JakkthePirate -> The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:00:42 PM)
The Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules. I am having a problem. I have a submissive that makes more money then i do... a lot more. she has the ability and has in the past made as much in one month then I make in a year. How do I react when she says "i made it i can spend it how she want." Logicly and reasonably that is true. I just dont know what to do. punishment? ignore it and let it pass? I am told patience is key. she is a relitivly new sub but her defience is speratic yet very strong. I try and dominate and regain control but how do you control something that does not want to be controled?

lusciouslips19 -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:03:46 PM)
She should get a more ambitious Dom.

Lashra -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:08:25 PM)
Perhaps as a submissive she doesn't want her finances controlled? I know its a limit of my subs so I don't interfere. I let him spend his money however he wants, but then again I make more then he does. I don't think money has anything to do with how submissive (or Dominant)someone is, its their desire to serve, please and obey that you should appeal to as long as its within her limits. Good luck, ~Lashra

lalbobbilynn -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:10:29 PM)
Did You two agree that You would have control of her monies when You collared her? Are You two 24/7 and she is not paying her agreed to portion? Did she ask You to take control at some point and now is back peddling simply to get what she wants? Is she doing things with her monies that You know to be illegal, thus harming Your property?

MollyTroubletail -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:14:58 PM)
Yes, what lalbobbielynn said above. What were the agreements between the two of you about money and your controling it?

MissHarlet -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:16:51 PM)
Why do you feel you should control her monies ... and as has been asked before ... are you 24/7 is this a change from an agreement you had in the beginning ? Im not sure I understand the issue.

Did the two of you agree before she became yours that you would have control over her spending? If not, it's time to negotiate finances. That sounds like just the tip of the iceberg though. You stated that her defiance is sporadic, but strong. You are the one who knows how much of that you'll tolerate and if she keeps pushing you, well.. how much of that are you allowing to happen? Look inward first, solve your personal issues, then set about taking care of the external matters. Patience is a great thing, but it's not nearly as important as consistency. If you say it, follow through and do it. She's new, so keep your rules simple, easy to remember and short for now. You can add layers as needed, but give her the opportunity to succeed in baby steps, first. Relationships aren't made in a day and the ones that last have strong foundations. So build it well or watch it crumble later. The choice is yours. Celeste

quote: ORIGINAL: lusciouslips19 She should get a more ambitious Dom. Ouch. I'm not sure i think that ambition is the issue here. Did you negotiate what would happen with your finances before you began your D/s relationship? In my experience, not every Dominant has control over his partner's bank account. If this has not been negotiated, no, I don't think you can punish her - as for ignoring it - if it makes you unhappy and you feel like its a part of your lives that you would like some control over, then I can only suggest you discuss it further with her.Patience, is, quite often the key. I do disagree on your point that the one who has the most money has the control in the relationship.If you are the Dominant then you should have control, no matter what the financial situation is. Maybe you could ask yourself if you need to control her chequebook in order to feel control of her if there are any issues in your ability to dominate her successfully. Also, when you ask how to control 'something' that does not want to be controlled? Well, you can't. How she spends her money and whether she truly wishes to submit to you are not necessarily related issues. But I think you need to talk to her seriously about it.

antipode -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:24:13 PM)
quote: "i made it i can spend it how she want." Huh? Who is spending what? You make it? She makes it? This sentence makes as much sense to me as the word "speratic", which is not in the dictionary. Be that as it may, if "it does not want to be controlled", what are you doing with "it"? Are you saying she is a submissive who is not a submissive? Maybe she has the same problem I do - not understanding what you mean.

Well he doesnt appear to be more experienced than her and he doesnt seem to know how to control, so he does not seem like Dom material. maybe she has no respect? His post/ "I just dont know what to do". I find this annoying and whiny. he could never Dom me. Sorry it the truth.

utterlybutterfli -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:34:22 PM)
Well, Yes, I found it a bit whiny too, if you want the truth and I no more want a whiny Dominant than you (or any other submissive that I can think of would). Inexperience though, is a different matter, to me. I was inexperienced once asa submissive - and I've asked more than one stupid question about my relationship. In general I don't disagree with you. I just don't know if lack of ambition is where his problems lie, is all

Jeffff -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:37:42 PM)
I suppose emptying her purse when she is bound is not a proper response huh? oh well.........it was just a thought Jeff

I just don't know if lack of ambition is where his problems lie, is all ok, well wrong wording. But maybe if he had made more money. I couldnt be with a Dom that made less than me. He is awfully young too. I find money to equal power and if he doesnt have power, he needs to get it.

lalbobbilynn -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:41:46 PM)
Indeed, his profile states he is still on the young side, thus he seems to lack life experience as a whole. There seem to be many portions of this story that are missing, i do hope he returns to his post, and sheds some light on wherein the problem truly lies ... with his Doming ability or her submission, or quite possibly "their" communication skills as a couple.

lronitulstahp -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 3:45:24 PM)
seriously not trying to be funny...are you a native speaker of English?

quote: ORIGINAL: lusciouslips19 ...snip... I couldnt be with a Dom that made less than me...snip...I find money to equal power and if he doesnt have power, he needs to get it. Interesting statement...one that I happen to agree with but I think for the wrong reasons. I am curious to know how many Doms feel this way. Is money power to you? Can you have a relationship with a sub who makes more than you? Significantly more than you? Is this a man thing and not just a matter of dominance? Does it make you feel emasculated? Would it make a difference in a vanilla relationship? Sorry Jakk, if you feel this is a hijack. Just tell me this is bad form and I'll go away.

LordShadow -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 6:18:56 PM)
Money only has the power you give it.... Perhaps I am looking at it from a different perspective and dynamic altogether, as I own slaves not subs...but it does seem to me that he is not her Master, Money is. I can only speak for what I would do in my Home, and that would be to take her money and put it away, not spend it, just put it away where she cannot easily access it, ie. hide it. then I would retake control of my Home and give her money as she begs for it, but only after she has earned it, by pleasing me.

Archer -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 6:30:51 PM)
The solution assuming there was an agreement that included monetary control is simple. You agreed to the control, and now you want to change the agreement? OK but when the renegotiation happens it will not be only the money that gets renegotiated. And it may well be that renegotiation means the end of the relationship. Consent to be controled is central to what we do. If she is rebelling against the control then she has withdrawn her consent, or she never really intended to give it.

mstrj69 -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 6:37:33 PM)
Has she agreed to match you dollar for dollar for the relationship or maybe if she makes 4 times what you do, she contributes 80 percent of the cost of a vacation or a trip to a major event. Is it a matter of not wanting you to spend her money or how she is spending it ? I can guarantee you just about any sub on here who is working makes more than I do when it comes tax time as my net is 0 for the tax return. Thus, I do not care if she has more than I do if she wants to submit to me, she will submit. If she does not want me handling her finances, I may agree to it but she will never again bring up the subject. She may answer any questions I ask but the subject is off limits for her to bring up and thus she can not even try to hold it over me.

LordShadow -> RE: The Golden Rule (1/22/2008 7:07:28 PM)
As I said, I am coming at it from a different perspective, as I do not work with subs, so what negotiations and all occur in D/s are beyond me. a slave coming into this Home, there are no negotiations, it is my way or not at all, and this is understood BEFORE she comes to me, before we even meet the first time. If a wench came to my Home and then decided to try to change the rules, its "Hasta La Vista, Baby", there is no renegotiation, as there wasn't one in the first place. But again I am coming from the perspective of 24/7 TPE.
