A slave friend of mine met up with a new Master recently. He seemed to understand him, things went well, he was respectful of him and seemed not to make assumptions or press too hard at first. But on their first morning after the night before a little thing got in the way. It was so small. It was only a display of affection rejected hurtfully. Both were stubborn and did not back down.
He knew that slaves are supposed to back down I suppose. But he didn't.
There was an email exchange to try to resolve it. In it he demanded him trust. He instructed him to trust him. Otherwise how could he be his Master?
He was right that he could not be his Master without there being trust. I mean, "Trust" is central to such relationships. Where I believe he was wrong was in believing that he could just demand it.
Real trust has to be earned over a long period. You cannot just demand that someone trust you and for that trust to be real rather than a pretense.
He could no longer trust him. So he is sensibly now getting to know a different Master.
