ORIGINAL: breatheasone Not wanting to hijack another thread... If you are a person of the mindset "I don't share" Do you think insecurity plays any part in your desire to not share? I have not read the whole thread..so excuse me if this is a repeat..However, I do not view this as insecurity..I simply view it as a preference..a preference that will not be crossed in any way ,shape, or form..Take it or leave it.Insecurity says you feel threatened by the introduction of another..Preference says I know what I want and wish for someone who wants this as well....Tempting I agree Tempting. Candy, I also think it can be insecurity, level of trust, dynamics of the relationship and it depends on the person(s) involved. none of the above, all 4 , or a mix inbetween, including preference. I agree whole heartedly Harder to come by than a persons response to the questions of sharing..is an honest look into ones self for the true answer, and why ( yes she said the "true" word). I get that...and I feel I do know why I don't want to share...and I feel right in my heart and mind about it. For the record if I believe I am right about something HOLY SHIT I'll hold on to it like a starving pit bull with a bone! [:)] gigglin..yep personally..I have felt all 4 as well as confidence and acceptance.. at different times in my relationship and for varying reasons. Yep...sounds like being human..[:)] I have learned to never say never : ) ( well at least to him) Boy howdy do I know where you are coming from here. and I have learned alot about myself, because of that personal commitment to him and to myself. Yep....I can relate to this too. Right now, I will be honest to say that if a 3rd were to be brought in..it would cause me to feel insecurity. Its good you know that...only when you reconizes something can you deal with it We are temporarily across the country from one another, which has everything to do with my instinct that it would feel threatening to me, if it were to happen right now. But I know myself and I would most likely try to put those feelings aside and would support his desire to do that if it is what he wanted. I also know him well enough to know that he would only do it if he knew he could do it at the same time as protecting our relationship and trust.... See heres what i don't get...if sharing is all that great and ok and stuff. And if its good for the relationship...why isnt it good all the time....like communication is ALWAYS good for a relationship....honesty is ALWAYS good for a relationship....so if sharing is good, why is it NOT good all the time? well, first let me say> I didn't it was good laughing...well in my experience it was rough sometimes...but during my personal growth, even being totally honest ( with self) and communicating well was something that fluctuated...I would be dishonest to say I always said exactly what I was feeling it right when I was feeling it.......there was a period of time I had to learn to trust and share without analyzing or thinking about what I was about to say I was feeling....so even tho' always good > sometimes even honesty and communication is tempermental...so is the way we...oops or I think about and deal with having another person included our relationship...but don't misunderstand me> I'm not the person to talk to if you want me to convince someone that poly and sharing is the greatest thing since mixed nutz grinz. sometimes the nutz were terribly mixed up if truth be known...WHY does "a proper mindset" have to come in to play to make it ok? If he feels the need to "protect" the relationship...isnt that a red flag?...when I refer to Tyson protecting the relationship first and foremost> I mean that > he has the final decisions and authority....He can choose to do or not do anything He wants to ...but has wisely and explained completely to me that his decision always are made with our trust and my sense of security and trust in US and in him as a concern. Without the dynamic of total trust and sense of security, there is no submission..and there is no dominance ..and hence no Ds relationship. hope that made sense : ) but, there has been a time in our relationship where it was acceptable and consentual and felt right for us to explore. I have zero problems with exploring...but sharing TO ME is not exploring. sorry if that was tmi just my reaction to the other responses. I truly appreciate your perspective.... and hope you and your "D" type are together SOON Thanks I have tickets to Arizona for the holiday woohoooooooooooooooooooooooooo so excited thanks : ) for your well wishes and for your response.
