"you never talk to me"


I hear various versions of this statement often. It is not untrue, and I feel badly about it but I can not seem to get over this inability to have a lot of free flow conversation with my Dom.

I do not like to tell him what I am thinking, I tend to keep our conversations to his job, sex, and whatever happens to be on his mind at the time.

It wasnt always this way, but the better we got to know one another, the more we struggled to just talk. He has become aware of my idiosyncrasies in our time together and often our conversations are peppered with criticisms of the way I speak to him, what I talk about, my sincerity.. among many.. many other things.

It is hard to imagine over coming this, it seems as though we are destined to communicate less and less with our interaction consisting of his wishes, and my agreement.

what do you want for dinner?
whatever you want Sir.

What do you want to do this weekend?
whatever you want Sir.

Do you like the color green?
I dont know, what do you think of green, Sir?

Is this just something I should accept and seek out back and forth conversation with outside people instead?

I feel as though he wants to hear my thoughts.. but only if I am thinking what he is thinking.. what do you think?
 
If I ask someone what she thinks of the color green, that means I want to know what she thinks. If I want an answer that parrots my own opinion, I'll talk to a freakin' mirror.

Do you have a job? Classes? Hobby? Travel plans? Political views? What do you have to offer your Dom, when it comes to an alternative or enriching perspective?
 
....mmm.... perhaps I am missing something here...
Are you wondering if your Dom cares about your opinion or are you worried that you've simply become so immersed in him that you no longer have an opinion of your own?
:(

yes, to all of the above. I'm going to assume you are not asking me to give you my resume as a well rounded interesting person, I will also assume you are not implying that I am anything less.

the green reference wasnt literal, and that is a worst case scenario.

no, i have my own opinions we are just unable to get to the part where we talk, because...

its the wrong time
I'm looking at him wrong
he does not trust my sincerity
i blink too much

(i made that last one up, you get the drift.)

I dont think I'm that annoying, I mean.. hey nobody is perfect, especially if you spend a lot of time with a person.

(edited for typo.. my bad!)
