ORIGINAL: GoddessTeaze How quickly are you opening your wallet, to help a Dominant out? This has been my experience with the Doms I've met. One Dom, with whom I'd been emailing/talking for a couple of weeks, asked me out for a drink. I arrived a bit early, sat at the bar and had a drink and paid. He was a bit put out that I'd paid and tried to give me the money back. When I refused (of course!), he asked to leave the tip. We didn't get further than that date for other reasons, but the sense I got was that he was there to take care of me, not the other way around. I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned in that way, because I like it. Of course, all that goes out the window should a relationship progress and we've been seeing one another for a few months and I'd like to buy him a birthday present or some such thing. And if we were living together, the 'what's mine is ours' philosophy would prevail. i am the same with dating. i will try to get there earlier and buy myself a drink, if not i will try to buy them one as well, i don't know about other places but in Oz there is some weird drink buying= sex expectation. Which took me a while to catch onto, because i was out of the dating ring so long, and things changed dramatically in the grown up world, of 20's to 30's. i would sure never prostitute myself, and certainly not for three scotches and dry and half a bottle of red... Anyway, money, providing... i agree with that one... Money = power. Something i struggled with, my last serious relationship broke down when i became financially dependent on him, i just could not deal with it psychologically...i had been independent for too long, and even though finances were better being with him, i felt so insecure. In my home i am open and share, i like to entertain, to give, to be hospitable. For my current Dom i loved to cook for him, show him my great taste, and culinary skills, and keep him happy and satisfied. He would stay countless nights, while i nurtured and feed him in the variety of ways a sub does, then a few times later down the track he actually took me out, and severely struggled with spending money on me. Has managed to save enough money to travel overseas, not surprising. Of course if things were fairer and he was considerate, we could likely be both traveling, as it was our common interests and dreams of same places that got us together in the first place. i have managed to find the most selfish, inconsiderate, using parasite, who is about to head o/s to become a yoga instructor! Well all i can say is Karma baby, when he's down and out in Calcutta. i struggle with myself at times, i became interested in spirituality and philosophy at an early age, all the books repeat it is about giving not receiving, yet i am so selfless, so submissive, so willing to please, so giving of myself that i am constantly taken for granted, and used... yet i am not happy unless i give, and then i am not happy when i am taken for granted... in this day, it is just not sustainable to be altruistic. It has taken me a while to work out what is truly a suitable Dom, and surprisingly i already had it at another time...the one who would praise and give positive attention for my good efforts, the one who ignored my negative side and didn't criticize unless constructive, the one who provided and took care of me, the one who wanted to co-parent my child, the one who worked hard on his career and wanted to share all he had, the one who would open doors, who would take me out to show me off to the world and constantly reaffirm his love and devotion, the one who was patient, kind, loving, guiding, and gave me a better life, and finally the one who booted me to the street when i did not recognize and appreciate what i had. That was true Dominance taking the correct responsibility and action, and a lesson well learnt. Below every good man is a woman willing to fall at his feet, why is it that i can not accept what is good for me, and give to what is not?
