ORIGINAL: michaelGA2 [snip] as a sub, which of course, they are unaware of this fact, do i have a right to be anger or upset? how should i deal with this situation? Hello michaelGA2, You talk about what happened and then ask if you have a right to be angry. I am not really concerned with what happened. You had an emotional response to a stimuli in your life. This emotion was angry. Do you have a right to feel angry? Sure. Or not. My point is that you got angry, and whether you feel you have a right or not is not, to me, overly relevant to the question. There was a review that Eric Idle gave on a book a few years ago, his review was "I laughed until I stopped." Kinda says it all. He laughed, you got angry, eventually you both stopped feeling that emotion and moved on with your life. In my opinion, where people run into trouble is what they do with those feelings. Do they rant and scream? break things? Fall down sobbing? Accept it and move on? Have pointless affairs? Break up with their significant other? Sell their children? Move to Mongolia? To me, it doesnt really matter what a person feels. Why the person feels that way may be useful in debugging behaviors that result from those feelings. What a person does with their feelings is where, I believe, people run into difficulty. I dont actually think these thoughts apply solely to submissives either. They apply to people. Just me, yadda yadda yadda Sinergy
