I'm honestly not trying to be rude to the OP or her Dom. I am just curious to see if being punished for her lack of trust was beneficial to their relationship. Since everyone reacts to different situations and experiances on their own level I am only interested in her view as to the benefits of this practice. Where myself is concerned I believe it would be a step or five in the wrong direction.

SteelofUtah -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 2:12:26 PM)
I wanted to send this to LilMissHaven on the other side but it seems her profile is gone. I want you to know that I understand your feelings on this issue and I agree. The bond here is thiers and if she is following through with the punishment and not walking away from it's intent I can only assume that she does believe it has merit. I am with you however I do not believe a Public Appology is appropriate because the Master would have had to have known the Scrutiny that the poor girl would be under on this forum and as it seems she likes being here this is would leave her feeling less inclined to come back here as she would have to deal with these kinds of questions from those who do not understand thier union. I do wish to say however that it is refershing to see someone have a BAD experinece and not end up running away from it or feeling that leaving was thier only option. Either way I wish the OP the best that her union has to offer. Steel

quote: ORIGINAL: Pyrrsefanie quote: ORIGINAL: LilMissHaven I never quite got the reasoning behind public apologies and punishment. Simple. The person demanding the public apology/punishment is an egomaniac who needs an entire community to see just how awesome of a dominant he is over another human being. Chances are he's compensating for some insecurity of his which makes him come across as a complete douchebag to other people. *ahhhhh teenie weenie syndrome---*

congratulations for accepting accountability - a rare event in todays world. [:)]

Oh the drama of it all...

athomesub -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 3:29:28 PM)
Gee people I didn't mean to start WWIII. If I knew how I'd just delete it as well as the post yesterday.I already had talked with him at length before posting this. It was more to let those who had posted to my original query know the outcome. The posting was entirely at my initiative. Since I have only vanilla friends I don't have anyone to bounce thoughts and ideas off.

LadyPact -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 3:53:42 PM)
Have you considered getting any?

windchymes -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 3:53:43 PM)
yawn [&o]

amuzingtoyou -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 4:00:11 PM)
If you felt the need to appologize in a public setting I see no harm in that. I don't know the circumstances of what happened, so I can't really comment on that. But I wish to remind you athomsub, that it always takes two to make or break a relationship. I have heard some people on here say that they think he treated you badly from what you had said. Like I said, I don't know, but I would caution you to not take the full blame for everything. It always takes two...always.

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 4:10:25 PM)
No, this isn't the place or way to do it.

Maya2001 -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 6:49:15 PM)
Let see-- Dom ignores me, refuses to communicate refuses to respond to questions about why when I make an effort to communicate inorder to deal with the issues I then seek from advice from others since he has made himself unavailable--then Dom says .... bad subbie for not trusting me so now you deserve to be punished ... but will keep you and forgive you ......And now I should feel eternally grateful and tell the world what a bad subbie I am for not trusting him and praise him for being so wonderful ............. NAHHH that is not going to happen at least not with me... because trust and respect is a 2 way street ....trust cannot be demanded ...it has to be earned ....and if my trust in him becomes shaken by his actions ...he should not be punishing me for that but should be reflecting on why it is happening... in order that he make corrections to right and to prevent from occuring again and recognize it as his own shortcoming for allowing it to happen in the first place. I do not expect a dominant to be perfect, they are human after all but would at least expect them to take responsibility for their mistakes/actions instead of passing the buck and trying to make me feel guilty by punishing me for.... as long as they can own up to their blame in most cases they would not be diminished in my eyes --depending of course of the severity of the mistake/action , but when they refuse to take responsibility for their actions and put the blame on me instead ... it will only serve to cause further loss of trust and respect and would be making me question whether they are worth it

HerLord -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 9:34:27 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: LadyPact I'm curious as to why you are not apologizing to your Daddy, rather than making a public statement? I take it to be an open apology. One where he can see it is not only words to him, but also to everyone. That said, I agree. I also am unsure of the transgression, but if it is the one I am thinking, "seeking the council of others before him" then, I think this may be a bit more of a control thing than an actual issue. I do not belittle the significance of the issue of the control dynamic of this particular relationship. I do believe that in my relationship, this level of control is WAY to extreme, but if it works for them great. This said. OP Is this the type of Domination YOU seek? Do YOU want to be made to display YOUR scarlet letter for YOUR humiliation? Do YOU want to made fool of for every ones, particularly his, amusement? OP's Dom Is this the type of Dom YOU seek to be? Do YOU think that YOUR "hurt" is more important than Athomesub? Are YOUR insecurities ( perhaps "issues" is more palatable word) worth branding her in such a manner. ALL Is it not justifiable to seek council of others to clarify your thoughs, if only to strengthen or quantify your thoughts? Is wanting to know how to approach a particular issue, or even determine if it is an issue at all, offensive? How is wanting to discuss with "others" (who may or may not be more intune with the inquisitors personal position, i.e: Top/dom/sub/sub/WTFever) to determine if this is just a mere communication thing, or something that actually needs addressing, a source of conflict for any? This I have difficulty with. Athomesub. You hereby have my acceptance your apology. Hope that some one's who you will never meet, talk to (more than on these forums), or give a damn about, namely me, acceptance of your apology helps you and him through this.

Leatherist -> RE: A Formal Apology (4/1/2008 9:37:09 PM)
I just lost respect for your Top. This way only costs him more face than before-not very bright. I'm really not trying to be snarky-I think this could have been handled with a lot more compassion.

Since I have only vanilla friends I don't have anyone to bounce thoughts and ideas off. I'm sorry, but don't buy that. If this thread had just been created to let people know the outcome of the thread, wouldn't it have said something like, "Thanks for the input; everything worked out"? I am confused as to why the apology was necessary to tell people what happened. There seems to be another motive. But hey...your relationship, not mine.
