It is very easy in a fairly new relationship to have doubts and to question. For me, trust comes about very slowly and cautiously. I questioned my Master a lot in the beginining. A LOT. The key is, how I questioned him, and I suspect in your case, you did what I occasionally did. If you fling accusations across the bow, and then question - "Why would you do such n such?" Yep, you can count on the fact he is not happy about it. Particularly if you become swayed by outside forces and opinions. My Master is the best Master in the world for me but guess what? If I had listened to and heeded the advice of others - those who knew me and those who didn't - I would not have stayed with him and my life would be much different now. The reason in my case is because my Master is not the "romantic" type Master that many seek and think is necessary. He is direct, to the point, no-nonsense, and rather stoic. He would have turned off most of my friends. But what works for them was not something that I needed for me. So it's really a matter of trust. In my case, I learned when I became skittish or alarmed by what I was hearing from others, bringing my concerns to him calmly and rationally was always the best option. He would address them, and I would feel calm again. But at some point I had to decide where my trust was going to lie. One can be forgiven and still punished. My Master and I live a couple of hours from each other, so when I screw up, punishment is not always "instant," depending on what punishment he chooses to administer for the particular infraction. There has been a time or two where we have talked it out, and he has said we will need to move on and put it past us, but that I am still owed a punishment over it. Has your dom actually said he forgives you? He is short with you, but that is because you disappointed him, and likely he is considering what to do about that. Likely he is always doing some self-analysis of how he can gain your trust and prevent you from negative influences. Some have responded as though he is ignoring you, but if he is ignoring you, I have missed that part of your posts. You have apologized. If you trust him and want to be his, then wait patiently for him to determine what comes next. Good luck; I know it is not an enjoyable place to be. When he calms, perhaps you both can talk about it more.
