Once a long time ago in Turkey a man asked my then bf if he hit me.
He said no.
The man asked why...
My BF said... because I love her and she would hit me twice as hard.

Tooooooooo Right
Not room for violence in any loving relationship and how dare anyone think it is justifiable.

Nor would I be subservient in pledging obedience. bollocks to that.
In a relationship I do things for love not obedience I am not a bloody dog.
