Jujubee.. My recommendation is to -immediately- revoke the consent.You also need to make it very clear that if anything happens to you and he tries to follow through now that you've revoked consent, you -will- press charges. You already know that, though, or you wouldn't be here asking what you think you should do. You also need to cut this person -off- completely. Block, sever ties -- whatever you want to call it -- and take a -substantial- amount of time to get your head back together before you start looking again. I tell clients that, as hard as it is, you need to give yourself at LEAST six months before embarking on another relationship -- it takes that long to sort out all the reasons you made the choices that you did, and figure out what you really need and want. Some folks do a great job of doing this on their own, and I don't know you, so I don't know how you handle the interim spaces between relationships, but I -do- know, from a lot of years of providing pastoral care in the community, that some people really struggle with being able to say the magic "No" and/or "Wait" and/or "Slow down". I know that there are a number of people here who will "pooh-pooh" asking someone else for help with these things, but if you find that you are one of those people who struggles because you -have- to be in a relationship or you feel "off kilter" and cut adrift, and so are apt to jump for the next person who says the right words, rather than expending some patience, perhaps you might want to find a fellow submissive individual who can provide a 'fail-safe' for you, or, if you REALLY have to have someone in control to help you say "no" or "wait", then you might consider finding someone in your local community with whom you would NOT have an ongoing relationship (I often suggest someone of the opposite gender that you'd normally be attracted to) to provide both someone to escort you to local events (if you do things like that) and/or to help you to slow down and think before jumping right into another relationship. Hope this helps. Calla
