ok sorry if i am a tad late. i am going through posts and reading things. i have two quotes that have touched me alot about DS relationships and i wanted to share.
first one is about a Dom male talking about how he feelings in his relationship:
This is the symbol of our relationship: my strong hug to protect her and her devoted submission. All in a nice and rich frame.
The two bodies nearly merge in a single one: dominant and submissive, two specular unequals that match and merge in one balanced entity.
the second is from an unkown author but i thought was good to include.
There are really two kinds of submissives in the world: those who believe they don't deserve any better…and those who believe they don't deserve any less.
So i think what i am basically trying to say at least in my case, we respect one another in ways no one else outside can understand. i hope this made some sense at least.
