ORIGINAL: tamaka As long as he enjoys having to force you to do stuff all the time... i guess it's all good. Huh... where would you get the assumption that he does? Seems like he must always be on his guard and ready to since he can't assume you'll obey. You mean how like people in a leadership roles must actually be ready and willing to lead? Yeah, the burden of command sucks like that. And while he can't just assume I will obey, he's pretty good at predicting whether I will or not... Seeing that you, personally, can't seem to think in anything but the simplest of examples, tamaka... think of it this way: Plantation slaves in the 1800s... did they need to be whipped for every individual fluff of cotton they picked, or was the general knowledge that they could be whipped for failing to meet quotas usually sufficient to get them to comply? How often do you think the average slave was actually disciplined in order to get them to obey commands? And if, on a certain plantation, slaves would figure out that they would not be disciplined, not matter what they did, even with full out disobedience, do you think they would keep picking cotton? My relationship is the same way. If Ullr tells me to do something, I know that if I don't comply there will be consequences. If consequences fail to produce the desired results, he will use physical force in an ever escalating pattern, until he gets what he wants. My option to stop that sequence it to leave the relationship. Barring that, he'll do what it takes to get what he wants. It means that if he tells me to get him coffee, he gets it, because I'm unlikely to be willing to put up with the consequences for not getting him coffee. But likewise, he's not limited to only ordering me to do stuff I'd voluntarily obey him on. He can order me to do stuff I wouldn't or couldn't comply with on my own, and then make me do it anyways. It results in a dynamic where I pretty much do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, but he's got to stay on top of the fact that he's actually getting it. He can't just give me an order, never check up on its compliance, and then forget about it indefinitely, trusting that it's just taken care of in perpetuity because he casually mentioned it once. If he's not going to enforce obedience, and I don't feel like following the command, I won't do it. I'm not in an obedience/pleasing dynamic with him. I have given no guaranty that I'll obey him, nor do I give a shit about pleasing him beyond how much he inspires me to care. What I've done is given him the guarantee that I won't hold him enforcing my obedience against him legally, regardless of what methods he chooses to implement. If he chooses to extract no obedience from me whatsoever, and let me do whatever I want, so be it. Likewise, if he chooses to put me into a strict micromanagement situation where I cannot even refuse to comply, even if I wanted to, so be it as well. It's his choice... He's the one responsible for getting him what he wants. I'm not the one responsible for giving it to him without any effort on his part.
