OK, devil's advocate here. KarbonCopy has a point. I only say this because he mentioned that he has a partner, and STILL holds to his opinion. Keep in mind, I just got a divorce because my wife betrayed me, so I may be a little bitter. It's a sick world out there, puppet, but we all take our licks and move on. Finding a loyal, kind, caring, accomodating, self-sacrificing, complimentary (and by that I mean when you are together, you are BOTH better people for it) Dom or sub/slave, for that matter, is truly and irrevocably a lost cause.
ALL THAT BEING SAID, I steal and collect mottos from any philosiphy, religion, joke, movie and especially book that doesn't run fast enough. Usually I only hold on to them as long as they apply to my current situation. But there is one motto that has stuck with me through the years that I think would help you out a lot, and it is this: Lost causes are the ones most worth fighting for. Be it ending world hunger, stopping crime, finding that perfect mate or even finding the goddamn car keys so that you can get to work on time, just because there is no hope doesn't mean you shouldn't take the time and bloody well make some.
So go wherever it is that you find most peaceful and reinforcing, bring whatever you need to remind yourself that even if you don't want it, you can be in control, and use that control long enough to realize that against seemingly impossible odds, those things that we think are outright impossibilities, both horrible and beautiful, happen at a rate of about once per month (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlewood%27s_law). You can have your faith back. You might want to dust it off a bit.
Oh, and KarbonCopy...get a new partner. Your attitude sucks donkey balls.
