Status: offline 		i would like some advice on how to deal with insecurities and a long distance relationship.  Should it bother me that i am not allowed to call or text someone when i need to talk to Him?  To me, not being allowed to even text feels like He is hiding something.  How do i get past something like this should i ever be in a LD relationship again?

I personally would not be comfortable being in a relationship where the contact was soley one sided.

Find out if the terms of the relationship jive with what you can live with before committing.  Another bus will be along shortly.

wind.....oh believe me, He wasn't the first one, i have been in the lifestyle over 10 years.  i dated someone for a while that knew i was insecure and made it possible for me to get a hold of him any time i wanted to, just to prove there was no one else.  That was a good feeling :)

So ask him bluntly... and if you dont get an answer that settles your fears I would suggest you have a choice to make.

I'm in a semi-ld relationship but I'm allowed to text or call anytime. If he can't answer due to work or he's busy with other life stuff then he just makes sure to get back to me when he can.

If after his answers you're still uncomfortable with the situation you'll have to reevaluate the relationship and decide to either stay or leave.

Status: offline 		OP - It sounds like you *know* something isn't quite right, but you're finding excuses not to believe what your instincts are telling you.  You're unsure of yourself, so you accept poor treatment from someone and tell yourself that the problem is not in him, but within yourself (insecurities, etc).  And you don't want to ask for too much, so you accept what they will give you, even if it's the bare minimum.

I may be assuming a lot here from your short post, since there weren't many details, but...  from what you did say, I see some of myself in you, and I can imagine how you might feel.  Are you still in this LDR?

I go through this all the time!!!  Sucks huh?  I, too, usually blame my insecurities for the ending of things.  And in reality, that probably has a lot to do with it.  But here's a new idea (I'm still learning all this myself, lol, and it's a process) -- We think that if we could just control our insecurities, or at least not show them, that the guy would stay with us and give us more of his time, attention, affection, etc.  But these guys are usually a jerk in some way to begin with -- maybe married? -- and they are "with" us because we will accept the crumbs they throw out.  Soooo,  #1) If we had higher standards for what we want and need, and believed that we deserved it, the loser guy wouldn't be able to worm his way in in the first place, and  #2)  If he's already a jerk before we met him, he's still going to be a jerk no matter what you do or don't do... so it's not the insecurities that are chasing him off, but the fact that he's married or hiding something or whatever the case may be.

Soo, I think you and I need to work on raising our standards and feeling worthy of recieving what we need and want... and NOT stick around for the "crumbs". 

Easy to say, hard to do, lol.

Is any of that something you can relate to as well?

You had been talking to him for only two weeks?  I would be careful about considering that a "relationship."  In the vanilla world, that's barely "dating."  BDSM isn't much different.

If a woman wanted to text me 25 times a day, I might say, "No texting."  It costs me money, and I would want her to be independent yet submit to me anyway, instead of being unable to function emotionally without me.  Without knowing more about the situation, I can't say whether he might have something to hide.

In any case, it sounds as though you made this into a bigger deal than it really was, and now you are paying the emotional price.

Status: offline 		I have a friend who I adore. He and I once thought about becoming more than friends but the deal killer for me was he would not allow me to have his phone number. His reasons were known to me and although I understood his hesitancy it was still a deal breaker for me.

Edited to add: If you "broke it off this morning' why post this thread now?

I thought I had misunderstood, because you said you were not making anything bigger than it was.

So... two weeks.  May I ask how many hours you were in the same room during those two weeks?  How many hours you spent talking on the phone, or on IM?

Because, frankly, I'm doing the math here, and the amount of time just doesn't add up to "relationship."  You were "getting to know" someone, not "in a relationship" with someone.

You might want to slow down, next time around.  Relationshipping right out of the gate will freak a lot of guys out.  And, frankly, I think those guys have a point.
