ORIGINAL: PrincessBrienna I didn't want to let go because he seemed so perfect but I keep thinking that if I don't I would probably get hurt eventually and probably very soon... I switched off my phone I don't want him convincing me with sweet words :( I quoted this post because it had 3 very smart realizations in it. - He SEEMed so perfect. -- Excellent observation. - I would probably get hurt...soon. -- Yup - I don`t want him convincing me with sweet words. In your previous post you mentioned that you had talked and he had calmed all your fears. When I read that I thought òf course he talked her out of her worries. For now at least. He`s got a good line of gab. You are young. He is much older. Gives him the advantage, both in material stuff to dazzle you with (or pay you with) and experience in how to manoeuvre people. That isn`t criticism in any way. You`ve been an adult (ie out of childhood) for maybe 10 years. He`s been adult for 40+ years. That`s 4x the adult experience. = = = You`re quite changeable Princess. Each post you seem to go a different way: Thanks, you`re all so awesome to help. Don`t call me names and say I need therapy. -- Sometimes perfectly nice people need therapy. Not saying you do or you don`t. But don`t take an observation like that and interpret it as criticism. Lots of people suffer from treatable mental conditions. Again, not saying you do. But some of the things you`ve shown us here make some of us, who also have a lot of life experience, that you have some issues you could use some help with. Therapy is one possible avenue for that help. You were right. We talked. He convinced me. It`s all good now. Many here advised you to communicate. You started out doing that. Then he sold and you bought. I don`t want to listen to you anymore. I`m closing this thread. --uh. If you don`t want to listen any more, just stop reading. But you don`t own the thread and can`t stop us from talking here. That`s kind of a little girl thing to say. And you figured you`d do so by calling in a grownup (the mods). I overheard him with a ProDomme. He IS using me. ---Bingo. Now don`t let him sweet talk you again. He wants what is good for him. Seems to figure he`s bought or snowed or charmed you, so you`ll do what he wants. A Dom gets what he wants from his sub. But, in my books at least, wasn`t honorable in how he `became`your Dom. So he doesn`t deserve your service. You said you`ve told him firmly you don`t want poly. I doubt you & he negotiated initially. You wouldn`t know that`s a thing. He might, but it wouldn`t serve his interests. Negotiation happens at the beginning. Or should. Before you surrender your power. Before you`re his sub and he`s your Dom. You discuss interests, health issues, things you don`t want to do for now (soft limits) and things you don`t EVER want to do (hard limits). If you had negotiated, you would presumably have told him poly is either a soft limit (MAYBE. In time. After experience & trust are MUCH better established. No, next Tuesday is right out.) or a hard limit. Not NOW. Not EVER. He`d have the choice. Accept those limits and agree to respect them fully. Or not become your Dom. Sure, lots of couples don`t do that. And lots of couples end up having problems. Like yours or others. Problems that might have been avoided with negotiation & agreement up front and better communication throughout. I really didn`t mean to go on this long. But one thing brought on another. and another... Good luck, Princess. Stay strong. Find a good Dom. Take it slow. Negotiate & agree. Then, I hope, enjoy your youth with a Dom you respect & love. And can trust. P.S. Last thought: google an article called An Acid Test for Doms. (It`s actually for subs...to test potential Doms). There`s a bunch of `types`to watch out for. It shows you what to look for--and look OUT for--in a potential Dom. That could help you now & in future.
