Submission or Dominance (I imagine…I don’t KNOW with Doms) is in your blood, a part of you. I look at it as the same as sexual orientation. If you’re born one way, you can be the other. Or hey, if you’re born a switch, cool. I’m just saying that someone who is a sub will never feel comfortable taking a dominant role, and being in a vanilla relationship will feel like a compromise.
At least, those are my feels. I suppose I can’t talk on behalf of subs everywhere.
So I was talking to Daddy the other day…well, wait, let me back up. I don’t really feel comfortable calling him Daddy anymore, definitely not on here. So, from now on, I’ll just call him D. D for Daddy, that’s easy enough to remember, right?
So I was talking to D the other day about some of the reasons things did not work for us, and why they would be challenging in the future. That’s a whole can of worms. Those of you who have been around here long enough know that the base reasons for the break up were the distance and his ex coming back into his life. There’s more to it, though.
I don’t think that D is a true dominant, at least not in the same sense as most doms. He has a dominant personality, be we were talking about it, and he is more controlling than he is dominant. "Controlling" has a really bad connotation, but it doesn’t have to be if the person wants to be controlled!
Essentially, D had a hard time giving me what I needed in terms of dominance. In the bedroom, not a problem. Seriously. But in day-to-day life, he isn’t a micro-manager, and asking for his permission for some things (and I wasn’t even overboard with it) just got on his nerves.
But then, am I a true sub if I wanted him to do something that annoyed him? Basically, his perfect relationship would be one where he could have what he wanted when he wanted it, but where his girl could handle herself without guidance the rest of the time.
Will D and I ever be back together? At this point, it annoys him to even talk about it, but I still do have hope in my heart that it could at least be a possibility. This talk about dominance and submission really changed how I think about things. I may have called myself a sub, but in the end, I was pretty demanding and he was unhappy as I was.
I won’t even be comfortable being dominant, nor would I want to be in a vanilla relationship. I’m just saying that maybe I’m not the sub thought I was. And that’s OK. I really think this is a life-long time of evolutionary thought process.
