ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt Welcome to the discussion side of CM. Thank-you. You look like you mean it - whatever it is. quote:
ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep if she's not reliable in a relationship, to the degree that you want, be honest and have a talk with her. seriously, being passive aggressive and hoping she'll dump you after she reads this, that's not a very "take-charge" quality, at least not to me... if you can't own your feelings and your decisions, then... how can you be a good leader? ANYWAY, welcome to the CM forums. Thanks for your welcome, and that you would put aside what you saw as negative stuff to welcome me. I read your profile, so I imagine you mean well. loriellen is not open or honest, and I don't know how to have a relationship like that. OBVIOUSLY: Of course I did talk to her; why would you assume I wouldn't be honest or wouldn't talk to her? Slap on the hand for that ... tsk, tsk. I talked and she did her song-and-dance and I told her to call me when she's able to be open with me. But you should understand that she comes from a horribly dysfunctional family, and she has been damaged. Some of this she has worked out; but I do not believe - after 4 months, now - that she is able to be open and honest with herself - nevermind me. So I don't see it as her fault. My post is only honest; that her lack of communication has me wondering about a different relationship is a fact she already knows very well because it is obvious, and I can assure you that she is very much smart enough to know such things without my ever needing to tell her. I can be a very patient man, but I can't wait the ten years of her therapy just so she can tell me how she feels. The fact is that - for whatever reasons - it doesn't appear she'll be able to communicate with me as I see fit that a relationship needs. But it isn't her fault and I will make certain that she is least hurt for it. You don't need to worry about her; I will handle matters as best they can be. Have some trust. I have no intention of her dumping me; she's going to dump me because I'm unwilling to have a relationship without easy and effortless communcation? Is that what you determined? How did your brain manage that one? Perhaps you should be more careful before you make assessments such as that - and then write about them, publically. If you don't see a "take-charge" quality, it is because I have not shown it to you. Now, how on Earth did you come up with me not owning my own feelings or desicions? You have confused my patience with loriellen with indecision, you have mistaken my care for her for passivity, and you have confused a change in my feelings and thoughts about loriellen with not owning them. Perhaps you should be more careful before you make assessments such as you have - and then write about them, publically. Here: I read the profiles of the submissives who viewed loriellen's profile, and mine. I saw an effortless honesty, which is very attractive to me. I discovered, while I was writing - which real-time discovery I think is quite evident - that I had become unsatisfied by a relationship that was missing something crucial; communication, openness, and honesty. This crucial quality is well-represented here on CM, and is evident all over the place in submissive profiles. As far as my leadership quality goes; I lead softly and with care, for those who know they need to be lead. I don't lead those who need to be kicked because they don't know they need to be lead. But I will kick those who need to be lead because they think they're leaders but actually aren't. Here: People who initiate attacks are called "bullies." People who put an end to such things are called "Gentlemen." People who have inner conflicts are honest. People who deny they have inner conflicts are called "hypocrites." People who pretend to have inner conflicts are called "predators." - Richard
