Rough Patches
Being a long term sub means understanding the old way and the new way. I get the feeling from what I've seen that some feel that you are either in or you're out, but I don't think this needs to be binary. I struggle often; hell I'm struggling this week but that doesn't mean I can't go from being out to being in. Likewise someone can leave and not be shamed for it, and come back and not be a fake sub. Because someone is struggling doesn't make every cry for help a bait post, although there are a lot of those too. Communication is important on both sides. Dommes if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Subs if you feel at ANY POINT you're needing to back out... communicate and do it instead of stringing her along and ghosting. Thanks for attending my TedTalk.
