Many Doms say they are accepting, but when i get close and home circumstances are discussed.....which are tho divorced i still live with ex-husband because i have aggressive MS and apart from the fact he knows me and how to handle my temper and frustration and free (LOL)
When i am open and honest with this info im called all the names under the sun and wont understand why i prefer to travel to the Dom.
No one understands me anymore.
an ex-husband is noooo threat he continues to help me in times of need not a bed buddy!!!!

That's going to be tough for some people to accept. Though you have a valid reason for your living situation, many people will feel uncomfortable about you being with your ex. I would probably be as upfront as possible from the beginning to save yourself as much hurt as possible. There are many open minded people, however, so eventually you will find your match.

Good Luck!

Well, you just have to keep searching for those who are more understanding. Explain exactly why you're in the situation that you are. And explain how he's not a threat.
Little else can be done.

I empathize. As someone who has particular health requirements, I can completely understand staying in residence with someone who knows how to manage your care. If there is someone who -doesn't- grasp that, regardless of the side of the collar, that person is clearly not going to be the right relationship for you.

Rather than getting upset about it, look at it as an opportunity to cross off yet another idiot from the pool==one more jackass closer to the person who will be a good match for you.

Many people will say anything to try to get into a relationship only to find out they really don't want to go there. It's frustrating when you're being open and honest about yourself, and you keep finding out that "I can handle anything" really means "I can handle it as long as it doesn't cause me any inconvenience." I've been rejected by a dominant because I have a 4-year-old son. I've also been rejected because I don't have men over here. I've always gone to their place. If a supposedly single man doesn't want me coming over, it sends up a red flag.

The point is that you can be angry about it all you want, but it's just part of the interview process of trying to find a compatible partner. Daddy was perusing profiles and read my journal, which was a rant. He sent me a few words of encouragment, namely that not all dominants/men are a$$holes. I thought it was sweet, so I politely answered his cmail even though he was outside of my demographics. We've been seeing each other for about 3 months now and have been discussing the future. It seems that he meant it when he said my problems were miniscule.

When the right one comes along, you'll be glad the other ones didn't work out.

"No one understands me", "I can't find someone compatable"... same thing in essence but the former is indicitive of self-pity the latter is not.

I don't mean to make light of your situation and I fully understand your frustration with this but....I am wondering why when someone says 'I would prefer you NOT to come to my home because I have youngins" is acceptable, but stating 'I prefer you NOT to come to my home because I still live with my ex, who is helping me in times of trouble" is not acceptable.

People blow my mind sometimes.

Anyway, the only advice I can give is to stop trying to force incompatible people to your way of life. Obviously, the ones you are speaking with now do not understand your situation and are making no effort to understand it. To me, that says that they are not someone I would want to be around anyway. Would you not prefer to be with someone who took the time to at least understand?
And, like others have said; it takes time for some to come to grips with such a unique living arrangement. That does not mean that there are not those out there who can rise above and accept it; only that it sometimes takes time.

And, last but not least...

If one goes through life thinking that every person who doesn't like them is a jackass, that's going to make for a pretty miserable life. Just because her situation does not work for someone it that does not automatically make them an idiot or an asshole, it just makes them incompatible.

I have to wonder if this could be their cause for pause. Where is this temper and frustration coming from and who is it being directed at? Also, you mentioned a serious illness. While many people would be very good if their partner became seriously ill, far fewer people want to start a relationship with someone who already is seriously ill.

Yes, fortunately there are enough people out there who do that all hope isn't lost.

Yes, the name calling is not cool. I just meant that it's ok for people to have preferences, and that, in itself, doesn't make them jerks, assholes, etc.

Yes that is fortunate. I didn't mean to imply it was hopeless. What I respect is not whether someone is willing or not though....it is whether they can realistically look at the situation and honestly assess whether or not they personally can. Just like people who can honestly assess what kind of parent they would make BEFORE they have a child. Taking care of someone who has a major illness is a huge commitment and can be difficult and trying. It can also be enormously rewarding. But it is the wise who look at it before making that commitment and ascertain whether they can indeed keep such a commitment. The last thing that someone who is seriously ill needs is someone who says "I thought I could handle this but now I realize I can't" and walks out the door.

I'm sorry to hear that chyanna...that is what I was referring to though....I'd much rather have someone know up front that they can't handle it than leave in the middle of a crisis. There is also still the issue that you mentioned of "temper"....I'm curious how that is coming into play and where it's coming from. Can you elaborate?
