Man I think the crowd in here's a rough one! Sorry so few took your statement serious in here. I agree if he'd said in advance this was temporary you have to accept that's part of your agreement with him. In that you did not fail him, he's just at the point he's feeling like he's taught you what he wanted you to learn. Look at this as a graduation of sorts. Remember the good things and your lessons learned. Focus on the posative things you accumulated in the relationship you had and be glad you have that to build on now. I know how you feel. I too am newly released by my training Dom. The choice in my deal to walk away was my own, not his though. I ask for my release and moved out on my own 8/5/06. I understand he adrift feeling you're having. It's hard when you consider another's needs before yours so long you're no longer you. I too feel wierd even doing little things like making coffee, dressing, or chores as they are totally different things now. As a submissive I lost my identity to my Dom as an individual too. What I'm doing since I begged release is re-evaluating who I am as a sub, what makes me happy as a person in general, what I need, what I don't want, and who I am on my own two feet. I figure till I understand and like my life no one else really will either. My advice is to sit back and figure out who you are & get your act straight before you go seeking another Dom. Figure out how to be independent and do things for you again. If you don't know what you need how will you be able to start a new relationship that you'll flourish in if you have not decided on what you want first? I know it's a hard lonely place you stand in now. It sucks for sure. I also know to start another relationship out of the desire to have someone before I've got myself straight will just be inviting problems back into my life. Get whole, get healthy, then find your mate or play friends & not before. I think playing while soul searching blurrs the lines too much to do both things at once. Suzanne
