Masters knows when i am PMSing and thus a little more cranky then normal. I guess we are not talking about PMS though. One day i was just in a mood and i told Master when he came over i was in a mood and i really needed a hug. he gave me hugs and kisses and my mood was changed to a much better one. I think much of it stemmes form just wanting attention. Even though my Master gives me a lot of attention. Matt's littleone

Littleone I know that feeling. Sometimes Im feeling sad of cranky just because I need Master to huggle me some. I always feel much better after he does... What I love doing and always makes me feel better is snuggling with my ear against his chest listening to his heart, it calms me down makes me feel peacefull inside!! Magik's slave

Would your dom? Likely no. Burnin has had numerous issues with this dom, this is just a recent manifestation. LA, you are correct. But, the answer isn't so simple - or, perhaps it is... I'm trying to figure it out. I truely love this man - on many levels. But, I cannot count on a future with him. I think we are destined to part ... it breaks my heart. The closer we become, the more we both see this must happen - not because we don't get along, but because we want the best for one another. For all here - he is a wonderful man. I just need more than he can give - like a future together. He is a pain in the ass, but a perfect gentleman too. He has a heart of gold. I adore Him.

This seems to help her make the transition from her work day and definitely puts her in a submissive mode. i read this and thought wow what a careing lovely person You are

I do care about the needs of my sub and take my responsibilities seriously. My sub has adult ADHD and though on medication, has a demanding job. Previously, she struggled quite overtly to settle down when she first came in the door; her eyes large like dinner plates, fretfully beginning one task before you completed the first, things she felt she must do (in her own mind) immediately. Being more laid back in that respect, it was virtually making me crazy and put me in a difficult mind space as well. I strive for the win/win resolutions first, and if there is no compromise available. its always my way.[8D]

I've sorta been there girls.. After ages of not saying anything and things going down the drain, you do learn to speak up. Luckily for me, my Dom knows me pretty well and i have a variety of ways of telling him something. The better your Dom's get to know you, the better they'll be able to see your attempts at communication. Though it doesnt always go that easy. I've gotten really good at saying "hey i need this" Last night, instead of saying "hey i feel like shit and i need you to be there" i broke down and cried on the phone about not being able to figure out what specific thing he wanted for his birthday. While i was able to list why i felt like shit i wasnt able to say "hey its been a rough week, i need some extra love" My Dom understood it for what it was and is taking steps accordingly to help me get through this tough week. ::sigh:: i still feel like shit and i dunno if i'm making sense. I'm trying to make the point of any communication is better then none. There are several ways to attempt communication. Generally once a Dom sees you are trying to communicate they'll jump in and help you get through the rest of it. If they know you well enough, they might be able to interpret your clues. When it comes down to it - sometimes you just have to speak up. If you dont communicate - things will go down the tubes. Its okay to have needs and wants and its okay to broadcast them to your Dom. If you think about it - you are actually serving your Dom when you broadcast your needs and when you communicate. They are rendered useless if they havent a clue what you need or what is going on. So if you dont let them know, you are actually doing a disservice to them.

It's the people pleasing aspect- we hate to think we're "burdening" people with our issues, specially the ones we've committed to pleasing! It's the perfectionist aspect- we hate to admit we're "not right and need help." It's the vulnerability aspect- it's HARD to just open up and admit what's really going on.

babysburnin, I feel for you, I have been in the same position before. I know how difficult it is once you realize what the future holds, and despite how badly you want things to change, you know the other person isn't capable. good luck to you.

Or...only the submissives who can relate to this issue are writing. I did not write because while at times there may be something he wants of me that I am not enthusiastic about doing, I could not relate to your OP of not wanting to fulfill my duties. My Master knows full well which things are difficult on me and which things I may not enjoy, because I tell him everything about everything. But I do them because when he instructs me to do them, then that must mean he wants me to go through that particular situation for his own reasons. Most of my challenges are from the mental/emotional exercises he pushes me through. They are not always pleasant, lol. A submissive/slave can not communicate upward enough. If someone is feeling less than enthusiastic about serving, that needs to be communicated as soon as possible.

I took as more of the times when I needed to study for a big exam, but I was just tired and frustrated and it all seemed "too much" to do. I didn't want to study for the exam, even though I knew it was the right thing to do and was "really what I DID want." It's a confusing, frustrating, tiring place. I'm glad Subsa was able to communicate through it, get better and learn a GOOD method to get through that frustration.

Even still, when I have those tired and frustrated moments within that bigger picture of what I do want, I do communicate that upward. He should always know where my head is. He can make informed decisions that way. If I am tired and frustrated but whistling happily because I don't want to burden or upset him, he might pile more on me and then not understand when I crumble. quote: It's a confusing, frustrating, tiring place. I'm glad Subsa was able to communicate through it, get better and learn a GOOD method to get through that frustration. Agreed, and I know early on in my relationship with my Master, there were times I was so tired I wanted to throw my arms up and scream "I GIVE UP!!!" I have had those moods. Even after I worked through them, I did let him know about them, as my pattern was always - have a mood, work through it, all is good, oops - another mood only a little bigger than last time cuz now I'm remembering the last time too, whew - worked through it, it's all good again....omg THIS mood is even BIGGER since I'm carrying all those past moods as resentments now....and so on. Gotta communicate all of it, no matter how small, even if you worked through it. At least for me, that was a must.

I've battled depression/mood disorders for most of my life, past traumatic events caused them, and everyone in my life that is close to me knows my issues and accepts the ways they effect me. This means I'll feel badly about not being able to fulfill something I would otherwise do were I not having a bad day, but at the same time I've learned carrying tremendous guilt only makes matters worse and I need to cope with the fact I can't be everything to everyone all the time. I think that same sentiment stands for every individual, regardless of whether they are a submissive or not. There will be times in life for bad days, for absolutely everyone, and nobody should feel like a failure when they happen. Maybe I just got extremely lucky to be surrounded by people who care for/love me enough to understand that, but I couldn't have it any other way.

I know that a big part of why Angel has problems communicating certain things to me is that he is worried that he is going to upset me by not wanting to do what I want. There are things in a new relationship that need to be communicated, and without that communication, nothing is learned. He and I are still learning about one another, still discovering limits and pleasures. Until he is comfortable communicating upward, whether or not its necessarily something I wil want to hear, we are going to stalemate. He is getting better about it, it is not an easy thing to overcome. As a sub or a slave, your main focus is pleasing your owner/master. There are things you might have to communicate that eont be pleasing, but you have to learn to do so in order for the relationship to be functional. Not always simple, but always necessary. DV
