I've thought about this one a bit today (since I made my first post a few hours ago). As I said, I curse a lot, but I am very careful to never curse at my Owner. However, there are times when I've come very close to cursing inappropriately at work. I think it's because I do toss around the f-bomb a bit too much in general, so I every once in a while just forget about the power the word can have. As trueshadow said, quote:
ORIGINAL: trueshadow That is a very nasty, and personal, thing to say. I don't agree with trueshadow that it could be a relationship-ender (more on that in a moment), but I do think that when we use the word a lot, we forget how mean it really can be. I am assuming, based on the original post, that the OP used the term thoughtlessly rather than on purpose to offend or hurt her Dom. That makes a difference. I think a punishment for speaking thoughtlessly would be appropriate. Now, if she used the term on purpose to offend or hurt her Dom, I could understand it being a relationship-breaker, depending on how long they've been together, what's causing her to want to offend or hurt her Dom, and other factors. If my Owner said "fuck off" to me and meant it to hurt me, it would do a tremendous amount of damage to our relationship. Now, if he said it thoughtlessly, I'd be surprised and hurt, but I think a conversation about it would set things right and it would not in any way threaten our relationship.
