Online chastity and self locking discussion

I’m having a hard time with EmLaLock and I hope this doesn’t come off as too complainy. Recently, I agreed to a two-week arrangement from someone I knew somewhat on the site (we’d been assisting each other with requirement links—things were going well). The deal featured Photo Validation every 23 hours. I don’t have much background in Photo Validation & generally feel uneasy about “dick picks,” and we didn’t discuss this beforehand (which is entirely my fault). Anyway, for my initial photo validation — I inserted the code via the iPhone’s built-in edit tool (rather than adding a handwritten note inside the picture)—and also, the image was fairly zoomed in on the device. My Virtual Key Holder marked the submission as fake and blurry, noting it failed to show both the lock and the full cage (which is accurate), put me into a two-week pillory, and blocked my access. I’m currently gaining roughly 10 extra days each day, can’t email or converse with my Virtual Key Holder & am VERY much thinking about ending this session. HOWEVER, my inner beta self feels that what happened to me is fair, that enduring 140 days in confinement isn’t such a huge burden (I’m now at day 39, which is the longest stretch I’ve ever done), and that there’s value in learning from this situation. could use some perspective, support, and optimism regarding this…any guidance would be appreciated…
