So, where do you sit? Are you always the fantasy french maid, who never feels angry, frustrated, tired, aggravated, etc? LOL...no. I don't even own that outfit... But seriously, I, like you, am expected to be a partner in this relationship, regardless of the power exchange. And part of being a partner is being authentic, and no faked orgasms so to speak. However, I'm not allowed to just melt down and 'be' emotional. It is expected that I handle my emotions with some control and in an appropriate manner. I've gotten soooo way better about this but sometimes, I lose it. I don't get punished, but he is pretty clear about how that behavior tends not to be productive, and he will employ communication, training and exercises that help me to deal with my emotions more productively. He employs behavior modification rather than straight punishment, and sometimes he uses deprivation as a behavior mod tool. quote:
Are you allowed to express when you don't like what you are told to do, or are you required to stuff your feelings and pretend to be happy about it? Again, I *can* do what ever I want, remembering that behavior is a choice, but that some behavior will garner negative consequences. It's how I express myself that's important. He's fairly reasonable and if I bring a valid, significant reason to the table in a respectful way, he may modify. "I don't wanna" does not meet either valid or significant in our world. [8|] PL
