ORIGINAL: Icarys Nobody in my intimate relationships has the authority to look over my shoulder..If I said I'd do it I'll do it..In my time not hers. If I decide not to do it then I don't...It's all up to me..Just the way I like it. A female pushing me to do things usually winds up not getting what she wants. Not an unusual response. But I don't see it as a matter of authority... more a matter of trustworthiness. How can you ever depend on someone when you never know if or when they'll do what they say? Obstinacy and unpredictability aren't terribly reassuring character traits. It is one thing if it's a generic comment like, "we're going to start working out." There's no time frame associated with that, and I'm not likely to make any comment as a reminder. If, however, I'm told something specific like, "we're going to go to the gym on Saturday morning at 9am" and then he carelessly stays up until the wee hours Saturday morning then sleeps until 1pm, I'm likely to ask for confirmation if he makes plans to go the following Saturday. If again the plans go by the wayside, then I'm going to wonder if he can be trusted to keep his word. * It really has nothing to do with dominance, either. So you want to control your life. No problem. Take responsibility for what you do, and what you say you're going to do. Don't let some little ol' female wrest promises out of you that you have no desire to keep. Sheesh... I can manage to do that and I'm just a submissive. [&:] * Disclaimer: This is an entirely fictitious example. Firm never promises to go to the gym. We have one at home, anyway. [;)]
