I asked Her directly today and She told me that She wants to be referred to as Mistress, unless we are in a situation where it would be inappropriate or when my children are around. (BTW, it is She who initiated the use of capitals for pronouns referring to Her and lower case for me, at least in private between us. Though I use upper case for me everyplace else, I decided to still use the Upper case for pronouns referring to Her out of respect for Her wishes). In thinking about it, I realized that part of my reluctance stemmed from the fear that by calling (or wanting to call) Her Mistress all the time I might be subtly imposing my own desires for control on to Her, and that this might have been as much or even more part of the concern than my fear of limiting Her or our relationship. Needless to say I'm glad not only that the question has been resolved, and that it is She who wants me to call Her (and I guess think of Her) as Mistress. Now I have to learn to accept and get my head around the fact that always being my Mistress and loving me are not in any way limiting or contradictory for Her.
