He sounds like a very wise man; I hope he lives up to all your expectations - or as many as are humanly possible

I, too, believe that a dom has a very strong responsibility to look after their sub. The sub has made themselves very open to the dom, and it is imperative that the dom sees it that way too. The dom's role is to encourage the sub to be all that they can be; letting them grow through encouragement and trust and faith in their abilities.

It sounds like you are going to have a wonderful, protected life - congratulations!
