The motive for this post, was the comment of a reader on My post:
"Destruction and Renaissance"
His comment is the following:
Please, do tell me what was wrong. Your description very much applies to our case : trials of all sorts, ups and downs, with a sort of cloud
permanently above.
Thank you,
Alex & Ann There's so much I have to say about it!
There are days when Me and slave still analyze the reasons why the D/s we had the first time,not only failed, but also destroyed our lives and our relationship.
We were both mishandling things wrong.
The reason was that we were very much in love with each other and had so much intimacy and as a result, we were continually blocking ourselves from "diving" into the D/s really and thus, we were returning to "vanilla".
Finally, what was happening on and on was that, slave couldn't submit to Me and that made Me feel that I didn't have the power to dominate him.
Thus, I was constinually questioning his submissive tendensies and he was continually questioning Me as a Mistress.
That's bitter you know and it hearts a lot.
I don't know how easy it is for someone to understand it, but what all of you have to have in mind is that:
in the D/s the more submissive a man is, the more dominant a Woman gets and vise versa.The order of this precondition is significant. Subs have to prove their submission firstly in order to be correctly dominated.
If things don't happen this way, then nothing works.
Another thing that is very important is that:
Once a couple acquaints and likes the D/s, there's no reversion. It's a one-way lifestyle and it's absolutely imposible for them to be satisfied again with the "vanilla".Another thing is that, because of the fact that, usually the man is the one who introduces the D/s to the Woman and as a result She starts to feel powerful, trustworthy and almost a Goddess, the disappointment She gets when things change and the man tries to "top from the bottom", is fatal.
She starts to think that the whole thing is fake, that Her sub is not a sub at all, that he plays with Her for his own satisfaction and pleasure, that he perhaps is just kinky and and that She is an inadequate Mistress.
The only result that occurs is, GRIEF.
I'll give you a few examples of what was happening was causing negative feelings to both of us.
We had agreed that we both loved the D/s and we wanted to move deeper and deeper.
BUT, My "x" sub and now slave, was so impatient to move on that was making Me feel useless. He wasn't doing it always on purpose but he was!
He often was drifting enough from the internet and the various stories he was reading and in his mind he had a different view about "how a Mistress should be".
He was often argueing with Me for various issues on the D/s, he always wanted to express his opinion and he would never shut his mouth up.
He often was trying to top from the bottom especially when there was a disagreement between us.
He was almost always trying to avoid houschores and commands I was giving him.
So, there was a continual struggle on My part to put him in line.
Most of the times, I was so disappointed that I didn't even have the courage to deal with it.
That's My number one mistake: I was allowing him to manipulate Me.
Another mistake: I was very flexible with him while I should be absolutely strict.
Another major mistake: I was pliable.
The most important clue that had to do with both of us was that, we were both scared of the thought that if we insisted on the D/s issue we might fuck up our relationship.
And we did!
The difference is that we didn't fuck up our relationship because of the D/s, but because of the lack of D/s.All the above show a simple thing: that our vanilla behaviours were entering all the time into the D/s.
The answer is: "WHY?" and I wouldn't be able to answer to you if we hadn't broken up.
Only after we broke up and lived separetely, we both realized our mistakes.
Everything we tried, wouldn't make any difference.
We didn't like anything.
We didn't have fun anymore.
We didn't want to do things.
We didn't want to travel.
We didn't want to make love.
We weren't happy.
Finally, we both got dipressed.
We were struggling with these feelings for 2 years.
We just couldn't find out what had happened and we "lost" each other.
The whole thing was absolutely painful.
We discussed hundreds of times trying to figure out what was wrong with us.
Why we loved so much each other but yet we weren't happy together?
We didn't find it. That's the reason why i deceided to leave.
I left home, I left the Love of My life, I left enerything precious I ever had.
Believe Me, that was the most painful and couragous move I've ever done in My life.
But I knew - and I was right - that it was the only way to clear things out.
We realized that the failure of the attempt to have a real, stable and absolut D/s, was so fatal and frustrating for both of us, that slowly and infernaly was creating negative feelings to each other.
We also realized - although we already knew this- that we loved so much each other and that was the reason that made us think and analyze our 5 1/2 years relation.
We could see us clearer now that we weren't together.
We could judge ourselves objectively.
We had nothing to lose anymore. We both lost the most precious thing we had in ourlives: each other.
While separetely, we were making the same thoughts.
And then one day came after months, when the timing of having come to the same conclusion, was amazing.
I knew exactly what I wanted and slave knew exactly who he was.
We arranged a contact and talked.
Things moved on so smoothly and natural, as if we had done this before.
Slave begged Me to accept him as a lifetime slave, while Me on the other side,I told him how different i was and what I wanted from him: absolut submission.
I deceided and then set the rules.
-What men should know is that: submission is not a part-time lifestyle. Submission is a strong feeling and a lifetime belief.
-What Women should know is that: Dominating a man is power which grows stronger and stronger everyday and which doesn't allow flexibility.
The D/s, is an absolut lifestyle and there's no room for mediocrity.All the rest, is details in which I don't want to refair to right now.
However, I will soon, because I believe that there are many other couples that have the same struggles and trials we had in the past.
