Hello all, I'm out of the Army a couple years now and with a much younger girlfriend (more than 10 years) who introduced this DS to D/s. She has had several dominant men in her life so I suspect this is not a fad for her. I am new to this but I think I'm getting it, and the concept of being in control is not unfamiliar to me at all. However, some of it is difficult. I was raised to respect women deeply and treat them with care and reverence. A friend of mine who introduced me to this site described it as "putting her on a pedestal." I think this is creating tension in our relationship. I am beginning to realize that you can fail to care for a woman by not being a source of strength for her, not giving her the restraint she needs to channel her energy in a productive direction. My parents did things a completely different way and I don't think they're wrong, I just think that for me and her to work out I am going to have to treat her the way she needs to be treated. I'm here to get help with my relationship. Again, I'm new to this, but I'm an excellent learner because I'm also an excellent teacher. I'm sure that I will make progress here, but I'm hoping that maybe I'll make some new acquaintances as well.
