used as a determination of a sub's suitability. (NOTE - that's a general statement. In OP's case, she's mostly being factual and asking for general input, so it really doesn't apply to her.) Like I alluded to, I don't think the OP posted to bad-mouth him as much as to lay out her case as objectively as she could and solicit others' insights.

HeartAndSoul31 -> RE: Breaking it off with a Dom (7/26/2014 9:35:20 AM)
He disappeared on his own terms without notice. This was an unnecessary thread but one I don't regret. He was always strong dominant and solid, and that I can respect. I wish him all the luck in the world in his new chapter in life. ... And the light went out just like a switch.

I assume he knows you and is free to log onto here and be hurt by your disloyal posting. Have you considered that he did indeed do that and dropped out of your sight because of it? Don't throw this crap around and expect to smell like a rose afterward.

Life lessons, no matter how tough, are here to teach us as much about what we DON'T want, as they are to teach us what we need. As for Arturas??? Meh. Ignore him. We all do. He's harmless....
