ORIGINAL: MeliciousProse You're right. I don't want to let go. And it is the twenty-first century and I could very well call any time I wanted. HOWEVER...and I don't know how much clearer I can make this...the ball's in His court. He wanted space and I gave it to Him. It's His decision within the next week which will make or break my decision. Apologies in advance for the needle. My slave knows clearly (ringing ears, constant stinging of the nostrils, tattoos on her hands clearly) that if I want her company, I will keep her in it. If I don't, I won't. If your man isn't willing to communicate with you, you need to make a new assessment of how important it is to you to remain involved with him. If you're looking for a pat on the back as you erase his number, you've got plenty already. It doesn't matter if that makes you a good/bad/purple person, it matters that you're happy with the choices you've made in the still of the moment. It's really, really ok to be frustrated/scared/angry/hurt at your guy for how this is going down. He's the man in charge, so if things go bust, it's on his ass. It's also way OK to express how you feel. What isn't so ok, on my end, is that you've seemed to paint him as the asshole-he-might-be. You heard him tell you that you're smothering him and three days after you've both agreed that he needs some space, you're pissed at him for taking it. It's like if I told my slave she can have a bowl of ice cream, and then get pissed at her for eating ice cream. If you matter to him, he'll make sure you know it. If you don't, you'll know that in due course soon. I know that if I were on the other side of the lash, I wouldn't be kneeling on rice for two weeks waiting for the phone to ring. Stephan
