A hopefully happy topic where people cna express themselves over how their partner(s) make them feel.. In your current (or most recent, or even your first) BDSM or D/s relationship, what is the thing you are most thankful for that you got from your partner?

In my case, I've had a long-term online Goddess. We don't get to talk nearly as much as we'd like to, geographical distance prevents us from being closer, and we're more or less prepared to go our seperate ways as friends, if the time should be right. I'm thankful to her for many things, not the least of which is doing an absolutely massive amount of opening my eyes to the entire lifestyle. She's been great at helping me explore as a sub, and also helpful in terms of serious discussions about my ideas as a switch. But perhaps the thing I'm most thankful to her for showing me is that being a submissive male in no way makes me any less of a man. There's nothing non-masculine about worshipping the ground your women walks on, literally or figuretively. I'm no less of a man for giving her the gift of my submission. Perhaps her helping me to see that being a submisive as a male is "okay" is the thing I am most thankful for.
