Ah..so your what your saying is that slavery is about the slave making sure they are financially secure, and that will make it real. I learn something new on this forum everyday.

Think I also mentioned that it was valid of her to bring these concerns to the man she's choosing to venture this path with and probably think long and hard on it before doing so.

Well I don't know what she was saying but what I'm saying is "slavery is irrelevant to whether or not someone has a retirement fund."

There's another thread on this forum...one that says something like "What does a 60 year old slave do when she's released with no savings or job skills" - I guess your answer would be "congratulate her on being such a good slave that she never took any proactive steps to secure her own future and instead put all of her trust in an owner that left her with nothing"?

I can see why people would willingly get into M/s relationships.

I can't see why anyone would willingly gamble the whole of their future security on a relationship working out. What good does it do you to know you were once a true slave when at 60 you're living under a bridge eating cat food and wondering why you weren't pleasing enough that he had to drop you for a 28 year old.

stop thinking of it as a contingency plan and squirrel away for youre retirement together. if it goes tits up then youll have something to fall back on.

i think that its dangerous to assume that whilst everyone is luvved-up things wont go bitterly wrong if it ends and the one with all the collateral in their name doesnt get mean about it all.

i read about the 60 year old slave and how incredibly sad her situation is. she comes from the tail end of a generation when women were looked after by their men financially and in all other ways with the understanding that it was forever. things have changed and she's been hit by a big swing in how relationships go around now.

ive experienced something like that with my sons dad, he pretty much took everything - we were luvved up and the idea that he would rob me was unthinkable to me at the time. but he did.

but you still have to go in there with the view that youre committment is forever otherwise whats the point. just be wise, keep an account of youre own and certainly talk to him about it and work something out.

So all I have to do in order to serve him, is to work out exactly how improbable he is, feed that figure into the finite improbability generator, give him a fresh cup of really hot tea ... and turn him on!

First off congrats Hierodule!

Secondly I believe forever is possible, my grandparents had forever and my parents are still in the process of working towards it. I personally didn't believe that forever was possible till I met my ex boyfriend who I would've done anything for, including dying if worst came to worst. Before that I believed in lust and never love. But now I do think that it's possible to spend the rest of your life with someone, it just takes lots of commitment and work from both parties. If you have that in place then anything is possible really.
