K-9: P.I. (2002) IMDB rating: 5.20 Plot: San Diego police detective Mike Dooley has retired from the force, but on the way home from his retirement party, he and his police dog, Jerry Lee, come across a robbery at an electronics lab, in which four valuable prototype computer chips are stolen. When Dooley and Jerry Lee try to stop the robbery, they are slowed down by the FBI, who draw their guns on Dooley. In chasing the thieves, Jerry Lee has swallowed one of the chips, and the other three won’t work without it. In the eyes of the FBI, Dooley becomes a suspect just because he was on the scene at the time of the heist, and his pension is frozen until the case is solved. Since Dooley’s pension is frozen, he decides to breed Jerry Lee for some quick cash to start a private investigation business. Unfortunately, Jerry Lee’s a big slob who farts a lot, and so he has trouble with the higher-brow dog fanciers. But after a successful night of breeding, Dooley gets paid, and winds up with a crush on Catherine Coleman, the female dog’s owner. Jerry Lee gets “morning after” regrets. After a trip to the vet, Jerry Lee passes the computer chip. Dooley cleans the chip and stuffs the chip into the locket on Jerry Lee’s dog collar. Dooley gets his P.I. license and advertises his services in the paper. The first person to call him is Laura Fields, who wants Dooley to help her find her lost fiance. Little do Dooley and Jerry Lee know that all roads in this investigation will lead back to the heist. Dooley has to deal with the FBI, which is tailing him to see how he was involved with the theft in the first place. He also has to deal with his ex-captain and his former colleagues, who all seem to think he’s crazy. As it turns out, Laura is the mastermind behind the theft, and she hired Dooley so she can get her hands on the chip that Jerry Lee has. Can Dooley and Jerry Lee stop Laura before she can get her hands on the chip?

I feel like crap when he is away?
I love being with my husband, all the time. You can say im needy, he goes away for work alot im happy then when he is gone im so depressed, i dont even feel to go out with friends. But i think im too needy of him. like last week he said he had to do something at work and go to a friends to drop some stuff off, i wanted to spend the weekend with him an do something, anywho i called him he is in the city with 3 male friends, they had a friend visiting our city and he said we went to the city because this man wanted to see the city and harbour etc we took him to luna park etc..i was so mad at him. I yelled and said you chose them over me? you rather go with them then your wife? He was upset at me and wanted to come home, then i felt bad. I think im awful and he needs space?

---

Your marriage will END if you don’t address your neediness. This is a problem. You need to either get friends of your own to spend time with, counseling, or both. I’ve been with "you", and it drained me. Once you take care of you, then you can address the time you spend together. It may be that one of your "love languages" is Time, but you are still pushing him away by your actions.
Kip | Jan 30, 2010

---

Every man needs a bit of space to spend time with his friends. I think you just need him more than he thinks you need him, which is why he didn’t invite you from the very beginning. It’s not his fault that he didn’t realize you wanted to be with him…it’s just a matter of the two of you coming to a resolution about it. That comes with time. I don’t think he was doing it to hurt your feelings.

Tender Mercies (1983) IMDB rating: 7.40 Plot: Alchoholic former country singer Mac Sledge makes friends with a young widow and her son. The friendship enables him to find inspiration to resume his career.

Actors: Duvall Robert,Brimley Wilford,Hubbard Allan,von Dohlen Lenny,Gleason Paul,Crabtree Michael,Bennett Norman,Hollon Andrew Scott,Murray Rick,Funchess Stephen,Fleming Glen,Aaron James,Drama,

Would you leave him or just have a talk with him if this happened to you?
So I’m kinda stupid, and this whole situation is kinda my fault.
I told my boyfriend that I’ve always thought it’d be exciting to be spanked by a guy, and he said he’d give me a spanking if I thought it’d be beneficial.

Problem is he hit me far harder than I could handle and basically held me down and refused to stop until I had tears in my eyes. I did tell him to quit, but he thought I was playing a game…like the whole being punished and begging for mercy thing. So he continued.

