I agree 100%. Communication is vital for any relationship to survive really. You need to be able to share your concerns and fears as well as all the good things you feel. Having said that it can be very hard at times to express yourself, especially if, like me, you are someone who keeps a lot of this close to your chest. I think it's a defence mechanism that is used to stop people getting too close and then hurting you more etc. I am currently trying to work on this myself as that can cause problems in its own right, which can only be solved by communication. So in answer to the op; what is a sub allowed to say; Anything as long as it's the truth. The 'health' of a relationship is the responsibility of all parties involved and it is up to both to discuss any problems that arise, especially as not all parties may recognise that the other is having a problem/ misread the problem etc. Life moves pretty fast, if you don't sit back once in a while you may miss it. | |

a) Yes Sir. b) No Sir. (But only under some circumstances) c) Three bags full Sir.
Combining past and present to make something not quite as good as either. | |

it annoys me how people think that reducing the levle of honest communication is necessary for a D/s relationship the reality is that there should be the ultimate level of honesty. that's probably why a lot of D/s relationships don't work; lack of honesty
so yeah, tell the truth innit | |

I believe in people being free to say what they like. I like people being open with me. It avoids all sorts of problems like the one you had where you didn't feel free to totally speak your mind. Okay so there will be consequences from speaking out, but they are rarely if ever as bad as those from *not* speaking. "Be quiet and come with me. I won't betray you." | |

You are within any relationship with almost no exceptions allowed to say anything, to anyone, at any time. You are also free to take the consequences afterwards. Sounds like you weren't sure, you let her know, she hit the road. Traditionally grovelling and begging are the ways to reverse this but there are no guarantees - particularly if she has someone else. Query would also be if she left so hard and fast did she have doubts too ? If you haven't tried yet contact her, tell her how you feel, and beg her to come back. If she's gone, gone lick your wounds, grow your balls back, and get back in the game. S....x. Empathy. The stuff women do for ages because they don't know how to solve the problem. Or just want to go on and on about it. | |
