Blog Bonus Chapter - Q & A: Guilt
Dear
Ms. C.
I
absolutely adore your blog but I do have to ask. Do you ever feel
guilty for putting your sub through so much?
-Ms.
L.
Thank you, Ms. L. Guilt depends on a lot of things.
I have hurt my sub before. Hurt him badly. Hurt him by accident.
Hurt him without meaning to. Hurt him because of decisions I have
made. Yes, I feel terribly guilty for all of these things. I
agonize over them when they happen. Sometimes I have to take a drive
just so I can sit and cry. I talk to him about it. He always
forgives me. He trusts that the bad things happen when I am thinking
of the good of our relationship. I still feel bad, but I learn from
it. I do not make the same mistakes twice.
As for normal, ordinary things like punishing him, denying him
pleasure, or using him, I feel no guilt whatsoever. We both enjoy
this. We both love each other. He thrives on being pushed deeper
and deeper into submission. I love his willingness to bend and break
under me. It feels so right, why should I feel guilty?
It takes time to reach this state. It doesn’t happen overnight.
The loving bonds and trust must be grown organically and they cannot
be rushed.
END
Cass may be a creature of fiction, but her words on the matter of guilt are spot on. Yet another area that confuses the novice.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lady Grey.
