ORIGINAL: Arpig quote:
Whether sex is involved or not would depend upon whatever the two of you decide; it's just not anybody else's business. Excuse me? Not anybody else's business? What about the man's wife, I may be a little old fashioned, but I am of the opinion that it IS her business as well. To the OP, well I agree that you have 3 options, but the 3 options you listed are not them. Those options are, in descending order of "rightness": 1. Tell your wife what you want and need & take whatever comes. maybe she will play kinky games in bed, maybe she will allow you a platonic (or mostly platonic) play partner, or to see a pro, or maybe she would want to top with you...or maybe she will want your ass out....no way of knowing till you tell her. 2. Suck it up, do without BDSM, if knowing others are "getting it" and you aren't is driving you nuts, then stop looking for/at it online. If you truely love your wife, then do it for her. I strongly suggest that if you try option #1, and if she says "No way!", then you take this option. I know it isn't very pretty, but tough. Cheating is cheating, and nothing you say to us or yourself will change that. 3. Be a man, tell her what you want, and if she can't give it to you, then pack your things, give her whatever divorce she wants, and go get what you need. Online, etc. may well satisfy your cravings, but unless your wife is aware of what you are doing it is still cheating, and trust me, she will figure it out eventually, and then the marriage will end anyway. So, if you truely cannot do without BDSM, then the only hope is that your wife can do with some, if she can't, the marriage is over, it is just a matter of time. You know what the right thing to do is, so stop trying to persuade yourself otherwise...you say you are a Dom, so act like one...part of being a Dom is having the cojones to do the right thing. <Edited to make it make more sense> Arpig, you pretty much said what I would have. I'll just add some additional suggestions. Coffs, it is the business of another person, your wife. No matter what other people may say, you've made a series of promises to this person and if you decide to "cheat"... (and the way it works, she gets to chose what "cheating" is: online relationships, nonsexual contact with others in the BDSM community, nonpenetrative play or a six person pileup with three sexes and a quart of Mazola.)... if you decide to cheat you've lost your honor. "Oh, she won't find out" is the mating cry of he slime-covered philanderer, and it may work for a while, but eventually Murphy will rear his head and you'll be found out and it will be bad. Then the marriage will probably end, messily and publically. And it will be your fault. I go along with Arpig that option one is the way to go. There is a lot of good material around to help you. For example, Janet Hardy's Someone You Love is Kinky is written for the vanilla lover in such a relationship but it contains a lot of information for the other side too that you can use in your talks. As far as this is concerned, you have already more than crossed one line and you are online. Ask people, not what to do, but how they approached their vanilla spouses, what worked and what didn't. Learn from them. If it turns out the marriage does have to end, at least you did the right thing rather than waiting for the roof to come in. As IronBear can tell you the best thing that can happen in an ambush is for the victim to trigger it prematurely before ending up dead center in the kill zone. In your case, it might well be your coming home and finding your wife and your secret submissive, crying in each other's arms and talking on the speaker phone to a divorce attorney while looking daggers at you. Secrets often don't stay secrets long.