He’s got a lot of arm strength from lifting weights, so it was easy for him to underestimate his strength I guess, I don’t know.

All I do know is this was last night, and (sorry to be awkward), my butt’s really like tender to the touch…it feels like there’s internal bruising or something. It’s embarrassing, but it literally hurts SO bad.

I told him once he stopped that I was totally serious about telling him to let me go, and he did apologize and said I could kick him in his balls if I wanted.

So he is remorseful, but now I’m kinda scared of him. It was terrifying to see the amount of force he was capable of exerting on me.

Should I just break up with him? It wasn’t his fault, but now I have a fear that one day he’ll do it purposefully. Idk if that’s an irrational fear or not. :/

---

It is usual to make rules first. If you call mercy he should stop, if not dump him. He will only vent his violent nature on you.

Brit Tit | Dec 18, 2009

Sounds like he was definitely an a*s-s*hole about it even if you did ask - he didn’t have to go all Rambo on your butt.

NEXT time you try something like this with someone, use a "safe" word, and discuss it ahead of time. That way, if you want them to know you are actually serious about your protestations, you say that word. Otherwise, they may be well within their right to believe it’s all part of your role playing.

ole max. | Dec 18, 2009

Generally, from what I have heard, most people who play rough games will use a safety word. If the one that is doing the play violence (or true violence in this case) hears the word, they know it means STOP! It can be too much. I think you should discuss this with him and try to communicate how you feel. I would imagine at some point he must have known that you were serious and he must have truly been enjoying this. Normally, something this new to the relationship would start out much more gentle. I would think he might have done this before… Be cautious, it sounds a bit odd on his part…
Alien | Dec 18, 2009

you shouldnt break up with him. you brought this on yourself. just have a talk with him. and then if anything like this ever happens agian dont give him another chance.
Landy | Dec 18, 2009

Create a safe word and move on. I won’t break up with him over this.
Thumbs Up Fairy | Dec 18, 2009

---

So this is progression from seeing him naked I guess.
Shalimar the Clown | Dec 18, 2009

---

I would drop him like a Tiger Woods sponsor….. and it was his fault… he could have stopped… or not been so forceful… it was role play not beat the crap out of your back end……

just because you asked him to do it doesn’t excuse him abusive behavior… you also asked, begged him to stop….
Twinkie Thief | Dec 18, 2009

---

This is a VERY delicate situation. Your fears are rational and justified. Being hit repeatedly by someone you care about, even after you told him to stop, will certainly leave you in a very untrusting place for awhile.

However, I think you were delving into a territory neither of you were experienced enough in to properly handle. You didn’t have a safety word. A word you say so he knows you aren’t joking and needs to back off. Otherwise, it’s a very legitimate response for him to keep going, because he probably thought he was pleasuring you. Many people do like to be beaten while begging for the other person to stop. He was apologetic and is probably a bit unsettled himself by the experience because he thought it was the game you wanted to play.

Now, that doesn’t mean "forgive him, he didn’t mean it", but neither am I saying you should leave him. The trust has been shaken, and I think you both need to take a step back from each other for a little while. I don’t know if you live together, but maybe not sleep in the same bed for a few days, go on some nice romantic dates out of the house, with physical boundaries between the two of you and start to rebuild the trust and emotional connection you had before. You’re scared and hurting (legitimately so). It would be a very traumatizing experience. Take a breather from everything sexual. Keep communicating and really express how much this scared you. If he loves you, he’ll respect a break from any sexual acts and understand why the trust needs to be rebuilt.
lexyn_sphere | Dec 18, 2009

lol crazy but i guess, ok is there a reason for you to think he will do that to you again and mean it next time , like when are you going to tell him about you and his brother, even if they look alike you still have to tell him what if your not having his baby and its his brothers baby, ,, my guess is go to jerry and have him help you out,

Is is wrong that I get totally turned on by sending my husband to the strip club to reap the benefits after?
There is just something that really gets me hot when I send him to get a lap dance. I end up waiting at home just ready to pounce when he gets back. I like the fact that we’re open sexually, just been hearing other friends talking about how wrong it is for married men to get lap dances. Made me wonder if I’m a freak?!

