ORIGINAL: sweetnurseBBW My question is how do you not let players get you so upset that everyone gets hurt? Why is it so much easier to believe bad things than the good? I think that once we have it in our head that we are comfortable with someone (and trust them to an extent), it's a serious fall from grace when we find out otherwise. It sounds as though you were looking forward to having some time with this girl, and she turned out to be scum. That's a hard thing to deal with no matter what the situation. Unfortunately, I have had my share of players, and now Sir is having to pay the price a bit and though it's not fair, it happens. There is no real way to prevent being hurt by someone, but you can do, as juliaoceania suggested, and watch for red flags. Beware of things that seem too good to be true, and question everything. Stay back emotionally until you feel that you have found out enough to move forward. I have done that with Sir and am much happier for it. This has seemed to work for me. It won't prevent 100% of the heartache, but it will help you to be objective and attempt to protect your heart. As far as it being easier to believe bad things than good... it seems that people try much harder to be hurtful than to be nice. When you caught this girl in a lie, she used defense to make you back off. She triggered something in you that made you begin to doubt yourself, and that doubt may have stemmed from the fact that you believed her and she turned out to be a liar, so are you now making a mistake with your Master (meaning: is he lying to you as well)?? It's a complex and ugly psychological game, and it works just about every time. Humans seemed to be programmed to doubt. It takes a great amount of mental fortitude, especially for women, to remain positive that the decisions we make about those that we care for are the right ones. No one likes to be hurt. You have since recovered a bit, and whatever you did to do that is what you need to keep in mind the next time a liar tries to tear down your psyche against your Master. Good luck!
