Taking a Break From MC

[thumper]

For Belle, "taking a break" means only that I get to come out of a device. She still expects me to only orgasm with her permission. Apparently, we're not ever going to "take a break" from that.

I agree with Tom. Look at your break as a chance to recharge and maybe even discover something new to try.

Due to a long term medical issue as a result of my vasectomy... I have been uncaged for some weeks. It is not a failure to take a break, life is there and circumstances will always change. Hope your medical issues resolve asap.

We took a break for various reasons and now we're back to it. Feels like the first time again, except I know what I'm doing now.

Certainly no failure in taking time off and helps one to refocus when you get started again.

We took a 'break' for 4 months last year when Mrs. T was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. We were just so bummed out that nearly everything else seemed insignificant, we certainly were in no mood for fun & games. When non-surgical options failed and the condition progressed she went under the knife. When the doctors expressed confidence that they were successful (it will be a few years before we can be sure), and after she healed, we picked up where we left off. Sometimes, some shit just gets in the way and you have to focus on that for a while.

Glad to see you back.

Thanks for all the replies. I certainly agree that taking a break from MC is not failure and can sometimes improve things. What I worry about most is how difficult it is to read her state of mind when she is not very communicative of her feelings. I worry about doing or saying the wrong thing and I am not very good at communicating my feelings at times. I can't explain it. Things just come out wrong sometimes. Bottom line, I'm afraid she will misread things and MC won't start again. I'm probably just worrying about nothing.

Thanks! It's good to be back in my CB6Ks and to share online fellowship with my locked up brothers.

Well, so much for a break. My KH/Spouse walked in last evening and said she was feeling better and thought I needed to lock up again right away. No explanation why, none. I immediately complied. She left me locked all day yesterday, even when we were away from home, which was a surprise and not her usual MO. Another change today, she has taken the 2 keys to my device and split them up. She put one in her purse and hid the other. Again, no explanation. I worked all day cleaning house per her orders. Also, went through all my old stuff for a load to donate to the thrift store. None of the usual please and would I mind doing this or that, it was an order, not a request. She was happy with what we accomplished today, but no unlocking. Think I'm seeing a bit of a change in our D/s relationship and our MC dynamic in that I may not get a few hours free during the day as I have in the past when we go somewhere together in the car. This is what I want and who I am, but it still gives one pause when things change. However, I'm glad to be locked up again. We'll see what happens next.

I enjoy the little changes that I see in my gf as well. It makes it interesting to see them little things that I never thought she'd do. They're all baby steps but so fun to watch.

This thread comes at a good time; my wife and I decided to take a break from me being locked up for the month of October. I was a little concerned about getting back into my cage after being out of it for a month; but no one in this thread indicated that was a problem.
