Oour relationship involves my Mistress restricting my spending and financial obligations and supervising my budget and bills but it's for my benefit, not Hers, to better myself and my financial situation, which, of course, ultimately benefits Uus as a couple because Wwe are able to do more things when i'm not broke all the time. The type of financial Dominance some people are describing here sounds sketchy and potentially dangerous. Most responsible Dominants and Masters i know hold that financial dependence in either direction is risky at best and irresponsible at worst and taking a submissive's money and not using it to the submissive's benefit or household/family benefit would be highly suspect and very irresponsible and possibly outright neglectful. Of course, it's all about trust and personal limits. If the finances of the people involved allow for it and they're both ok with it, and both respect the rules and limitations and so forth and have absolute trust in one another and it makes them happy, then great. i think keeping the other person's safety and security, in this case, their financial security counts, and keeping your partner's best interests in mind at all times is paramount in any relationship. Personally, money isn't something to play with and when setting up my Mistress's involvement in my finances things were handled VERY carefully.
