My perspective on this is a little different than that of others I have seen here. I offer it not as advice, but simply as the answer that would work for me. The dynamic of submission that "trips my trigger" is that of existing in a world that is defined by the woman I adore. It is all about following rules that she sets out for me, and making her the number one priority in my life. I thrive on opportunities to show my absolute obedience to her rules, above all other things. The rules that she sets are not designed to be "fair" or to "make sense" to me, but to serve as opportunities for me to show my unfettered obedience to her. In this case, the answer is that it isn't about her being "understanding" about my inability to conform to her rules, but about my failure (whether my fault or not) to adhere. If you want your submissive to answer the phone when you call, there is no reason that you should be "understanding" about the fact that he does not. I would expect some sort of "correction" for non-compliance. Hopefully, that "correction" will not be overly severe, given that when I do not answer the telephone it is probably not willful disobedience, but circumstances that prohibit my compliance. The result is that where possible, I answer the call. Where not possible (meeting, actively engaged in a project, etc.), I return the call as soon as I can and recognize that there will be consequences for my failure to act according to her wishes. Those consequences will assure that where possible, I will comply. In that way, her authority is confirmed and my submission to her is kept intact. The world she creates for me is kept whole.
