Cherishable, and the lot of you, Don't think I mean any disrespect. Don't think that I'm judging any individual involved. I don't think this has been brought up, so I'll take a crack at this and still hope to walk away from this at the end of the day with some respect from the readership. In the last couple of days you have brought issues before the forums, and they are not bad issues. But the element that seems to be missing is communication. You have been in the Lifestyle for a couple of months, wih him. He has been about for a couple of years. Clearly you are new (although a couple of months can equate to years in some other people's experience), and it is difficult to see how his two year's have molded him. In both of these threads, there have been communication breakdowns. Between your Master and yourself, and between you and us. You get advice based on certain assumptions, and then you try to clarify so we can gather a different set of assumptions and alter the assistance. It's very tricky living your relationships in front of an audience. We all have issues from time to time, but having to explain every bit to get our points across just seems like going to the gynacologist. It has to be uncomfortable for you, and sometimes you need to adjust because the lighting isn't quite right to see what needs to be seen. Is that what you want? You seem to want to be with this man very much, and hopefully he desires you as well. I don't know if the both of you need to rewind the past two months, but it seems like there is a bit of 'going back to the drawing board' is in order. A dom(me)/Master/Mistress needs to be able to articulate to you what they expect from a sub/slave. In the case of M/s, which I also liken to ownership, this communication needs to be ever more intense so all parties understand the expectations. For your part, you need to make certain you understand, and if there is something missing, you need to ask. Go slow. Be thorough. As the servant, you of course need to understand 'place' and how to communicate with the appropriate 'respect'. Some linquistic somersaults might be in order to suit his taste; I will leave that up to him. It is all right for you to defend him to us. But in the back of your mind you should always be learning so you can understand if there is something that he is missing, and to be able to bring things up to him with the appropriate 'tone'. I hope this helps. Jeff
