How wrong can you be? (53)

You have a slave/sub/bottom (whatever).

You know with 100% certainty that she is totally devoted to you.

Your arrangment is that she text good morning and goodnight every day. If there is ever a problem, and it doesn't happen, an explanation gets sent as soon as practical. (EG Phone battery died.)

One day she texts good morning and a few other things during the day, which due to work committments you have no time to answer. Then your phone battery dies. So you dont get, or reply to the goodnight text.

The following morning, you text a good morning and explain about the battery.

By mid morning, you realise that she has not replied, nor has last nights goodnight come through.

You send a couple of texts. No reply.

You make a couple of phones calls to the mobile and landline, both are on answerphone.

By evening you are worried and you start to wonder why there is no reply.

At first, she is miffed with you because you didn't answer during the day. But you know she could not bring herself to ignore you.

You know she has elderly parents and something may have caused her to rush to them ........ but you know its a four hour journey and she would let you know.

You know she has a family member who has suffered a breakdown and has been writing "end it all" notes. maybe they have done somthing stupid and she is at the hospital .....but you know she would need to text and tell you.

Finally you arrive at the only logical reason why she would not communicate with you

She cant, she's dead. The member of her family with a breakdown has finally flipped and topped her and himself.

You wonder how long you can wait before you bring your thoughts to the police and get them to contact the local police in her area to check the house.

Then, an hour or two later, you get a one word text

Migraine!

Whoops. Isn't it strange how our minds work.

By giving them another migraine?!? That's a bit harsh!

Omnia vincit amor

Please excuse crap spelling cause i,m rubbish

In my case my boy was diagnosed with pneumonia and the hospital spit him out twice prematurely before finally, in his third spell they cured him well enough he was able to pick up life again.

I'm glad it worked out well for you. Don't punish her for your feelings toward her, cherish that she showed you how deeply you care.

Initially, if I understand it correctly, you couldn't reply to her texts for a whole day and night, right? I have to say that in my own case, it would not be acceptable that I had not managed even a single reply text through the whole course of the day and the evening.

There would be a very serious discussion about that, and a really, really good reason would be demanded. I'm not sure what the romantic/emotional status of your relationship is, but in my own case I see it the same as a man who would be expected to reply to his wife's texts- would 24 hours be considered acceptable to not get a reply to her messages?

Unless I was staying away from home AND had forgotten my phone charger, she'd expect me to charge it sometime during the evening, even if for long enough to send a quick text- or to borrow someone's phone, or get to a pay phone and make a quick call.

Because ours is also a bf/gf thing, it would be expected that at some point in those 24 hours, contact would be made. Off the top of my head, I can't honestly think of any reason that would stop me getting in touch. Your relationship may be different of course, but if my gf had not found a way to reply even once in the day or night, or to call, I would want an excuse that included a zombie apocalypse. I'm a very suspicious sort of chap I'll admit, but if this had happened to me, I would consider it to be a very odd coincidence that she had developed a migraine that prevented her responding for exactly the same time period that you failed to respond to her messages, and that this migraine had developed on the very next day to your own battery misfortunes.

But then if I were in her shoes, I would not accept the excuse of your flat battery in the first place. I would expect my partner to extract their SIM from their dead phone, and borrow a colleagues phone for a few minutes- or even buy a cheap phone for a tenner. Or switch off your phone before it goes totally flat, so you have enough juice left to get her phone number from your contacts list and make a call from a pay phone.

But I will admit, we do take that sort of thing quite seriously.

See....this is why I hate including texting and stuff in my D/s relationships...especially if you've no landline and cant actually call round on each other (different towns)....

Oh well.....it all gets a bit Shakespearian in the end..... Sigh

Oh Yes....and the sun will set for YOU.

Suspect you have not had a real migraine. It is totally debilitating, dark room and lay down job.

This post is my opinion, sorry if you don't agree with it or if it offends you in any way

Here are some small words for you to look at. Aren't they tiny!

The thread reminded me though of that viral phone message exchange where the boy didn't contact girl before he went abroad and just didn't take his phone away with him. Girl was desperate for contact. Her first few voicemails were where are you, and every day they got more and more extreme ending with - I am ending this relationship, you clearly do not want me etc etc.

In my view as I've contacted people from Iran and desert islands if you really want to be in touch you usually can and if you don't then you are just "not that into" her/him.
