LA is right - if you've accepted this person as your Master - it means you've said you trust their judgment. However, my contention is that people learn and grow in relationships, and things are up for "renegotiation" once in awhile - maybe especially if they've done something so tremendously stupid, it makes you feel you really cannot trust them anymore (or maybe that you didn't know them well enough when you promised to trust them with your life to begin with). If that's the case, I guess I've expressed what I'd do - I'd talk to them about it. Ask what their reasoning is for putting you in this situation. Maybe it was some kind of "trust test". Of course, they don't have to answer you - you're just the submissive or slave (especially if you're a slave they don't have to answer you). Personally, if they decided not to tell me what their reasoning entailed, in this particular case - I'd explain that I feel so seriously under-valued, that I've decided to "move on" - mostly because I'd feel uncomfortable putting my life in the hands of anyone that stupid or non-chalant about my welfare. I know this might not be what a slave (especially) or a submissive is maybe supposed to do - but, in this case, I happen to think a better explanation than just: "Don't ask questions" is in order. I think it could have been a mistake like a complete oversight, in which case he won't really have a good explanantion (although a heart-felt promise to never risk your life again and an apology, might be in order, in that case, I'd think). Maybe if he sees you think it's pretty damn serious, he'll decide to get more serious about thinking of answering you. Then again, I could be completely off-base. You know him better than anyone here on these boards. Is he trustworthy in other ways? Still, this is a situation where you could have ended up seriously in harm's way. I'd bring it up again, in a respectful way, and see where it goes. The decide what you can live with. If he is truly worth your while, I would hope he'd realize just what kind of position answering you with a "Don't ask questions" response puts you in. I know it would put me in the position of questioning just how responsible he reallly is - not a cpomfortable spot ot be in - especially if you are going to be asked continually to put your life in their hands. I think I'd feel confused, too - you're supposed to trust him, but he's giving you reasons not to trust him. Okay - that just doesn't make sense to me - but - I tend to be more of a traditionalist in terms of what I see as situations that enable creating trust. But that's me, it may not be how anyone else would react. I should maybe mention I've never been a really big fan of what is known as a "mindfu_k." I think it tends to undermine trust, as often as it creates more trust, between people. I think trust is too important to really risk losing. I mean - it's only the whole basis of most D/s relationships (or any decent relationship, really). But again, that's a personal preference, and not everyone shares it. - Susan
