Between the economy and the holidays stress levels are rising as thresholds are falling. Things that would have drawn comfort or compassion any other time can set off an explosion now. This is common around Christmas in any relationship as people rush to get things done, but can be just as hard in a D/s relationship as well. That said. Bumping your head on the car latch , a door frame or ANYTHING really HURTS! I did that about 3 weeks ago and cried like a baby from the pain and while the tiny gash has healed it is still tender as all get out.I have seen it bring tears to the eyes of strong men.. If he is causing scenes in restaurants..do what you would do with an Um..walk away and ignore it. While with an Um you can't let them out of eye sight, with an adult..you can. Bad behavior is bad behavior, Dom or sub, husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. You can't argue if the other person refuses to be involved with the argument. Couples therapy might help, but something has his hackles up...you need to find out what it is..and yours. Now.. For Housesub4 you... The problem I suspect is not her wanting to go to see family or yours to go snowmobiling. I suspect instead it is you bought a big ticket item at a time the economy is iffy at best and told her it was her Christmas gift to you. She may have already purchased something she really wanted to give you, she may have accepted the hint and gotten it for you herself..you took that joy away from her and that choice. So Yep, she is not going to be happy with that snowmobile and it is likely that if she aint' happy you ain't gonna be allowed to be happy. Compromise may be your best option..spend part of the holidays with her family and put on a happy face, then invite her to go snowmobiling with you before a romantic dinner at a lodge or hotel. Include the genitals of dead plants, a purported aphrodisiac, and a fine beverage to lower inhibitions in that romantic dinner and a LOT of groveling with prezzies. poenkitten (um that's Flowers, Chocolate and Fine Wine for those who don't geek out)
