Master and I are very different from each other. These differences are what make us balance each other out and make our relationship work so well. I am very emotional, and he is very logical.

He is masculine, and I am feminine. He is dominant and mellow, and I am submissive and high strung. With him, I am free to be myself and he is free to be himself with me. I can just be who I am and not try to fit into society around me. The character traits I have that come naturally are appreciated in our relationship, and he encourages them. Our personalities complement each other.

I am overly emotional. Master is not. He tends to be very logical and calm most of the time. This allows me to be emotional enough for the both of us, and I don’t have to second guess this part of my nature or try to fake that I am not an emotional person. I can wear my emotions on my face, my heart on my sleeve, and he takes care of the rest.

My being so emotional balances out his inability to be emotional, he is always logical and sometimes, he needs my emotions to balance him out. The balance we have in this way, allows us both to just be ourselves.

He is very masculine, and I am not. I was raised in an uber feminist man-hating household and was taught that being feminine and girly wasn’t always appropriate. That the desires I had as a woman wasn’t always appropriate, that my desire to be a mother, a man’s property, and make him happy was wrong.

It feels good to be able to embrace who I really am, and not have to try to be unisex, or something I am not in order to fit into the world around me. My femininity is a nice compliment to his masculinity. I am free to be a woman and he is free to be a man.

I have a very reactive personality, I respond submissively when the right buttons are pushed, sometimes when I don’t even want them too. My childhood toughened me up and taught me how to hide many of these traits to protect myself. I also had to take the lead growing up a lot and take care of myself and others around me.

I had to not look like a cornered dog in order to survive and I played that part well. Master is very dominant, and he could sense who I was under the tough protective skin I had grown to keep myself safe and alive. Master offered me a safe place to be myself, where I didn’t need to do that, and I was able to shed it and be myself with him. I can submit, I can serve, I can love freely.

I needed a dominant male in my life who could compliment my personality traits. I can submit without fear of being hurt or taken advantage of, and he gets the balance that I offer him to his own personality traits. I am soft where he is hard.

Being in a Master and slave dynamic allows us both to be ourselves. We are very unique and different from each other, and we both bring unique traits to our relationship that add to it rather than detract. We are more because we are together, than we would be on our own as individuals. Our attributes complement each other, and balance them out, leaving us happy, healthy and fulfilled.
