ORIGINAL: SinergyNstrumpet Hmmm...I believe a dominant shouldn't keep a submissive that he knows will not be happy within his limits. Just an opinion. First, I am neither an advocate nor unsupportive of the OP's situation. In truth, I don't know enough about it to be. I am offering a point of view that differs from the majority, and nothing more. Having said that, we differ on opinions regarding the dominant's limits (wouldn't be the first time [:)]). In some cases, I think you are right. In other cases the submissive can adapt to the dominant's limits. quote:
I am clueless about how much she means to him. If it were me it would signal that I did not mean enough. Fair enough. quote:
My submission is all about me, what fulfills me, and getting my needs met. That being said, our relationship is about us. And yes, if a man did not want to have me as part of his every day life, for me that would be unacceptable, I would question it. There would not be an "us" to develop anymore. If someone else does not care about that limit and they are happy within that relationship structure, that is ok too. If she was satisfied she wouldn't be questioning it, if her alarm bells were not ringing she wouldn't ask most likely. At least that is my experience with women, we only question like that if we are smelling bullshit. That is just my opinion Thank you for sharing your views, Julia, and for sharing them so honestly and clearly. I agree she may not be satisfied with this situation, but where we differ is I don't equate dissatisfaction with a need to end the relationship. There is a lot we don't know about in this situation. I have no idea if there she smells bullshit or if she is right in doing so, if she does. I see this is a point of contention that she has not accepted. Whether she wants to, whether she can, whether she will, is unknown. quote:
Granted, but as Cali said, the assumption from the beginning is that one will meet friends, family, and coworkers one day... not be excluded, especially if a woman is allowing the man to be a part of her family and her life. So now I suppose those of us looking should include in our profiles Looking for a partner that will let me into their life (actually I did do that because I had a situation much like the OPs in my first D/s relationship which is why I am posting so much on this thread I suppose). I understand this point of view. quote:
quote:
and she hasn't met his family (for reasons we do not know). How all these conclusions developed from that is a mystery. That is abnormal in my experience, and D/s does not make it so. Just an opinion This is where our opinions differ again. D/s very does make it so, in my opinion. I am privy to meet whomever my Master determines I will meet. Were we in a non D/s relationship, this would very likely be an issue for me. As his slave, I follow his lead, trusting his reasons, whether I know them or not. quote:
PS, I am not judging those who are satisfied with such an arrangement, but if the OP has communicated anything in this thread, her "friend" isn't Agreed. Her friend doesn't seem to be satisfied. And so often we see OPs that agonizingly complain about their situations, only for the other half of that relationship to write in his/her version and for the audience to say "Ohhh, NOW we see the full picture." Thanks for indulging my questions, and for doing so as you did. I always appreciate and respect your point of view, whether or not we agree or differ.