---

I don’t think it’s that unusual. My neighbor bought her husband a lap dance for his birthday. Personally I’d rather not have some girl rubbing on my husband but to each his/her own.

Hey, different strokes for different folks. It’s not for me, but if you and your husband are both okay with it, then there’s nothing really wrong.

Wow. Well, that’s something you don’t hear everyday! What if he doesn’t go back home to satisfy his cravings? Would you feel bad about it?

By the way, does being :"open sexually" include having sex with other people?

No, you are not a freak… And indeed you are different from other girls.. but hey, you have your own way of spicing up your *** life so what is wrong with it? So if both of you are having a great time after he come back from the club, then there is nth wrong with it. Both of you are open about it, and if this makes your marriage happy and healthy, then don’t follow what others say… follow your heart… The fact that you allowed him to go there without you, it does show how much you trust him.. and that is good…

Can someone please read this and explain to me what it means?
I know it’s long, but it would really help me out if anyone could just please explain what it means. I’ve tried so many times and I just don’t understand.

Part I

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road runs by
To many-towered Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.

By the margin, willow-veiled,
Slide the heavy barges trailed
By slow horses; and unhailed
The shallop flitteth silken-sailed
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?

Only reapers, reaping early
In among the bearded barley,
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly,
Down to towered Camelot:
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers "’Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott."

Part II

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

And moving through a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot:
There the river eddy whirls,
And there the surly village-churls,
And the red cloaks of market girls,
Pass onward from Shalott.

Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd-lad,
Or long-haired page in crimson clad,
Goes by to towered Camelot;
And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two:
She hath no loyal knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror’s magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed;
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady of Shalott.

Part III

A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley-sheaves,
The sun came dazzling through the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneeled
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.

The gemmy bridle glittered free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazoned baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armour rung,
Beside remote Shalott.

All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewelled shone the saddle-leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burned like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.
As often through the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, trailing light,
Moves over still Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glowed;
On burnished hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flowed
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flashed into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

Part IV

In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining,
Heavily the low sky raining
Over towered Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And round about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.

And down the river’s dim expanse,
Like some bold seer in a trance
Seeing all his own mischance,
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right -
The leaves upon her falling light -
Through the noises of the night
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slo

---

The first four stanzas describe a pastoral setting. The Lady of Shalott lives in an island castle in a river which flows to Camelot, but little is known about her by the local farmers.

Stanzas five to eight describe the lady’s life. She has been cursed, and so she must constantly weave a magic web without looking directly out at the world. Instead, she looks into a mirror which reflects the busy road and the people of Camelot which pass by her island.

Stanzas nine to twelve describe "bold Sir Lancelot" as he rides past, and is seen by the lady.

The remaining seven stanzas describe the effect of seeing Lancelot on the lady; she stops weaving and looks out her window toward Camelot, bringing about the curse.

She leaves her tower, finds a boat upon which she writes her name, and floats down the river to Camelot. She dies before arriving at the palace, and among the knights and ladies who see her is Lancelot and he thinks she is beautiful.

Thanks for the nice read. Please google Tennyson’s Lady of Shallot for the entire story and analysis. Wickipedia has a good one. Luck.

I’m not sure whether it’s about a missing woman or a female statue, or something else. Maybe a female carving on the front of a wooden ship. But I did enjoy reading the whole poem.

