For those who believe in total honesty and sharing all emotions, I have a question I'd like to ask to learn more. I hope you'll help.
Say your dom had a habit that is an irritant to you. Doesn't matter what it is, just something he does, that is like nails on a chalkboard for you, and he knows that. That part is key, that the knowledge is there, and his pleasure in the habit for him outweighs the irritation it causes in you.
What are the choices here? He does it, you express the emotion (irritation)? Remember, he already knew about the irritation, and did it anyway. He does it, you suck it up because the man is more important than the irritant? He does it.... what do you do?
I'll use an example: Mine knows that when I am really focused on something, it irritates me to be interrupted. It's difficult to shift gears for me, just how I'm wired, so my first reaction is "let me finish!", before I move on to, "I'm sorry, sir, what would you like?" He knows this is how I am, but there are times when he wants something at a time when it means interrupting me. He's the dom and is therefore free to interrupt me at will. He's also entitled to a good attitude about it.
Now the question: would you consider it worthwhile to express the emotion each time it came up, or only the once to make sure it's known and accepted?
