ORIGINAL: julietsierra To the OP: I have children. I am raising them in a certain way. To have someone move in here would mean that by virtue of another adult being in the house, his concerns, as well as his child-rearing techniques and beliefs would have to be considered and respected. My children have a father. They don't need another one. In addition to that, just because I choose to live my life in a certain way does not mean my children do and I want them to have the right to grow up developing their own beliefs. So, I don't live with my Master. He knows all the kids but has very little contact with them. This is how I wanted it. Anything more and I'd have had issues. We've been together now for five years and it's only now that I'm thinking that this relationship may turn out to be very long term. However, prior to this, I wasn't sure, and if there's one thing I don't want is a revolving door of men for my kids to learn to like and respect, only to lose them again. On top of all this is the fact that when I was married, for the last five years of my marriage, I lived as a prisoner in my own house. Never again. This house is my safe place. Very few people get invited over. Even fewer get more than one invite. My Master wasn't here for the first three months of our relationship. After that, it took another year before he was invited back into this house. Nothing wrong, just not necessary. I don't intend on marrying. I don't intend on living with someone. I don't intend on making this house anyone's home away from home. So, I don't live with my Master. Never will. We're happy. We're intimate. This is the closest relationship I've ever had in my life - including the good years of my marriage, But we will not be living together. And just because you think it's odd, doesn't mean it's wrong. It just means it's not right for you. juliet edited to add that this was not inresponse to you adoracat. It's just another instance of posting at the bottom of the screen. no worries. *smiles* i absolutely can understand where you're coming from. in some ways it reminds me of the relationship my MIL had with her long term boyfriend...they loved each other since she was 13...they both married others (he was 20 years older than she was), got divorced, but they never married, they never lived together...i think they would have killed one another if they had tried to. that didnt make them any less in love, or any less devoted to one another. obviously that's the same way you and your Master are, juliet. there is great devotion, just need for separate spaces. and there is nothing wrong with that, either. kitten
