Lily, Like the Trace Adkins song says, "Looks like we're gonna get along juuust fine" Okay, you've made some pretty heavy handed and sarcastic statements without walking a day in my shoes. Perhaps you can throw away a six figure salary, over a decade of marriage, and multiple children just to 'Live the Lifestyle!" - most of us can't. I won't, TYVM. Hrm....thou protesteth too much. Actually, if you thought that was sarcasm, you don't know me very well. Your ability or inability to throw away a six figure salary just proves that you lack integrity. And are a selfish person. quote:
I've heard it before - The hardcore folks say we should get divorced and that I should 'go live the lifestyle!' but most don't have real jobs with global responsibilities. I certainly wouldn't presume to tell you what to do. I will tell you, on a public forum what I think. If what I've had to say has bothered you so badly, perhaps you should take a moment and do some introspection. I'm simply some broad who has an opinion; it has clearly rocked you a little. You might do yourself a favor and ask 'why'. quote:
Then, oddly, I run into the morality police who can point the finger just fine at me but get all huffy because someone outside the community calls them a 'freak'. WTF is that about?!? I'm a freak. I don't take any offense to that ~shrug~ What the fuck that is about is perhaps someone's touched a nerve in you. You might want to look at that. quote:
You've also assumed: 1. That I would abuse any form of percieved power as a Dom that I may or may not have. As you well know, I have none unless it is willingly given. 2. That I would not practice full-disclosure with my potential partners - in other words, that I am a Liar. We don't know each other and we've never met, so Madam, You owe me an apology. Madam is some other broad, and fairly presumptuous a title for you to use with a woman you don't know. How is it my fault that you haven't been clear in the way you expressed yourself. There is nothing in your previous post that indicates that you have disclosed your activities with submissives in BDSM with the woman you don't want to lose because of your six figure income. Unless I read you wrong, you can see how it feels to want that apology... quote:
From where I sit, full disclosure is an assumed part of the 'consensual' aspect in any relationship - I am blatantly honest because I don't want any misconceptions or misunderstandings. Whatever happens past that point is between two adults who understand the context and limits of that relationship and damn the morality police. 3. That I don't want to try a full blown D/s and S/m relationship with my wife. We've tried and she can't get her mind around or past the "Why do you want to hurt someone?" -particulalry her - as part of sex. In complete disclosure, she also has told me that she is not prepared emotionally to share me openly with anyone else. Now, in her family that's a code phrase for turning a blind eye. I'd rather she just let me go openly but she's not ready. Hey if she's comfortable, no need to open me a new one. I'm still suspect that my comments have riled you up to the degree they have and that everything's completely rosey on the home front. ~shrug~ quote:
Believe me this: if she woke up one morning with a riding crop in her hand and asked me to spank the white off her little tight ass, I'd probably never leave the house! The reality is that it most likely won't happen and I am - like many, many others here and other online and offline communities are - left with those three choices. I respect your opinion and heartfully disagree. In the Minority and From Iraq, -DocWatson- Gee Doc, for a guy who 'respects my opinion' you opened me up pretty good. I'm not here to validate you nor am I here to validate me. We all have opinions, and I'm traditionally a hard ass with the married cheaters. Oh well, no one who's been around for a while would expect less from me. Again, you are well within your rights to disagree. If we all agreed with each other around here things would be fairly bland. Lily
