Perhaps it's this feeling at seems to come out.. maybe we're just catty little subs.. I dunno..but it seems like people are out to prove that they're MORE.. more dominant, more submissive... someone asks a question about hinting about romantic needs... and then some are aghast that we'd ask about our needs.. with a seemingly (granted text doesnt have tone... ) but seemingly very sarcastic
I don't ask for anything and I don't tell what I want... UNLESS I'm asked to express it. Otherwise, none of it is about me.
I'm a submissive.
What am I missing here?
that statement implies that somehow.. the OP isnt submissive or isnt the right kind or isnt submissive enough...and it was a statement that was agreed upon enough to warrant a "not a lot" and a "I heart u"...
We live on the fringe of what people call "normal".. we fight with the "vanilla's" to have them not see us as crazy or abused/abusive.. for the way we want to live.. but yet all we do is pick at each other.. I dont think we're any different than how they see us and judge us and criticize us...

I asked him if he could bring me a glass of wine tonight, since he was up and in the kitchen. He was happy too.
I still think I'm submissive. But whatever ... what's in a name, eh?
nh23 said:You know this reminds me of something you once said to me when I was overly worried that people didn't find me subbie enough. You told me that your master tells you that the only ones we have to answer to is ourselves.. and everyone else.. everyone outside your relationship can take a flying leap. I have really taken that to heart. My philosophy now is if your not feeding me or fucking me shut the fuck up. And if I'm not feeding you or fucking you, I'll do the same. There is a huge variety of relationships in the BDSM world. Not one way is right. It's what is right for the people involved in that particular relationship. I myself could never do online only, nor could I have the type of relationships that Sin or Cat have. Does that make me more subbie than the online only, or less subbie than a M/s relationship..Maybe, maybe not. I don't care anymore. I have what makes my Dom and I happy. That's all that matters. That's all that should matter to anyone else.

Little_Kitten said:So I've been wondering and wondering and wondering. I can sometimes do or say stuff to hint to my bf that I want something specific. But I've found that the male's hint-radar, is old, broken and... basically non-existent. So I always end up having to actually say what it is that I want (oh the horror). But I do tell it eventually. I know how important communication is. I've found that out by reading some posts here, observing my sister's breakup with her fucked-up whimpy boyfriend, who never had the fucking guts to tell her that his feelings for her were basically stalling and falling.... and falling....
.... till they hit the bottom, and he threw her out of their apartment. Well He said that they shouldn't live together anymore, and my sister got the hint and she left. Now she's crying most of the time cos she misses him. But I keep telling her that she doesn't miss HIM.... She misses the good times, and she misses all her "what if"-scenarios. Her fantasies of how perfect it would be if he changed. But... Guy DON'T change! Every damn woman's fault... Guys don't change unless it's something they already have in them.
Anyway I'm kind of getting a bit off topic of what I would say. Well firstly... I think I solved the mystery about girls and romantic films, that they so love to torture their partners with. And I think it's because they want to teach their boyfriend to be more romantic. Or in some cases it is. So guys beware. If your girl makes you watch a romantic movie with her, LEARN from it... I've seen how they go "awww.... Why don't you ever do that?" and then they continue watching the movie. But that sentence could very well be translated to "Please be more romantic!!! I need it! You haven't done anything romantic in months so i'm basically handing your assignment out to you! Take it! Learn it! Please take the hint!!"...
So this made me think about relationship needs, communication, hints... Do you ever hint stuff to your partner or do you flat out tell him "I want this" or "i need this"...
Communication is so important in relationships, and relationships where someone holds back his/her feelings(usually the guy), don't end well very often. The other part will feel drained of energy and decreased sexdrive. Also they might start looking for other people to be with.
So... How do you communicate in your relationship? Do you ever hint out, instead of telling flat out what you want, and how does your partner take this?
I'm just interested in knowing, cos well... I'm finding myself in a dilemma here... Sometimes I want my partner to do something for me, but I want it to come from HIM, not cos I tell him to. Don't get me wrong, we're both fine and really in love with each other still. I love him and he loves me. But I find it difficult to tell him some things because in my perfect little fantasy HE would do it... And do it because it makes him happy.
So I sometimes try to hint it out... but damn. His radar is broken too.. Guess I'll have to fix it somehow.
Anyway I'll stop here before I get too messy... I'll probably continue letting out my thoughts, once I see some responses to this post
Now discuss!

Luvkitty33 said:Well, I know where you're coming from because I've been there, done that, so to speak. I did that during my first serious relationship, which lasted a little over 10 years, and let me tell you, it does not work.....well, it didn't work for me.
First I would get upset at the fact that he wasn't romantic or that he didn't know what I wanted or needed. Then I started in with the hinting and passive-aggressive behavior. It still didn't get me what I wanted, and it actually just made me feel worse. It made me frustrated and unable to see the sweet things that he was doing for me......sometimes.
The few times where I hinted or used passive-aggressive behavior to get what I wanted and he picked up on my hinting and/or behavior and gave me what I wanted (not material things....usually time spent doing a particular activity), it didn't make me feel good. I knew he was doing it only because of the hinting, and I wanted it to come from him as his own desire and idea. Sometimes it would lead to an argument.
I finally realized that I needed to try and stop changing him and accept him for who he was. Once I did that, I realized that he was not the right person for me. He was a wonderful, special, loving, kind man, and I loved him and knew that he loved me the best that he knew how, but there were too many things that he couldn't give to the relationship that I needed.
This was not a D/s relationship, and I don't know if any of my comments addressed your question, but I hope it gave you some insights at least. Good luck in your new relationship. Take things slow, accept him for who he is, but definitely communicate. That is critical.

A Desert Rose said:Once again, I never said you were or were not submissive or submissive ENOUGH.
What I posted in post #whatever it was is MY submission, how I view submission, how the Doms I've been with view submission.
I do not ask for or tell any Dom what I want. It is to me, topping and it is to me, passive/aggressive.
And perhaps I missed something in the tone of your post... or maybe not.
I'm tired of feeling less than I am because I don't follow the submissive line that seems to be prevelant here lately. It works both ways. Some of you state that you feel and are offended by a preceived subbier than thou attitude. I feel that my kind of submission is wrong and strange to many of you. And I know I'm not alone in feeling that others who are like me, are looked down on.
I am not politically correct enough for your cliques here. I'm sorry if my opinion offended anyone.
bholderman said:Another item from the Significant Other perspective. He might be quietly sitting on the other side of the couch thinking the same thoughts, on a male tack anyway.
That lack of communication is going to turn to resentment for the two of you. ANd yes, you might have to be the hero in the whole thing, bite the bullet and start talking yourself and bring him out. My therapist put the first step plainly and simply, "What do you need/want from me?"

In a relationship with someone like me, what you would be "missing" is the fact that I genuinely appreciate unsolicited expressions of the wants, needs, and desires of a submissive partner.... UNLESS the expressions are delivered in a tone that I find unacceptable, or in a manner or at a time that I don't appreciate.A Desert Rose said:None of this makes any sense to me.
