RemoteUser -> Omniscience, Not (1/23/2013 10:39:32 PM)

I've observed through numerous threads, recently catalyzed through commentary on a thread in Introductions, the impact of learning on the dynamics inherent in kink.

I don't suppress my girl's self-expression. I'm more inclined to encourage it, even when I don't agree with it. I'd much rather redirect, expand and discuss instead of bark orders. I value her forthright nature; she's taught me a few things about our own dynamic, as well as things totally unrelated to kink (or even relationships, for that matter). I've taught her a few things in return. It's something I enjoy, as well. Most recently, my girl taught me about social dynamics she observes through journals on the other side. I reciprocated by giving her a demonstration of my analytical skills.

What have you learned from your current or previous partners? How has it changed your practices or outlook on things? No one is ever too old or too smart to learn something new, so I'm sure everyone here has learned something over the years. It might be positive, negative, self-reflective; social, academic or even trivial.

I wouldn't know where to begin. It would take a library of books to even begin writing what I've learned from the people in my life.

Just one right off the top of my pre espresso brain.......Generic Dude has taught me TONS about long term financial planning and responsibility. In many ways, especially when things are going well, I am more of a 'for the moment, by the seat of my pants' kinda person. He is a Felix Unger. Drives me batshit crazy at times but it's good for me.

Another a very important woman in my life taught me........ being a bossy, mean broad isn't always a bad thing.....[:D]

Even my animals teach me. Probably the most important lesson........time is relevant.

I've learned a lot more about politics and government and finances from him. Those are his specialties. I think he's learned more about....hhhmmm....computers I guess. It's my niche.

Oh, and useless knowledge and facts lol.

His taste in music and movies is definitely of a higher caliber than mine. I still like my feel-good songs and chick flicks, but I am learning more about what it actually means for something to be considered a "good" movie or, to a lesser degree, a "good" song.

On a more meaningful note, I am learning how to be less worried of what others might think of what I say. I also find him to be a role model for self control and, though some of you may find this hard to believe,...compassion.

Oh, and vocabulary. I learn new words from him regularly. Which is just fucking hot, in my book. :)

Him: "Blah blah blah blah dasyphyllous blah blah blah saurian blah blah blah nepheligenous blah blah."
Me: "What does that mean?"
Him: "Look it up."

Yum. That's just foreplay right there.

I learned I can eat zucchini without getting grossed out and he learned he can eat spinach without getting grossed out. [:D]

On a serious note, like LaT said, I've learned from everyone who's been in my life, and hopefully they've learned from me. With the Mister, I've learned patience (he might still argue that one), and really - what it is to be loved for who I am, which is enormous to me. He's learned about being in a large family, and sharing, and to let go of certain stresses.

And I think we both learned about joy.
