I would like to add, I am sorry you have had your feelings hurt, and I think that some people take things more casually and less seriously than others do, hence the differing responses to your posts. I do not think that it is unusual for someone to be hurt when when they are dumped without a reason after a certain amount of trust had been built. If this happened to me without a word of goodbye I would feel violated if I considered it a relationship that was moving into long term status. The above being said, I know people term things differently based upon their experiences, but to me a mentor is not lover material or dom material, a trainer has nothing to do with a Ds relationship either. In my dynamic he trains me at times, but he is not my trainer, he was never my mentor, and if he had been either of these things there would be no relationship between us. He has mentored people that were friends of a former submissive (real life people), but he never dated them, and he wouldn't.... why? Mentors do not do that. A person has to be able to consent as an equal, and in my opinion they cannot do so in a mentoring situation. I have brought up the above for you so that you can compare what he has told you with what I have stated... there is nothing wrong with starting out as friends, but if he was an online dom tossing out protection collars, mentoring you, and then promoting you to being "trained" as a way to convince you that he knew what he was doing, could be trusted, and was working toward a lifelong Ds relationship with you by making you jump through some sort of ranking system, that is not what I have read from people that have long lasting Ds relationships. They do not do this from reading people on this board and from what my Daddy has told me. Now people are going to read this post and disagree with my sentiments, fine, they have a different experience with mentors and trainers that collared them and they have been living together for a decade, but from what I have experienced and read, this is just not the norm.
