Hello Glasgow, I don't have, want or need a punishment dynamic. I'm a grown woman. I have been taking care of myself since I was 16 years old. I don't need somebody else to tell me what to do anymore. I have chosen to never become that dependent on someone again. Luckily, His Wonderfulness has no need to take care of me. He's in fact glad that I'm so independent. He also is smart enough to know that if I "disobey" it's because something is too difficult for me or he wasn't clear enough or there were factors we didn't consider or it was just simply miscommunication. I love that he takes responsibility for his part in this stuff. I mean, HEY, he's an adult too! There was a gal who said to me, "go ahead and do what you were told not to do.... nobody will tell on you!" Hmmmm... now that is not my scene. I'm not going to say.. "Oh he said 10 p.m. bedtime... But he didn't say what time zone!" That's crap. If I talk to him about a problem (like how sleepy I am), and he gives me a suggestion, I trust him enough to try it out and then see how it works. I go to bed early because I can get up and talk to him before work! If not, I'm too tired to talk to him. His 10 p.m. bedtime suggestion was for my sake, so I could be awake for work, and it was for his sake - so he could enjoy my company when we talk. He and I talk things through, we deal with things, and then we have a little fun. That works for me! Best, sunshine
