ORIGINAL: kyraofMists If he is having to correct me he is not enjoying himself so I doubt that he would label it as "a favorite". The most effective way he found to correct my behavior he doesn't like is to talk to me. He explains the behavior that is not acceptable and what behavior he expects to see. Then he makes sure I understand the expectations and we move on. Knight's kyra I agree with this completely. In my experience talking to the one I am with generally has positive outcomes. Where the problem becomes is that sometimes I do not feel like talking. Explaining why I do not feel like talking qualifies as talking, which is something I do not feel like doing. I suppose it is an issue because the people I have been in a relationship dont seem to understand that my unwillingness to talk should not be something they should take personally. However, most have not, in my experience, been able to internalize and understand this about me. I have heard people pontificate about "you are the Dominant, she should suck it up and deal with it," but I am not sure how well that approach works for me. I feel sad that I do not feel like talking, but I also feel that I should listen to my inner self and not talk when I do not feel like talking. I guess I dont have an answer, but it is my day off and I have retreated into what I call "Shrek Mode." I live in a swamp, I put up signs, Im a terrifying ogre, I like my privacy. Shrekergy
