ORIGINAL: slavejali I hope I word this ok and get the meaning across...here goes... Background to question: I used to live a very hedonistic lifestyle, full of *things* and personal pleasures. At some point in my life, I realised there was a hole, that couldnt be filled and I set about finding what it was that could fill it. I realised through the process of it all, that happiness was an internal fixture and nothing outside was really that substantial. I came to this through an extreme action, a thing I do, I'm extreme (probably my scorp)..i gave up me hedonistic lifestyle to an extreme level, I gave up everything. So I lived a very simple life for quite some time...Master met me....and has slowly been introducing *things* in life again....my lifestyle has changed again dramatically...through Masters influence. This change has not come without personal dilemma's, not really great big dilemma's but I am very aware of a process going on. I ask myself "How do I feel about that big huge plasma tv sitting in the living room?" "How do I feel about that car that I really love?" Am I allowed to like those things? Am I being trapped in pleasures again? When we go on vacation, its just to enjoy ourselves and not because I'm attending something functional...I hadnt actually listened to anything but classical music for years before Master introduced me to modern music again.....it felt strange and like I was entering a new world ...but a world that reminded me of my past....and the association with my past wasn't a good thing.... Yet, I loved Master and I trusted him, the one thing you can trust is love, real love, so everytime I felt a twinge of connecting the products of my new relationship with my past I dismissed it and relaxed a little more. I submitted to him. Iv'e come to a new realisation now, a really grounded one, its not about whether you have things or not, its whether you put them in their correct place and dont become reliant on having or not having.... Anyways..thats the background and I really want Master to read this before he heads off to work..so Ive gotta press post...but... the question is.. Has your partner, dominant or submissive, really brought lifestyle changes to you(it doesnt have to be in the same way as mine ..just any lifestyle changes)...and how have you processed that...what have been your realisations..how did you handle it from your perspective of being dominant or submissive? Ugh... Yes Sir introduced me to a major lifestyle change when we got together(although I fought the change for 4 years). A bit of background too....Back in '94 my first husband passed away, leaving me with two kids, a house, a new car and a used car, and three life insurance checks. One check paid off the house, one check paid off the new car. I sold the used car and the other insurance check went into the bank. Well let's just say that if not invested properly, $100,000+ doesn't go very far. My girls and I shopped 4 times a week, I became a QVC junkie (spending almost 10 grand on jewelry and junk). When Sir came into my life in '97, the money was almost gone. I only had about 10,000 left. And I spent continuously until the money was gone. Sir then sat me down to put me and the household on a budget....ME ON A BUDGET, no way.......For 4 years I balked at being "budgeted", and then Sir and I separated for a while, and the wild spending returned (I was working a good job and had survivor bennies coming in for my two older girls). Then Sir and I reconciled and I lost my job....back to budgeting YUCK....Things got tougher after that, but Sir was strict that I stay on our budget, and to this day I have not deviated from our budget. I have forgone things I want for things that WE NEED. All I need to be happy is right in front of me...Him, our two girls, and my two older girls...Now don't get me wrong, we still play the lottery each week, and dream of all we will do and buy if we win (but doesn't everybody). We could live in a tent, a cabin with no electricity (running water a must), anywhere as long as we have each other, we are happy....Money is just that money, and yes is needed sadly in today's society to survive. If only we could go back to the days of trading services (i.e. carpentry, babysitting, ect) or bartering for the things we need.
