I'd actually go for the 'zero option' here. A question. Are you really being yourself or are you trying to be 'normal' and conform to some sort of stereotypical image of you? Let me try and paraphrase what you wrote. A friend showed me his Mac computer last week. I've been interested in Mac computers for about five years now and would like to start using a Mac. The problem is that I have just bought an expensive system which runs on Windows Vista. I'm scared to switch to Mac in case I have future problems with Microsoft. Now I don't want to go into whether you're deceiving the GF or the potential domme because I feel - as others here have suspected also - that there is a much deeper issue - are you being completely above board and open and honest with you yourself as a person? What is normal anyway? And why do you need another woman to explore BDSM with when you've got a GF? Are you trying to explore polyamory or something? Let me share something with you, okay? I'm a transgendered female, I'm working towards full gender reassignment. Yes I'm into women and that makes me a lesbian as it happens, something which has recently cost me the rest of my family (they had this idea that I would change my sexual orientation with my gender and settle down with some guy). Now about 12 years ago I had everything, a career, a beautiful wife, I was buying a flat, and I was doing my 'man thing' - I had everything but I wasn't happy, in fact I was so unhappy I was getting through a litre and a half of vodka most days. I got a rude awakening in the form of a bout of pneumonia and a brush with clinical death. You see you can have everything, you can be whoever it is you want to be, but if you're not living true to yourself and who you really are inside all you're doing is working against yourself and hurting those around you. What is the value of your life if you are living a lie? The seasons, months and even days pass much quicker the older you get and quite a few of the opportunities you may come across (and squander) may not come back to you later. I walked away and let everything go, went through the divorce and everything and told my wife to take the lot. I made a fresh start, faced up to my issues and worked at becoming me as the 'me' I really am. No I don't fit in with society, truth be told I never did, but now I'm open, and emotionally transparent, and the acceptance I have now from people, people with whom I can be completely honest and myself, I wouldn't want to trade this for anything. And there's no point in being with someone, no matter whether it's a vanilla GF or a domme, or whoever, if you cannot be yourself and who you really are. I can't really advise you as to what to do as it's your life and you make your own decisions, but maybe by posting here and sharing that part of me might help you by giving you something to think about. Lies are a bit like Jack Russell terriers - always prone to bite you in the butt when you least expect it.
