When i did my task and wished his response , it was to know if i had accomplished it the way he wished it to be done . One writer was correct , i admit to doubts of my security with him when i saw he had been on the site , am i the only submissive who has worried about losing her Master ? it isnt because i distrust him , its more of my fears of losing him , that i may not be good enough and knowing in reality , a Master can do as he pleases when he pleases and changing their mind is part of that reality and i responded the wrong way , and now i am paying the price for it . this has turned out to be the worst week between being really sick with a major flu / allergy and bronchitis all at once , which makes me a cranky patient , i screwed up with my Master big time for the first time and the worst part of the week was no communication from him ... i do appreciate this forum for being here and helping me realize some things . thank you

the bottom line.. its always good to get other perspectives -- something you might not have thought of... good luck with this, by the way

Fear is the mind killer-let it go. Post a link from this to him if you must-and forget about it-find something else to do.

Take a deep breath, and know that most mistakes are fixable. I have majorly and hugely screwed up before (I think what you are going through now is a learning curve and not an over-the-top screw up), and with the right focus and humility, was able to turn that ship around. Probably the best thing you can do right now is apologize and wait patiently. And, as someone close to me reminds me time and again, remember to breathe. :)

Just relax, occupy yourself, and when he contacts you (and he will) apologize and have a calm discussion (in your adult person) about what you've learned and how you felt through all of this. You'll be fine. All will be fine. Best wishes.

I've always viewed "ignoring" as not being an adult. It's one thing to tell the other person in your life that you're not ready to talk, it's another thing to pout and ignore. It's passive aggressive and not what I would consider a dominant trait.

quote: ORIGINAL: Masterssj i appreciate the responses , its not an '' online thing '' we just do not live together . i have asked for a response and not received one , so i am guessing that is the wrong thing to do from what i am gathering here . I think the root of your problem is contained in the above comment. You're "guessing" how you are meant to behave, what Master wishes of you. You need to have a clear communication of his expectations with regards to email communications and other behaviors. You can't possibly win playing a guessing game, and it will only lead to frustration on both sides, I would think. If your Master does believe in ignoring if you have not performed a task (for example) to his satisfaction, then you should be informed by him that this is a tactic he will employ and what he expects of you while he is ignoring you. Does he wish you to use this period of time as a reflection on how you can improve your behavior or on your mistake? Does he wish you to journal your thoughts and feelings during this time so that you can pour out the emotions you feel at being blocked from his attention? My Master doesn't employ 'ignoring' as a discipline. His expectations are generally clear, and if I need guidance, I ask for it. I know there will be consequences should I goof up. Best of luck to you in your journey.

Dunno about the rest of you the only time I ignore a girl is when she's dumped. BadOne

Bound2One -> RE: being ignored by your Master (3/21/2008 10:01:21 PM)
Bita .. Brilliant post. Thank you for the 'food for thought'.

Kalista07 -> RE: being ignored by your Master (3/21/2008 10:04:00 PM)
i can understand completly where You are coming from with Your anger/fear/resentment/frustration/paranoia etc. regarding the fact that He was on here and He couldn't even respond to Your email. i believe i'm very fortunate because the one i'm with now, knows of my past issues with being cheated on, used, etc. etc. through this wonderful medium so He would never intentionally do something like that to me. Additionally, i've done the whole 'being ignored thing' and frankly it doesn't work for me. Personally, when i'm being ignored it makes me feel more desperate, out of control, etc. i hope this works out for You. And remember You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Kali

And, as someone close to me reminds me time and again, remember to breathe. :) I agree with the learning curve that ownedgirlie speaks of above. One of the toughest things I'm realizing about such curves (and boy, are there ever some doozies!) is that sometimes when I'm in the midst of a curve ... I have absolutely no idea. I don't recognize it, I feel like I'm floundering and my feet have been knocked out from under me. At those times I'm trying to remind myself to regain my focus. I am finding that journaling in our blog is helping me with this. It's a struggle, and can be uncomfortable at times. Just today Master discussed something with me that for some reason isn't sitting well in my head - I'm not understanding it and I just know I'm missing something .. but it's not 'clicking'. Just know you're not alone on this journey. The great advice you've gotten on this thread is from those who have a longer time on this journey and have learned more than we have at this time. Give it some thought and perhaps you will be able to find some peace.

I don't recognize it, I feel like I'm floundering and my feet have been knocked out from under me. My former pattern used to be that for whatever reason, just before I was about to make it around another really big bend (in my learning curve, lol), I would totally screw up. Typically it was fear/insecurity related. I'd create a problem, cause myself a whole bunch of grief, and the whamo - I'd figure it out and everything would come together. It took me a long time to get to that "figure it out" part without all the preceding drama. Ugh.

We do tend to have different styles-maybe the one this guy uses just isn't right for that girl. It happens.

It's very good to hear others who have experienced the same. Sometimes I feel like I'm going a bit batty. lol [:)]

No no no....you have it wrong. TWO steps forward, ONE step back. You are always advancing! :)

TemptingNviceSub -> RE: being ignored by your Master (3/21/2008 11:01:30 PM)
To the OP..the ignore..sighs..I have always found the ignore to be rather diametrically opposed to our usual mantra of COMMUNICATION..ignoring is not communicating..ignoring is what it is, ignoring!..but, there can be pro-active ways of ignoring..such as the Dominant can state, I do not wish to communicate with your for x number of days for this reason..and then the ignore begins..and gives the submissive time to reflect on the actions that caused such displeasure..but to ignore with no time or even reason to contemplate..only to speculate..to me, is unproductive in any way shape or form...Tempting

quote: ORIGINAL: ownedgirlie No no no....you have it wrong. TWO steps forward, ONE step back. You are always advancing! :) Ah, but owned, growth doesn't, necessarily, mean you need to advance. There are always going to be moments when you "just can't get there from here". [;)] If you look at a wall in front of you and it's 8 feet high and 10 feet wide and it just doesn't look as if the damn thing will ever be broken so you can advance, you may need to take that step backwards to come at it from a different angle. Taking two steps foward is only going to smack your nose into the wall! Ouch! Two steps forward, one step back when that works ... two steps forward, one step back, then, sometimes you need to step to the side. It might not seem as if you've made any progress because you're actually back a bit on the path, but, the reality is you've changed your direction and now can take those two steps foward without smacking your nose into the wall. Now you can see that wall is still pretty damn tall and still pretty damn wide .. but it's not nearly as thick as you thought so now that you have the whole picture and even though it's still going to take some work to knock it down, you've learned you can. You have hope. Don't ever be afraid to go sidewise, or to crawl instead of walk, or to skip or to run or to spread your fucking wings and fly, baby. You do what you need to do to go where you need to go. You don't put limits on Mr. W .. don't put them on yourself either. I'd love to jump off a mountain with you. I have a feeling the eagles would be jealous. [;)] Celeste
