ORIGINAL: RRafe Trust really needs to go both ways. I used to think that simple rules and structure could solve evey problem and issue. That was me allowing myself to be programmed by stereotypes. It tripped me up in dealing with actual women-who would pay lip service to those ideals-but who didn't really want that in the end. So that obviously wasn't working, and I was forced to adapt to more realistic dynamics. What I do now is communicate and test. If I see ANYTHING that causes a twinge in my gut-I will push on it like an absolute bastard..Because I am going to use the same intensity in going after the truth-as someone like this CLAIMS to want-but in ways that will NOT carry a legal consequence for me. If I can push the emotional boundaries that hard-show the reality behind the fantasy.....and she doesn;t crack,doesn't have tantrums, doesn't fall apart..... I realize the possibility that I MAY be dealing with a mentally and emotionally stable person. Even then, it's going to take time to convince me, and gain my trust. It's a tweo way street ,and things are earned-not given. This, i think, is helping to clarify some things in my mind...things that my Daddy is trying to teach (but he has a method that usually involves me stewing on it, disecting it, and waiting fo a long time, then figuring it out)(of course, in that process i am also attempting to accept and i am obeying) He will occasionally just throw stuff out there, and he says that if those things are followed in the next day or so by some sort of meltdown on my part, then he knows that i am not ready to go there. Before i sound like the type of female that you seem to be talking about, i will say in my own defense, that sometimes....usually....if i were more allowed to communicate, and if what i said to him was heard and acknowledged, then most of these meltdowns would not exist....not that i'd be meltdown free...but.. better)...Communication to me is a huge way of building trust, and when i can't communicate then my trust suffers and so does everything else. Edited to add: Btw, i personally never actually have tantrums...or anything like that, i just get more quiet...and have alot of questions....seek a ton of clarity and maybe will cry.
