ORIGINAL: SirsLass and have a very serious question. Why would a Master want to keep a slave who can't live up to her end of the dynamic? Things were fine when they began but with the economy and job loss everything has changed drastically (car breaks, can't afford to fix, etc...) she learned late in the game that she was expected to foot all financial aspects of the relationship, supply all toy's and do all the traveling. she has begged for release. It has been denied. Just can't figure out the point of keeping her only to make her acutely feel her failure. Please advise. Thank you. while i realize you've had your answers i wanted to respond to something you said. why would a Master toss aside someone he's chosen to own and make an investment in? people fail and make mistakes, but we don't chuck them out of our lives. we allow them to learn, grow, and make amends if necessary. if he was willing to cast you aside over something that is temporary, because financial situations do change, i'd definitely suggest that his idea of ownership is somewhat skewed. it isn't that you can't live up to your end of the dynamic, you have outside complications that impede your ability to do so. if those were absent you wouldn't be posing the question. in regard to feeling your failure, i've been there more times than i recall and am quite hard on myself. but as each day passes i remind myself it isn't healthy. acknowledging ones mistakes and atoning is far different from beating yourself up about the situation and allowing it to dampen your spirits. it is an endless cesspool and when you're done you still have the issues. rather than feel the failure, just accept that things happen and learn from your actions. i believe what we often consider failures are truthfully life lessons that prepare us for things to come or cause us to address things we'd probably ignore otherwise. i wish you well in your journey and the improvement of your condition on all levels. porcelaine
