Do you find it hard being submissive in relationships??
I am somewhat submissive, but I find it so hard to completely submit to a man.
Just something in me won't let me. It drives my man crazy..
How do you feel?? Should you submit completely to your man??

Completely? No.
Maybe the word submit is getting a bad reputation. lol
What's wrong with yielding to your mate? What's wrong with being flexible enough to 'give in' occasionally, and not always have it your way.
That's what a partnership is all about.

if it's in a marriage I do "submit" to my husband in that I voluntarily follow his leadership.
like when presented with a "situation" like when his truck died, or other stuff I flat out say "You lead, I'll follow"
and let me tell you...that is a challenge for me, for the last 15 years and even the last 7 or so of my marriage I had to be "the man" the leader, head of household.
there's also some freedom in it as well...he's proven he's worthy, and I"m a Christian and that's a big deal for us..Biblical, submission to your husband is equal to submission to God.
(then I have that little voice in my head that's had way too much history, theology, etc that knows men wrote that, but I'm going with it in a traditional sense)

i don't think anyone should be completely submissive to another person even in a relationship but if you want a man to be a man in order have that you can't be acting like you're the man. let him be a man and enjoy being a woman with him. trust him.
and have confidence in him.

Submission sets me free and makes me feel stronger within myself which ultimately makes me stronger in all facets of my life. I choose to live it 24/7 and yes, sometimes it is a struggle but never one I do alone.
There are many levels, degrees and styles of submission...whether in daily living, business interractions, scene play, sexual fantasy or within a 24/7 partner agreement.
Setee is correct, it has been given a bad rap.

There's a difference between submitting and giving your love to.
now if you can't give your love...then your not ready to even try a relation.
People give their love to each other, there are certain vows expected in a relation or a marriage....you intertwine together by giving yourself to each other.
but that's not submitting.
But if you can't do this...then stay single forever.
you can't live in two separate bubbles and expect it be a relation.

Okay a question and don't take it wrong.
are you saying its easier to be submissive in that way...because it may how nature intended?
or that's its easier because in a sense he takes more the responsibility of leading, and the responsibility that goes with that...so this is leaning on in a sense, less to worry about...etc.
Which might explain how manly is attractive to women...as far as in this way.

Just in my personal experience. .
A lot of the single women I have encountered that are raising children and playinh both roles..
Especially if they have been playing mom and dad for a long time..
You have this weird masculinity struggle that goes on..
At least until the woman is comfortable with you and drops a few walls.

This an inaccurate statement and unfairly judges all submissives to a single standard.
How and how deeply submission occurs within a relationship is always unique to that relationship. All of the same qualities of compatibility must be present in the relationship.

No one should have to submit completely to anyone. Do not be with anyone who expects you to completely submit to them. It makes sense to defer to someone who has greater expertise than you, as they should defer to you when your expertise is greater than theirs. If your boyfriend is a certified auto mechanic, do what he tells you to do with regards to warming up your engine, or adding anti-freeze, or such. When it comes to what you do best-be it cooking, computer programming, or whatever-the BF should do as you tell him. Mutual respect for each other as people, and for each other's expertise, works best.

I see the words, soul, they just don't resonate with me.
empowering
give (someone) the authority or power to do something.
"nobody was empowered to sign checks on her behalf"
synonyms: authorize, entitle, permit, allow, license, sanction, warrant, commission, delegate, qualify, enable, equip
"the act empowered police to arrest dissenters"
antonyms: forbid
make (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights.
"movements to empower the poor"
synonyms: emancipate, unshackle, set free, liberate
"movements to empower the poor"
antonyms: enslave
I don't see my yielding to him as empowering me, but empowering him. But I'd never be so arrogant as to 'delegate' responsibility for me to him.
I don't think any of those words ^^^^ have meaning in my relationships.

By empowering, if by that you mean, you leave decisions like where you'll live, and how you'll live, where you'll go and what you'll see up to him, and that leaves you the time and energy to pursue other things/thoughts/interests, then maybe I understand your empowerment.

Ms Savona is my favorite lady on DH. I remember when she wrote long post about how terrible men were in her life. I guess all they wanted was her hot body, but they couldn't give her the emotional connection she so desperately needed. However she has matured into a practical sensible woman who realizes that life is a mirage and portrait dog painting is her thing.

There is a misconception that by submission, one has no voice. That simply isn't the case but yes, I ultimately leave those decisions up to him.
My voice, my opinions, my needs and wants are all met. I have complete trust in his ability and committment to consider all of those things in decisions he makes for the union. I know the value of my contribution and never feel dismissed or ignored.
I feel honored, respected and appreciated. I am never distracted by a sense of who I am, who he is or what we are.
I can simply be myself..without pretense or any measure of confusion. Having that consistancy on the homefront is perfection...for me.

I agree with everything you just said.
It fits my almost 30 year marriage to a 'T'.
Neither of us ever used the word submit or empowered though. It was a natural transition from being single to being married.
Did we butt heads occasionally? You betcha! Did he always win? Nope.
But there were no doubts about who was the man in the family.

It is an equal exchange of power. A submissive cannot be her/his true self without a Dominant and vice versa. Just as in any healthy relationship with two compatible individuals, there must be a mutual understanding.
Do not confuse dominance with domineering.
@ plant...sure, some work outside the home, that is irrelevant to the concept. each relationship defines its own parameters.
