Saintprudence That shows a great deal of insight and self-awareness. Well done.
I wish I could accept your praise, but that's normal for me. My impulsiveness will find a moment when my vigilance wavers, and then I'll notice hours or days later and attempt to run damage control.
For me, knowing is half the battle at best, and what you're praising was a necessary survival skill.
Angelina well i will try to put it very simply. i do not have to be submissive to wear a belt, but that does not mean that i wear the belt voluntarily. i do it for two reasons. out of fear of the consequences if i would not do it and out of respect for my father. In contrast to Sara (who was brought up to be submissive), I was brought up to be "controlling". I adopt many of my father's character traits, but that doesn't mean that I have to agree with him on everything
That's the "in the middle". Your views seem so familiar that I can't understand how you can respect him when I could not in your situation.
Angelina but it is not out of his control, that is the difference. whether it is immoral is something we can argue about (we have been doing that here in the forum since its existence)
You are female. That's outside of your control but you have extra restrictions placed on you because of it and I believe that's immoral.
Angelina so am i and i don't think you need to understand it completely. we explain our thought processes and you can draw your own conclusions 🙂
As long as we don't make each other too uncomfortable to keep learning or waste time talking in circles, I'm will be happy with that.
