XtreamMind -> RE: Married and submissive to another (1/25/2008 12:19:25 AM)

I've been reading this thread with real interest. I've been lurking this site for about a year now (check my profile) and I've never posted. This thread strikes so close to home. My wife is REALLY vanilla, which is a (sometimes unbearable ) strain on me. There are months when we are not intimate and it has gotten to the point where I simply don't make advances to her anymore. The catch is that I love her....deeply. She is the mother of my two incredible children, she is NOT my "soul mate", but she is the person I pledged to be with the rest of my life. The point I'm trying to make is that I come here and lurk, read, fantasize and wish, never actually doing anything because of the enormous potential damage it could inflict on my kids, and I do still hold a hope that there is a depth to my wife I haven't found yet. I don't feel I have the right to seek my own (selfish?) desires at the expense of my family. I'm sure this point of view will draw some flame here...so be it. But before you flame, glance back at LadyLoly's posts. And let there be no mistake, I AM a switch at the very core of my being. Taking that a step further, I'm not simply a guy whose looking over the fence thinking the grass is greener. I had D/s relationships before I got married, I believed I was marrying someone that was compatible. Rats, I rambled on all that to say this: In my case, I don't believe I could have a standing D/s relation "on the side", without my wife's knowledge, and even then it would be pretty complicated. The whole point of it for me was the DEPTH of knowing the other, the intensity of feeling what my sub was feeling and knowing her so well that I could lead her where she wanted to go, at times even when she didn't know it herself. It took a level of intimacy that demanded time and attention. I WOULD fall in love, there's no doubt...or get frustrated quickly. And yes...Its been years (many years) since I have been able to be "me", and if I could figure out how to seek my own desires without damaging my family.....I'd be on it like wax in pubic hair. So I lurk, and read.........
