I have feelings for anyone I am in a relationship with, but the feelings are different. With my long term submissive partner there are shared emotions of romantic love, affection, respect, loyalty, and a general concern for everyday stresses, illnesses, and frustrations. With the secondary partner that I seek, I expect to share affection, respect, and loyalty (and a lot of fun, but that isn't an emotion). Additionally, I am a possessive person and would expect to feel that emotion with anyone I am in a commited relationship with. Although a secondary relationship does not necessarily include exclusivity (for myself or my partner), I would still expect to have some degree of control over my partner's choices as far as additional partners/playmates is concerned. If these expectations did not match, I would feel jealousy. I've found that emotional expectations are just as important to discuss as kinks, s/m limits, and any other relationship parameter. I've found several potentials that match me well, but we didn't match on the emotional expectations. I would definitely suggest making emotional expectations an important part of your negotiations.
