You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it.

haven't posted in a while

I haven't posted here for awhile, since before summer. I've been taking a break, been trying to not even THINK about D/s stuff. I keep re-evaluating how I feel about D/s, I suppose as my healing journey progresses so does my D/s journey.

hmmmm, life can be interesting

well, i don't think it's going to go anywhere with the Dom i had coffee with yesterday. what's the old adage? if a guy doesn't call you the next day, forget about it? well, he hasn't emailed me all day today.

and, anyway, i contacted a Dom from my town on collarme a few days ago. We've been emailing back and forth about starting training, and He agreed tonight. so, i'm hoping that it will be a good experience.

It turned out he was only playing with me. Well, fuck him. (8-18-06)

a Dom that i met months ago contacted me

hello hello....

hmmm
I met A early in the year, at a local bdsm meeting. He was very nice, very respectful. I wasn't in any place to meet anyone at the time, which is probably why he said he was with somebody. I was disappointed as hell, but what are ya gonna do? :) lol
I remembered who he was, though.
On friday, or thursday, i was browsing around on collarme.com. Nobody's contacted me on that site for months, so I wasn't expecting anything, but I go there to read the forums.
And, A contacted me via chat, and we talked for about an hour. And, we made plans to get together this week. He said he would have definite plans today. I talked to him again on chat this morning, for another hour. We're meeting for coffee tomorrow. We're also planning on playing a bit. If things go well at coffee. I think they will. I'm not getting any red flags, and I'm actually communicating well with him. I'm feeling good about it.

Today, before therapy, I decided to go back to a Domestic Violence group at the YWCA, that I took four years ago. Just as a refresher. I'm not expecting DV (I'm trying to have very very good thoughts about him), but the course was a very good one. And, with my relationship history, it seemed essential to have the concepts fresh in my mind.

The groups are on Monday nights, so, hey, how well did THAT work out??
I just got home. First impulse I had after about 15 minutes: to run screaming far, far away from the lifestyle, and hide in a hole.
First thought I had: DV can happen in any relationship. So, unless I wanted to hide in a hole in Siberia, I was going to run into the possibility of it in any relationship I would want to have.
Second thought I had: if I don't watch my back, no one else will. If I don't want to end up dead, and I don't, I need to be vigilant of these kinds of things. So, I'm doing good for myself. Yay me. So, I think it's going to be good.
I'll come back and write about the meet tomorrow.

I found the reasons behind Steve

Yay!!!
I finally realized why I kept going back to the son-of-a-bitch. I used him as a distraction when my life started to suck so bad I couldn't stand it.
And, actually, it's easy to stay away from him know that I know this. I know that I can cope differently, and I don't need him, anymore.
I don't think anyone in my 3D life, or anyone who's read this blog for that matter, is convinced that I mean it, this time.
I'm not even sure if I mean it. But.....I do know that this time is different. I haven't seen him now for about a month and a half to two months.

In other news.....my dear friend, Barb, who I met at a slosh, passed away this last Sunday. She was a good friend. She was the best. She had cancer, but she was so very up-beat and positive about life. She was so sure she was going to beat it. She might have, but she had a heart attack, and that combined wiht chemo that kept making her seriously sick......
I'm going to miss her.
May you have peace, Barb.

am I not pathetic??

oh yes, i think so.

deep down, i keep waiting for steve to call. every time the phone rings, i get all excited, and i run for the phone. .....i'm not sure what i would d0 if he actually callled.

i want him to tell me that he's moved on blah blah blah, and he can finally be with me. i know it's not true; that's not going to happen.

a friend told me that steve and i keep running into each other b/c i'm not over him, and our energies keep 'calling to each other'. i firmly agree with her. she gave me some ideas to protect myself from his energy. i haven't tried them, yet. i guess i'm not ready.

i need to get over him, again. i need to get over him.

changing the subject....i've been having a lot of dreams lately about being in high school. not actual memories, but being in uniform in an all-girls school. last night's dream....i couldn't quite hear what the teachers were saying. i dream about being in marian's staircases, going to and from class. last night, i was a junior. most of them, i think, i'm a sophomore or freshman.

(in the high school i went to, there was a lot of competition between the classes. if you were a freshman, you learned you were on the bottom of the "totem pole". if you were a senior, you were very proud of it. sophomore year, you couldn't wait to be a junior. junior year, you couldn't wait to be a senior.)

anyway.....it's very weird dreaming about school so much.

I called it quits with Steve

I'm trying to be optimistic about this time. Deep down, I'm not sure if I can keep my resolve. I'm hoping ::crossing fingers:: that the insight I had the other day will help me leave.

I talked to him tonite, and he was like "oh yeah, she's being all nice and sweet...blah blah blah. I told him I thought it sounded like smoke and mirrors. He said, "what do you mean?" I was like, It sounds like bullshit" He was like "oh no, I don't. I want this to be amiable. The less chaos the better." Huh????

I made the decision, I don't want to wait around forever for the situation to resolve itself. He's not going to get off his duff. Which means that I have to....and go on with my life.

So, I wash my hands of the whole thing. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.
