Here in atlanta a few years ago, an older couple was car jacked, the old man got himself shot dead defending his wife. They were the old school kind of couple, he barked and she complied. He understood it though, the price of that service is your defence even at the cost of your life.
In my travels I've seen too many dom's who only growl away other dom's...this goes hand in hand with my observation too many dom's got into the lifestyle as a way of getting laid without the hinderance of developing a valid relationship....and then let thier slaves/subs/bottoms swing (go undefended) when there is other trouble. Sometimes its as simple as a spider in the bathtub trouble sometimes it's a car jacker piece of trouble.
Once you label yourself a Dom, it doesn't mean haveing to act like a king lion macho-lord of all you survey, but it does mean you gotta stand up like a man when it is needed. A buddy of mine and I saw something that disgusted me a week or so ago I guess, this typcial Trendy was offloading the grocery cart as he read the riot act to his dutiful wife who stood at rigid attention at the minivan door, ok that's their relationship not my business....about two hour later we run into Mr. Trendy at this barbeque joint, his wife is at the counter fixing to bring the food back to his table when she spills it on this BIG (if Jackson had had him they woudln't have had to pay for the monkey suit) guy who squawked cuz he got hit with a bunch of hot stuff, he gets up at is yelling at her, she is apologizing like she was one of the people who tacked up jesus and Mr. Trendy just sat there watching.
My buddy and I did go in helped mop things off the guy and calm things down, and he was cool with it, accidents happen once the shock wore off, but dang it, it scrapes me in a bad place a guy who sees himself as a woman's dom has a responsiblity to stand up for her, even when she is in teh wrong (or has an accident) not sit there and not be noticed cuz it's a BIG guy she annoyed.
No real question in this post, just me being a little natter to remind dom's to act like men if they decide to play the game.
The day my son was born, we'd been up since 1:30 AM when the water had broken.
I'd taken her in, and the gynecologist has prescribed a drug to aid the dilation.
Reassured repeatedly that it was going to be several hours before anything happened, I returned home to feed the dogs.
When I didn't get a call at the appointed time, I called in.
Turned out they hadn't applied the drug because they were short-staff and didn't want to deliver the baby at that time.
(O.O)
I flipped.
It has already been 12+ hours of labour. The medication took hours to work. She'd had one hour of sleep before the water broke and a full day the day before.
I told the head nurse to call the gynecologist and tell him to meet me there in half an hour.
I was there in 20 minutes.
The trip usually takes 45 minutes.
As soon as I arrived I told the gynecologist the story, told him of my wife's condition, and told him to get to work.
They checked my son and he was in distress.
30 minutes and one emergency c-section later and my son was born.
30 minutes waiting in a room alone, not knowing what was going to happen, I wept with the frustration of being totally helpless.
4.5 years later, I stood by her as she was eaten alive by cancer.
The day after, I was raising my son as a widowed father.
Some of us take our responsibilities very seriously, whether bdsm is involved or not.
It's about love, not about kink.
Or so it seems to me.
