Vanessa Yes,but if you've already been punished,it wouldn't help much...
It will probably help me next time.
If I argue, I am in trouble, no matter if he is wrong. I have to accept wrong decisions, too. It's not on me to choose what is right or wrong.
Vanessa So,even if you get an unfair punishment,you consider it as if it was not important?
Yes, even if it was an unfair punishment. I accept that he is not perfect. I accept that he will make mistakes. I accept to get an unfair punishment from time to time, because otherwise he couldn't be really in charge. I would not accept regular unfair punishments, but this only happens very, very rarely. So I accept it as necessary part of the relationship and I am not angry on him when it happens. As I said, he is not perfect and makes mistakes.
Vanessa Can't it affect how you felt about the rules and reasons to be punished?In my case,if I would get punished even if I haven't did anything wrong,I would have troubles to respect my rules,knowing I may be punished even if I do it...
It's very important, that we talk about it later. We talk until our feelings and points of view are clear to eachother. Not with the goal to let someone win s discussion, but to handle it better, next time.
Vanessa But is he skilled to know what is important for you in the long run?
He is skilled enough to understand that he needs to know what is important in the long run. Talking is the key, talking, talking, talking and acceptance that mistakes will happen. A mistake that will be corrected and not repeated is not a problem.
Vanessa What about major steps?Being pregnant,moving to you own house,etc...?
We talk about it, the more important, the more often we talk about it. But on the other hand, the closer our relationship is, the less often I have a saying.
He has more and more control over important things, like the decision that I will not work in my job after my apprenticeship. He also told me that I will not see our first apartment that we will rent together, before we move in, to prove how I handle such a situation.
