BDSM - a Guide to Releasing Your Slave or Submissive Responsibly

When a Dominant Submissive Relationship Ends

The relationship between a submissive and dominant or a Master and slave is like all other relationships. Any relationship can fail and in this case it could do so because of a variety of reasons. The couple could have drifted apart or either one of the partners could have met and fallen in love with another. In this dynamic the release could be as a result of extreme incidences of disobedience or dishonesty that could break the trust necessary for this to work. A submissive or slave could also be faced with a situation that he or she cannot handle like limits being broken or safe words being ignored. The needs of the submissive or dominant could also change and either one of the partners could start the process.

Since most slaves or submissives still work outside the home, the dominant needs to make sure that the submissive's needs for housing are met. He or she could help the submissive find an apartment and help with the first month's deposit if the submissive had to give money towards the deposit for the place where the couple now lives. The dominant is also responsible for assisting the submissive with the move into the new apartment and to make sure that he or she is settled safely. Furniture and assets that the submissive bought should be returned to the submissive even if the submissive signed over the assets when the relationship started, especially if it is necessary items like a bed or kitchen goods.

The dominant also has the responsibility to ensure that the submissive leaves the relationship with as little emotional scars as possible. Even when the submissive is the cause for the break up, the couple should still go through the discipline process and the dominant should make sure that the submissive understands why this is happening and what to do to prevent this from happening again in the future. The dominant would do well to remain the mentor of the submissive in order to avoid the dangers of a submissive on the rebound falling for someone who will definitely only hurt him or her. As mentor this includes vetting other dominants to ensure her or his safety with the new dominant.
