I have always been a lurker, but I am going to post here, because no one else seems to have covered this particular piece of the issue, as far as I can tell. And that is the statement he made about you losing the weight and he will have sex...end of issue...no more discussion. I have found that being in a D/s relationship, even a casual encounter, requires that I trust my Dom more than ANY vanilla relationship that I have ever been involved in. And without trusting that he will discuss issues with me, fairly and with mutual respect, the trust fades. In my marriage of 10 years, I knew things were going to be ending when he started making these kind of non-negotiable statements of needs that I could not fill (in my marriage it was "I can't be with someone I have known for so long" but the point is the same). For my ex-husband and I, it was his way of trying to end the relationship without being the bad guy...insisting that I change something unchangeable and if I didn't clearly I didn't care enough to work to keep the relationship going. Now, I am not going to even venture a guess about whether or not your Dom is saying something similar. But what I am going to say is that for whatever reason, he is setting up an impossible situation that will ruin your relationship. Even if you lost the weight, you would never be able to trust that there might not be something else. So, it seems that you really have two options. Try to talk with him about what is leading to this impasse (and I would suggest finding a therapist to help you...you can talk about a lack of sex without revealing the D/s if that makes you more comfortable), or decide that you choose not to be with someone who has stopped working to make the relationship work. Anyone who chooses to remain in a relationship with you, when one of your very strong needs is not being met, is not a loving person. People deserve to have all their needs met, and whether he can't meet yours because of physical issues with him, or lack of attraction, either way, his not letting you go is NOT a loving act. Take your time...if you want to finish school first, do it. But talk to someone about why you are allowing someone who denies a huge, intrinsic part of you, why you are allowing them to make you feel less than anyone else. Someone will love you for all of you...you don't need to stay with someone who only loves part of you (and I DON'T mean your weight).