Why Do Japanese Women Associate Sex With furthering A Relationship?
This is the best I could do as my last post was twice this so give me a break. It’s the only way I could explain my question so bare with me. I will try to simplify it somewhat. Anyone who had ever lived or been in Japan for any period of time knows this all to well. When it comes to a date you pretty much have to have the entire night planned in advance. Even in the unlikely event of her actually staying at your place this needs to be considered as well. This is just to protect yourself for her criticizing you later for not mentioning it. Anyways to make a incredibly complicated story short. You and you girlfriend go out on a date. You take her to dinner, movie, or whatever. You do this without every saying a word or have any doubt of what to do next. This might sound stupid but in a Japanese women’s eyes it is seen as a sign of weakness and makes her feel unsafe. She expects you to be the leader and to show confidence in yourserlf as she then can have conifidence in you. Yea I know sounds stupid but that is just the way it is.

Any hesitation make her uneasy as the focus now shifts to her to make the decision. I don’t expect most people to understand this unless you have experienced it yourself. Anyways I offer her a cab after all is done and she agrees. Although upon getting to the taxi station she just stands there, looking stupid and then continues walking with you. Ok, that was a bit strange. This happens a couple other times and then you offer her to stay at your place as this game is getting annoying. She agrees but says there will be no sex! Of coarse not I wouldn’t think of it. We arrive at my place have a nice relaxing evening or so I thought. I was getting tired and turned in early. Later that night I wake up to find her packing her bags. What’s wrong I ask? She says I am sorry and walks out the door. I don’t hear back from her for like several weeks and then finally get an answer. She basically said that why would I have come home with you as what would have been the point? WTF I am the one that offered her the damn taxi in the first place. She after all said there would be no sex! In her mind what she said and what she was thinking were two different things.

She believed that since we didn’t have sex that I didn’t like her or thought she was unattractive. That I wasn’t interested in her and so she left. You guys can laugh all you want but those who know this happens all to often. A Japanese women has to seek approval from everyone else except herself. It is as if she needs justification from someone else to confirm her feelings. It sounds weird I know. Instead of sex as being the end result of a courtship in Marriage in most cases. Japanese women at least in the traditional since believe it as a only means of taking the relationship to the next level? Although I was under my impression that Japanese society frowned upon sex before marriage. Although this seems to be more among the order generation I guess.
Regardless though why is this so important to Japanese women and why can’t they just express what they are feeling inside? I really need an insiders advise on this as I don’t expect most people are going to understand what I am taking about here.

They aren’t the only ones who think this way.

I guess…..

You turning in early might not have helped with the self esteem thing (especially since, as you put it, she looks to others for approval). I don’t know what went on before you turned in, but if you stood/sat around your house awkwardly chit-chatted and then went to bed, it’s hardly a stellar end to a wonderful evening. Even if she didn’t want full on sex, she probably wanted to know that you wanted it. Wanted to feel desired, to have had the option of saying no, not tonight. I know there are a lot of cultural barriers and differences and stuff, but it’s not just Japanese women, what’s that phrase? It a woman’s prerogative to change her mind? Something like that. She probably didn’t even know what she wanted, but somehow what happened that night wasn’t it.

Also, if, as you say, women want men to be the natural leader and you have to have an entire night planned out as you suggested, you should’ve had this possibility considered. If she didn’t want to go back to yours; a respectful kiss and putting her into a taxi would do. If she did and wanted sex; Yay! If she did and didn’t want sex; planning something romantic and seductive, or having a dvd and a bottle of wine/sake/tea/whatever the popular choice in Japan is ready and going for some kissin’ and cuddles and maybe more.

Though it all is trial and error….

all i can say is, go with the flow. you were too uptight during the date and missed the signals. the first one, obviously, is that the girl is interested in you. otherwise she wont even accept the date with you. i assume you never went through the formal japanese dating procedure where you declare you liking for her with the intention to date her and asked her to be your gf and that she agreed.

then you arrange a date, which is nice and right. but after the date is over, what next? you offered her a cab home???? 2 adults, and that’s it? the content of the conversation and body language of the date is missing here so i cannot tell if you missed all the signals or you just dont have confidence. or maybe you’re underaged, izzit? then this advice stops here!
