How hard is it to deal with a bad experience, or flakes, or other general disappointments? If you have a regular or regulars (I'm thinking Farmgirl here) I would guess this takes care of itself mostly. Since your husband isn't that much of a factor in controlling these things, how does he handle knowing you're dissatisfied? Do you always let him know if something wasn't good? I would imagine that I would jump up and try to solve everything while not being completely aware of all the nuances and be more of a pain than help. I'll hope to have to remember I said that. I have a feeling most of you dust yourself off and go again and take it in stride.
coastalkid,
I've never had a bad experience. Some times have been less than stellar, but none have been bad.
I does help that I have regulars, I asked them back because we click, and now I pretty much know what to expect. Though there are times things don't go to meet my idea. You know I see A pretty often, but a few weeks ago I told my Number1 that things weren't "right". A's behavior wasn't his normal fun self.
I told my Number1 all about it like I would tell my most trusted friend (he is BTW). Of course, being a man, he wanted to fix it

. But he has learned and matured and listened to me rant, waiting for me to finish before he offered any perspective.
I told him that I was going to give A one more chance.
When I went to see A a few days later, he was his old happy self. As he got undressed I discovered the reason for him acting moody and tacky. On his butt was the telltale bandage and marks of having T-pellets placed under the skin. Then it hit me, he was a little overdue for his T levels to be boosted. So, things still happen in regular longer-term relationships.
You could imagine how relieved and happy my Number1 was when I got home to tell him, He doesn't like it at all when I'm dissatisfied.

I always discuss everything with my Number1, that's why this works so well. We don't keep secrets, we have no need to. It's like we laugh about to each other (though there's a lot of truth), "if you can freely discuss your wife's lovers with you wife, and her with you, then you should be able to discuss anything at all".
BTW flakes are really annoying, another form of liers as far as I'm concerned.
