Lots of issues here eh? For the most part, I am vehemently against dishonesty. And I very much view the withholding of information as dishonesty. Based on what you've said though, this is much more than just dishonesty. This is an entire relationship that is quickly sliding down the gutter and it's at that point where the participants are picking at the little things for the one-up. War of the Roses anyone? quote:
I came here to live with Master 6 yrs ago as his slave. The first 6 months were great, then things rapidly went downhill. Why do you remain in this relationship with it the way it is? Is the issue really his communication with other women? Or is the issue that you are in a relationship that isn’t working out? quote:
I have been celebate for 5 yrs now, because I am fat and he is no longer interested in me sexually. Celibate isn’t bad. It’s just different. Has he told you it’s because you’re fat? Or are you assuming it? Are your needs being met? If not, have you told him? Was anything done about it? quote:
He has many ex g/f's, and seems to not be able to let go of them. Let go of them how? If they are ex girlfriends, then it stands to reason that he has let go of them as girlfriends. Are you expecting him to cut off his friendships? If so, why would you expect that of him? quote:
He has told me about it most of the time, and I usually get very upset. Why do you get upset? quote:
There was a time a few yrs ago when I was so distraught due to his lying to me, that I did go through his email. I found things that I wish I had never read. Things he said to them that were very negative about me, and hurtful. I would comfront him, he would get angry with me, tell me it was none of my business, etc. Shame on him for lying to you. Shame on you for going through his email. Shame on both of you for your lack of appropriate communication skills. Why are the two of you still together if you are lying to each other and sneaking around invading one another’s privacy? quote:
Last week another g/f emailed him, ( he told me about it) and wanted to come to our house for a visit, as she was coming to the area on business. I told him I was uncomfortable with it, and would rather she not come. He once again got angry, accusing me of being overly jealous, blah, blah, blah. Another fine example of poor communication skills between the two of you. I really don’t see that he was doing anything wrong here. He (and this other woman) very much put their shit on the table for you. Based on what you’ve said, I get the impression that they were relating to one another as friends only. They were more than willing for you to be involved in that friendship. It was right there in front of you, in your home. No secrecy at all. If he can’t even have his friendships in your plain sight, in your home, and in essence, under your supervision, what the hell kind of friendships do you allow this man to have? And why is he answering to his slave about something as simple as friendships? Shame on you. Now, on the other side of the coin. You explained to him that you were uncomfortable with something and his response instead of communicating and working through the problem, was to get angry at you. Shame on him. quote:
Things escelated to the point of me telling him I was leaving. Sounds like a good idea… for both of you. quote:
I am a full time college student, and have only 10 months to go before I graduate. Due to the importance of my education, I decided to stay and try and stick it out for 10 more months. Lots of options here. Get your own apartment on a year lease. That’ll give you 2 extra months to find a job once you graduate. Change the dynamics of this relationship while you’re still living in the home. Take it to Master/slave only. Or boyfriend/girlfriend only. Or simply friends. Or roommates. Move into a different bedroom if need be. Or start sacking out on the sofa. This could actually be an opportunity for a smooth transition from 24/7 M/s to going separate ways, without having to cut into the hearts of those involved. quote:
The ex g/f emailed us both and said that she was going to decline his invitation to visit because she did not want to get in the middle, and realized it made me uncomfortable. I don’t blame her. I probably would have done the same thing. I’m sure he’s probably pissed about it. After all, you won. quote:
I have NOT snooped in his stuff, but my gut instinct ( call it women's intuition) tells me that he emailed her last night, and that they are planning to meet anyway while she is here behind my back. I understand the gut instincts thing and I encourage people to listen to their gut. So let’s assume that what you suspect is true. Keep in mind that these two people openly and honestly offered to get together right in front of you, in your home, and you said no. That leaves them 2 options. Meeting one another away from you (as you suspect they are doing and you’re not happy about) or not seeing each other while she’s in from out of town. Again I ask, why is it so important to you that he have no friendships? You my dear are the one who eliminated his option of doing things forthright. You are the one who pissed on the idea of him being open and honest in front of you. You are the reason he is seeing her in private now. quote:
If I ask him about this, he will lie to me, ( he has done it before), and then tell me I am accusing him of doing things he is not doing. Probably. He knows if he tells you the truth you are going to get in an argument again. I don’t agree that lying is how he should handle it, but I can understand why he would lie. Until you move out, it is his path of least resistance in keeping his friends. quote:
So, I was just wondering if it is appropriate, or as a slave, is it really none of my business if he meets her behind my back, even though he knows it will upset me. Sounds to me like the Master/slave dynamic is way beyond gone. You’re obviously running the show. He acts based on how you will react. You’re the one in control. It also sounds like any boyfriend/girlfriend dynamic is gone, if not soon ending, because you’ve already stated that you’re just hanging around at this point to finish up college. Maybe give back the collars and rings, and both of you go about your lives without answering to one another. Like Calandra said, it sounds like a relationship of mutually using each other until you finish school. That’s not necessarily a bad thing as long as it’s all out on the table and everyone agrees. Not even all roommates are close friends. Sometimes they’re just using each other for financial benefit. quote:
I guess I should have known that I would be flamed and blasted for my post. I didn’t see anyone flame and blast you. I saw people state the obvious. The truth hurts, but it doesn’t make it less true, nor does it make it an attack. No one said "You’re a stupid idiot." They said "Here is the situation I see and here’s what I think would be a good avenue to take care of the problem you’ve described." And some people pointed out that he is to blame for some of the problem and you are to blame for some of the problem. It’s a joint effort in a relationship. How do you get "flaming and blasting" out of that? Or was it that you needed validated and wanted us to say "Oh poor little innocent slave girl who has done nothing wrong. Your Master is an evil terrible man and yes you have every right to feel like a victim." No one is here to stroke your ego. What you fail to understand is that we are not stroking his ego either. We are a bunch of outsiders who see this situation, (from your point of view even) and have taken a diplomatic stance on what we perceive. quote:
Yes I am whining and complaining. Yes I am jealous. Yes it is all MY fault that he is doing this. Yes it is MY fault that I am lied too, and disrespected. Yes it is MY fault that I am still here. Yes it is MY fault that I chose to get an education here. Say it without whining, in a civilized tone, and you’ll find that much of what you just said is nothing but bare raw fact. He’s no saint in this situation. But darling, neither are you. Part of maturity is owning up to mistakes so we don’t make them again.
