Well, the OP falls into the all too common misconception that it has to be one or the other. I am dominant. I am submissive. I can be strong, aggressive, and commanding while still keeping in my place as a submissive. I can be tender, nurturing, and attentive to the needs of my partner while still being the one in charge. (Obviously, these are only my concepts of what it is to be submissive and dominant, not anybody else's). I suppose for the way my life is going right now, it is more difficult for me to let someone else take the reigns. The work I do with IHSS uses up most of my capacity for submission, and when I'm on my own time I have no real desire to remain subservient. Thankfully, my wife tends to deal with stress by going into a more submissive/passive role, so there's no real conflict between us. Then again, if she did turn to dominance for release, I might very well be habitually taking up the submissive role. Over the last dozen or so years, we have become very accustomed to each other. Still, to me, its all just roleplaying. Give me five minutes to get into character, and I can be just about anything my partner wants. How it becomes a way of life is what I take with me once the scene is done.
