Proprietrix -> RE: Mistress is worried (5/10/2006 12:21:33 PM)

I've been following this thread since it began, and I commented once asking if the couple had met in real time. After which, I was messaged privately by the OP with his answer. I have also followed his other threads. Based on what I have observed, I feel that the OP is a very confused individual, who is quite sub frenzied, and jumping into a situation without logically thinking it through. I also fully believe that his new "Domme" is a very confused individual who is completely (though maybe unintentionally) taking advantage of him. I'm not saying this is or is not the situation, but it is the conclusion I've come to in observing the OP, his various posts, this thread, and his private responses to me. I truly, in my heart, believe that this boy is going to get hurt. As for the OP... I believe the reason no one is providing direct feedback to the questions you posed, is because they are responding to the bigger picture. When *I* look at this situation, I see a potential victim posing hypothetical questions about what might or might not happen to a third party who might or might not be involved. Your hypothetical questions are of no importance to me when I'm sitting back watching a situation that is all too familiar, that potentially could result in the total dissaray of your life and emotions. It's kind of like a child standing in the middle of the road asking me how to tie his shoe, and I can see an oncoming truck. I simply *can't* take the time to teach the lesson of shoe-tying when I feel an obligation to get this kid out of the freaking road so he doesn't get hit by this truck. The reason we keep all swaying from the questions at hand is because we are trying to warn you that you are about to get hit by a truck. It is more a priority to get out of a potentially dangerous situation. Tend to safety first, *then* we can sit back and have discussions about alpha males and the dynamics of being a switch. (And I'm not insinuating that there is physical danger impending. Although I feel it *could* be. I am more concerned at this point with the emotional damage that seems inevitable in this situation.) As for the "Domme" in this situation. I fully admit, I don't know you and I have no clue what your intentions are in this situation, but based on what I've been observing, I see red flags all across the board. As I stated above, I absolutely feel that you are just as, if not even more, confused than the OP. I see you taking advantage of an already confused person, and then to boot, you are trying to disuade the lifestyle community from telling him honest truths. I'm not accusing you of any behavior in particular, but it might be wise for you to note that trying to isolate a submissive from community opinion, can be seen as a precursor to abuse. Perpetrators quite often isolate their victims from differing points of view for the fear that the victim might be persuaded to start thinking for him/herself. Many people here have offered honest, forthright feedback and advice. They have advised him, without sugar-coating, to slow down, not jump into potentially volatile situations, to step back and look at the bigger picture, to set up face-to-face meetings, to do background checks, to do drug & STD testing, to get to know someone before sacrificing his current way of life, and to think long and hard about moving across the country. You hear this advice and say you are disheartened, say we could be hurting his feelings, and accuse them of poking fun at him. You tell us to only say nice things to him. (Even though sometimes the truth isn't always feel-good and nice.) You try to draw attention away from our concerns for his well-being by saying it isn't the issue at hand. You bring up your past activities of being hogtied within 5 minutes of meeting someone. Most people in this lifestyle place high emphasis on safety. We see that you do not. And it concerns us for the OP. You have proven your confusion about your role. The OP has proven his confusion about his role. You flat out say that you don't see how anyone can be hurt if it doesn't work out. But many of us are trying to tell both you and he, that we *DO* understand how he can get very hurt emotionally. You have little to lose because *he* is the one sacrificing his current way of life. It seems to me like you are trying to come across as a martyr to the OP. I find it manipulative at best, and potentially abusive at worst. ***After having written all of this I noticed that the "Mistress" in question here has completely deleted her profile anyway. I can only hope the OP is still paying attention to the threads he started and can at least think logically about the different types of advice he has been given, to form logical conclusions about his relationships and his life. If not, I'm satisfied chalking this up to natural selection.
