ORIGINAL: AAkasha Femdoms, have you ever had a budding relationship with a submissive and things seemed to be clicking, then he did something to totally "blow it" in your opinion and ruin everything? What did he do and why was it a big deal to you? Would you ever give him a second chance? Are there stumbling blocks other submissives could avoid and learn from the mistakes? I don't have deal-breakers set in place until I am sure we are compatible and we both have the same goal in mind. Once I am certain we are on the same page, we discuss deal-breakers and any other "rules" I may have. This discussion delves deeply into personal definitions concerning what each of us mean by cheating, loyalty, playing/flirting, lying, etc. This is the time to bring up any concerns or reservations about either party's (submissives have deal-breakers too) ability to "follow the rules." If, after this discussion, the rules are broken I figure that person has no interest in being serious and is not suited for the relationship I am looking for. Before the deal-breakers have been discussed and set in place a submissive can certainly "ruin it" and cause me to lose interest. These are some actions that would cause me to lose interest. Being rude or disrespectful to me or others. Being a flagrant pita even if you think you are being cute. Talking about sex inappropriately - saying how wet you are, or how hard you are, or even stating that you haven't talked about sex (in an effort to get a pat on the back, or steer the conversation toward sex) when there is no sex talk going on. Interrupting a conversation - in order to insert yourself into it, or to talk to someone else because you think what I'm saying is casual chit-chat and isn't really important. Flirting with every domme you see in an effort to have a back-up in case we don't work out. A submissive who does things like this can still have a second chance - if s/he comes to understand why I dislike it, and has no problem modifying her/his behavior. But, in most cases I go by my gut - if I lose interest in you I'm probably not going to get it back again. quote:
Many years ago when I was single there was a guy I met here or on another site, I can't remember, and we were at the stage that we were talking on the phone several times a week and had exchanged pictures, things were looking good, and it was close to setting up a time to meet (I was going to fly out of state to meet him). I had made it clear to him that I would find it highly inappropriate at that stage that he engage any other femdoms in online play or submission because I was serious about things, and he swore he would never think to do such a thing. I found out a week later not only was he doing it, he was with a friend of mine in a little tight knit femdom community we had online. I couldn't believe it, but it was true. He was doing the entire "online live domination play" with her on IM daily. When I called him on it he flat out lied to me, not know that I knew her myself. I told him that ballsout lying on matters of this kind would mean goodbye forever and he continued to lie. I sent him the logs and he called back with a different story, begging me to forgive him for lying, that the other girl "meant nothing" and it was just a harmless thing (different than what he told her). I never talked to him again. This would definitely be a deal-breaker for me. Not only did he lie, repeatedly, he cheated (after you made it clear what cheating meant to you). I would have done what you did and severed all contact. This decision would have been easy for me. quote:
The lesson here? If you are going to fuck up, own up to it and don't lie. The lies will bite you in the ass. I knew right then he could never be trusted, and he was thinking only of himself, and playing both of us. Akasha I agree. If you don't take responsibility for your wrong-doing, I lose all respect for you. Admitting what he did would not have changed my mind about ending the relationship, but it would have left me with some respect for him. Would I give someone a second chance on a deal-breaker - no, I wouldn't give a second chance. Why call it a deal-breaker if you are going to give more than one chance?
