That was only part of the conversation. It was sort of a meta convo of about our relationship....anyway, it seems like you're not really responding to my post.

[–]babybelly 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

sounds like a clear win to me. feels like something is missing tho

[–]thelotusknyte[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

How do you mean? She said the last part with a smile on her face.

[–]babybelly 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

i think 2 scenarios can be interpreted into what she said:

  1. she is a hard to control person but you manly as you are are capable of doing so. control in a sense of taking charge, getting your will, make her shut up

  2. you wish

1st is more likely

[–]thelotusknyte[S] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Hmmm. Well that's disappointing a bit. However I don't feel like like I "enforce" my will on her. It feels like to me she never listens to me etc, so it was surprising to me that she felt like I put her in her place.

When I asked her what she meant she said that I don't let her get away with being unreasonable or illogical, for whatever that's worth.

[–]babybelly 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

don't let her get away with being unreasonable or illogical

this wording fits it better of course. when i wrote "control" i meant on any level(haha bad english). dont undervalue the ability to say no. it is definitively a trait of an alpha and many daddies have a hard time resisting their daughters for example

[–]thelotusknyte[S] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

It's funny that you say that. Sometimes I feel like we have a daddy-daughter relationship.

[–]babybelly 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

no idea how relationships work but you probably make her feel really safe. call me old fashioned but this is how i feel it should be

[–]thelotusknyte[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If that's all it was, I'd agree. I do make her feel safe, but along with that think about a rebellious teenager whose upset with her dad because he won't but her X thing or whatever.

[–]Sandkasten 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

So what is the problem? My impression is she likes it, that's why she smiled.

Guys please report low quality posts like this so we can clean the sub.

What are you talking about?

[–]Iupvoteforknowledge 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

This should be in /r/asktrp

[–]thelotusknyte[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Oops, ma bad. Didn't even know. Should I delete and repost or just remember for next time?

[–]Iupvoteforknowledge 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Mods already removed so just move it to asktrp if you really want some feedback.
