Rose, my goal is absolutely *not* to question the commitment, devotion, or love inherent in your relationship. Yes, you are "taking it wrong". I'll try again to explain.lil_slave_rose said:i don't know maybe i'm taking it wrong and you're talking to those 'online couples' who will ONLY be an online couple forever, but i know for Master and i, that is not the case, and we have met, spent a week together, watching each other interact with those around us.
I am talking about an hypothetical woman who is involved with an online Dom whom she has never met. She desperately wants for the relationship to thrive, to be his one and only, to meet in the physical world, etc., but none of these things have happened yet.
Maybe he sent her a picture. How does she know it is really him?
Maybe she saw him on webcam. How does she know whether he only turns on the webcam when his wife is asleep or at PTA meetings?
He says he has a steady job at XYZ Corporation. How does she know if this is true?
These are the types of questions that I am asking. This is why I asked you, ChromeCollar, Wench, and others for suggestions on smelling out rats in the virtual world.
At the beginning of a relationship, there is a *huge* difference in the opportunities for gathering information in the online vs. physical world, long before anybody has their heart set on romantic visions of life with anybody else.
If you have spoken to his sister, mother, step father, and brothers, and spent a week with him in the physical world, then you are absolutely *not* the type of woman to whom I am referring with this hypothetical.
I am talking about an hypothetical woman who devotes herself, heart and soul, to a person she has never met or possibly never even seen.
