tarnishedhalo777 -> domme/sub (8/11/2005 11:56:18 AM)
who is it hardest on when the breakup occurs? B/c I could walk away from anyone before but I am having a hard time now.I said play instead of the total breakup that he requested only b/c I still want him in my life.He was agreeable to that as he feels he is not ready for a relationship at this time. Should I just move on?

I had a little difficulty understanding your question, but it sounds like - - you had a relationship with someone - you developed strong feelings for the other person, and this is unusal for you - issues in the relationship developed (what issues, what is the situation?) - he wants to break it off - you want to continue the relationship, but he doesn't want to - you are willing to just "play" or be intimate, but not classify it as a "relationship" - you are looking for advice on what to do Am I interpreting this correctly? If so, erm. Thats always a terribly sticky situation. These are personal emotional issues that you should work out before bringing BDSM into the picture. Everyone's situation and relationship is different. so I can't speak for everyone. But a lot of times, trying to repair a relationship that has ended is often more trouble than its worth - and no matter how much you crave them, once you are together with the person again, you usually remember why you broke up in the first place. It sounds like his feeling for you have waned signifigantly, so I would reccomend spending some time apart before trying to be intimate again, or trying to rebuild a friendship. Being around him like this might just be really painful for you, as you watch him with other people, or are around him knowing he just doesn't feel the same way anymore. Breaking it off is usually the healthiest thing to do, for everyone's sanity involved. That way, you don't get resentful of him, and he doesnt get aggravated with you. In the end though, you have to do what you think is best for you. -S-

We both also realise that it is the best thing for us to do and we will let each other heal without drama. - LA

Who is it hardest on, I think that is a very individual thing, and what the circumstances are. I have found it easiest after one of us in the relationship has states they want out, to make a complete break. Take time to heal while also preparing to move forward. When the time is right and you are secure inside once again, a friendship is always possible. To try and hang on through "play" may cause the relationship to deteriorate further, with no chance of mending, taking into concideration You are the one having a hard time with this. It can be really difficult, but I would break off completly with no contact at all and turn my face forward to tomorrow, don't you think you deserve to be with someone who can give you more? I do!, Good Luck! Brightspot Sorry to hear that news LA, hope you're okay[;)]*

To try and hang on through "play" may cause the relationship to deteriorate further, with no chance of mending *Brightspot I agree completely that a clean/complete break is best until the emotions are worked out and everyone is more balanced. Playing when you heart wants/needs more simply complicates things and prolongs the arrival to the inevitable. In my opinion, the longer one dwells on unrequited love the more painful and difficult it becomes to imagine living with self and maybe loving another.. M

Thank You all for your support. I knew in my heart to walk away w/ my head held high is what's best for me... I just needed to hear it. I know I can't watch him be w./ others,that's why I came to this site. I will loose my self-respect if I continue to see him for play b/c I know I'm settling. Nor will i play second fiddle or share! I love him but Yes it is time to move on. He had left me once before,and came back but he wasn't looking for others at that time.so its a wee bit different now. Thank you again ((((( 4 yall))))

LadyAngelika -> RE: domme/sub (8/12/2005 6:21:12 AM)
Thanks to all for the warm thoughts. I am truly doing ok. We ended things in such a way that after some time has passed, we will be able to to have a friendship. That is important to me. He is truly a wonderful boy and I do still love him deeply. It's just that after almost a year of being together, when we both looked ahead to our future together and we realised that we had a very different vision of what we wanted to happen and unfortunately, they were not very compatible with one another. I think to reduce the pain and drama in a break-up, it is important to do it honourably, remembering all the good times you've shared and what you've learned from one another and not letting the fact that you've chosen different paths taint the beauty of what once was. I believe I was truly blessed by what he and I shared and as much as it hurts to let him go, I have absolutely no regrets of the time I spent with him. tarnishedhalo777, much like you, it was important for me to walk away with my head held high, not only for myself but to set an example for my boy as he has a history of incredibly dramatic breakups. I think as we get older and wiser, we handle these moments with so much more grace. And of course we count on our girlfriends for the wine and chocolate afterwards!! - LA

nella -> RE: domme/sub (8/12/2005 6:36:08 AM)
i am sorry to hear aboute your brakeup. i wish you the best. As for who a brakeup is hardest on, i think that deptends more on peronality, the type of relationship, and things like that alot more than orientation.

A positive attitude helps recovery. Oumae

I'm sorry for your loss. Hugs and would hand you a box of Godiva if I were close. M

I called him this morning and told him of my decision,unfortunately,it went straight to voicemail as his phone was not yet on.I composed a letter today at work to send him regarding my reasoning why I just cannot do casual play after a commited relationship at this time.it hurts but maybe now he won't feel so bad about hurting me.

tarnishedhalo777 -> RE: domme/sub (8/12/2005 3:06:45 PM)
Sorry to hear about yours ( ). I just sent my goodbye/thank you email and damn it hurts. he just doesnt want to feel the feelings he is feeling for me.He is going thro a difficult divorce and isnt ready for a relationship right now. I do believe he cared and he did try for awhile to be committed to me. I feel bad i sent it in an email but w/ him in different states,it makes it difficult to get together to just talk. I just didnt know how to go to just playing right now. I cant do the redefining us knowing he is actively looking on another site. thanks y'all for your help and support.I'm glad I came here.
