The Responsibilities of a Dominant/Master

[mythicat]

Remember, when he calls, you are equals. No subbing. Tell him it is that important.

Maybe...but as e.b. said:

It actually ended up being in an M/s context as well since my attempts to discuss matters as equals hadn't impressed upon him the severity of my troubles. However, that seemed to help to shock him enough to get him to realize a bit more of what I'm going through.

Sometimes making it a D/s-M/s conversation acts as a reminder to the Dom (or sub) of his (or her) responsibilities. Reinforces to both parties that they have agreed to certain obligations above and beyond the context of a vanilla relationship. And one or the other is slackin' off on the job!
