Laying down the law is no simple task, and is a continuous process within a relationship IMO... Especially when in a relationship with someone with the mind of a lawyer, or actually is one. My little one, and a couple of men I've dated, have been like this. You (generic you) have to speak to the person, until you feel you are clearly understood. There has to be good faith between you two, so that when an error or a shortcoming does occur, you can discuss it openly, without the suspicion that the person is being antagonistic for smartass/resentful reasons. I have no misconception that I'm going to someday, remember to tell my other in a relationship, EVERYTHING he would need to know, in order not to disobey, or disapoint my expectation of proper, respectful behavior, that shows deference to me. What I do hope to have, is trust, that when miscommunication happens, and I ask why, or wonder why, I don't come up with "muthah phucker was just being fowl for its own sake." M P.S. I didn't write my rules like: Don't whine, or this will get much more painful for you, or Always walk by my side, and never in front of me (unless it is to open my door), because those are simplistic, and frankly, not helpful to you IMO. I will say however, that I hope your conversation regarding rules/expectations, never actually do come to the words "obey or leave." I always feel that is implied, and if you disobey after I've clearly communicated my need/want/expectation to you, than your choice is made, and go you must. Relationships are never as simple so as to summarize, begin or end with those few words, but the fact is, you (generic) enter into a relationship with this understanding. Changing it up mid whatever we are going through, wouldn't work for me. I'm always open to discussion, and flexible to life's circumstances, but if the time comes for a decision to be finite needs to be made, I do... Than cry, and take time to get over it, if I need to.
