Donkfield, In some relationships you are right, it is more about belonging to someone you care about than the actual ownership itself. I know some relationships however, that are exactly the opposite. The s-type, slave or submissive, couldn't function in the real world without a collar around their neck. In this lifestyle there is a lot of duality, there are a lot of labels and words with more than one definition, and not everything is the same for everyone. Most of us live by the credo "to each is own", meaning that you can do whatever it is that suits your fancy as long as you aren't causing anyone else undo harm (and I say harm because a lot of people I know are pain sluts and you can hurt them all day long. ^.^). For me personally, if someone I had submitted to not only let themselves go but also changed, I would have a conversation with them first, but if nothing changed you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be out of there. No difference there than in the vanilla world. If you can't be what I need, then you don't stick around long. Children (as was the case when my now ex-husband and I divorced) or not, I am unwilling to maintain a destructive relationship. Especially where the wee ones are concerned, staying in a failed relationship can and does cause more damage than the couple splitting up. Disagree all you like, this is my opinion as a child of a failed marriage. I'm glad my mother had the nerve to finally walk away. Anywho, Porcelaine had a very good point as well. Things don't usually go sour over night and it's what we do every day that changes our relationships. :D Lil Bit
