medievalwench, W/we were shopping and i called Him Master in the shop - and He said, stop it, i don't feel like 'being' Masterful right now which made me confused as W/we are in a 24/7 tpe. I debated on how or if to respond to this thread, but the above qoute hit home for me. There was a point in our relationship that my Master and I struggled with the consistancy or lack of it between us. In many ways it was because of my emotional highs and lows. During my period of lows he would feel responsible for my "unhappiness" and often times he would give up control over me because he thought it would "make me happy". Granted he never said, " I don't feel like being Masterly" , however; I simply didn't feel owned during those periods. When my episode passed I would feel lost and confused. Not because of my episode but because he wasn't acting like my Master. So I would take control and put on Domme boots if you will, then he would begin to act like my Master again. This only made me more confused, angry, frustrated, and unhappy. However, neither one of us talked about it until it caused other issues between us. In truth it nearly destroyed not only our relationship as Master and slave but our relationship as friends. You see I learned the hard way, that I HAD to not only own my feelings but I HAD to communicate them to my Master. I know that when your in an "emotional low" that isn't always easy. I also know I take things very personally when I am in an "emotional low". So I began writting notes or letters to him during those times and either leaving them in my journal (that he reads daily) or handing it to him. This allows me to express myself without my emotions running wild and it allows him time to take in without responding on reflex. Perhaps if you both started journaling every day, this could open up alot of communication doors and end alot of the confusion between you expecially when you both are suffering from "lows". Edited to add: No one was condemning you,or stating/implying you are unintelligent at least that is not how I read LA's posts.
