DarkSteven -> RE: Any sub feels they can adhere to all these rules? (1/8/2012 4:08:07 AM)

I have some serious issues with these rules. 1. Several of them are not thought out. They are too specific and in some cases just plain silly. 2. Evidently they were presented as nonegotiable. 3. The sub, instead of discussing the rules with her Dom, posted them here. Serious breach of protocol. 4. The rules are juvenile. My sub's original rules: 1. I will always be honest and never betray Steven’s trust. 2. I will always remember that when I speak or act in the lifestyle, that I am representing Steven and myself. I will never purposefully do anything that brings shame or discredit to Steven or myself; or anything to cause others to lose respect for us. I will always try to increase the respect that others have for Steven through my own behavior. 3. I will always obey Steven's instructions to the best of my ability, and if I do not understand them will ask for further direction or clarification. If there is a valid objection to following his instructions, I will voice it at once. 4. I will strive to become closer to Steven, earning his trust as he earns mine. 5. I will learn to love and appreciate myself for who I am right now, while striving to become what I am. 6. I am not allowed to disparage or talk down about myself, but will tell Steven when I am in one of my dark moods so that he can help me to get through it. 7. I will use my skills and abilities to benefit Steven and myself, whether asked or not. 8. I will honestly tell Steven my lifestyle desires, even if they are embarrassing to admit. 9. I will also be honest about those things that are completely off-limits, making a careful determination whether those things are fears of the unknown, or genuine limits. 10. I will share my vanilla life with Steven as much as practicable, so that they can both share in my joys and help me through my disappointments. 11. I am not to speak ill of Steven or anyone involved with him (including myself) to others. 12. I am to be vanilla in vanilla settings. 13. I am to request permission from him to play with others. Other interactions short of play do not require permission. 14. I am to show respect to him and to myself. If I believe that he has said or done something that does not show respect to me or himself, I shall notify him. 15. I am to notify him when I go to bed. 16. I am to initiate contact with him a minimum of three times per week. That can be a phone call, a text, email, message on Fet, or an in person visit. 17. I am to quit smoking. 18. I am to take care of myself. That includes eating well, not drinking to excess, etc. The above are the kinds of rules that I feel make sense. They were begun before she moved in with me - I will remove rules 15 and 16 as no longer applicable now that she's living with me.
