Help - emotional blackmail?

[moptop]

Thank you all. I think I am just about ready to broach this with him now. I am grateful to have received some varied points of view, but a couple of common themes run through them.

I will try to help us build our trust and an open communication, just as I will continue to try to do what he wants of me. If I can show myself trusting, trustworthy and open, then his own uncertainty and lack of confidence should start to diminish, I think.

Once again, thank you all.

One more possible point for you, perhaps you could discuss with him that since your time together is so limited, terminating a conversation, should not be used as a punishment. He may be more amenable to listening if you call it a punishment rather than blackmail. When he is trying to push your limits he can use some other more acceptable "punishment" to create a dilemma for you. Open the shutters or forgo any orgasms that day. He would probably achieve the same result without halting the development of your relationship - for your relationship cannot grow if you don't have contact with each other.
