"I don't think I would ever REALLY believe that forcing someone to restrict their diet would be the same as trying to force them to enter a faith based religion where I would compromise what they believed to be their eternal salvation. This is not something I would even consider, or would ever be an issue for me. So, I am a little put off by the comparison. " I have to say, I agree with porcelaine and I don't think you should've been offended by that comparison. Because both do involve faith, personal beliefs, and personal morals/ethics. You are choosing that lifestyle because of your inner thoughts and beliefs, not because of health problems. And by forcing him to adopt that lifestyle, it's not that different from forcing him to adopt a religion. Imagine he was a Buddhist, and you told him he had to become a Christian. Follow the Christian holidays and go to church every Sunday. He'd do it because he loved you- not because it was from the heart. Since he's debating about this, and doesn't want to give up seafood... He's obviously not happy about it. I understand that it could be a problem for you later down the road, but... *Subs have feelings too*- and in my opinion, feelings about personal beliefs should be equal in any relationship, even a D/s one. How would you feel if it was reversed and he was pressuring you to do something you were unhappy with? I also agree with the previous poster when they asked about it being part of a previous agreement, and that it would be unfair to establish it since it wasn't agreed upon initially. In conclusion, I really think you need to think more of *his* feelings and the way *he* feels- not just "how can I make him do what I want". If you love you, you need to look at it from other perspectives than "your royal Domme-liness".
