If this is lengthy, I am sorry. I need help urgently and seriously and will appreciate any comments that may help me understand what is happening to myself and my partner. (I am desperate for some understanding.) Some background: I suppose I am submissive by nature - have thought of myself in this way for a long time. I have served a wonderful (married) Mistress for around 5 years before and, after that, a professional Mistress for around 2 years (as Her personal pet slave.) I met my current partner around 9 years ago, at the time She knew little about bdsm etc. but was very curious. In fact, online I have always been ksubm and our first words were "Are you submissive?" and I replied... "Yes, always..." We quickly established a normal/vanilla relationship although, through the years I have, from time to time, tried my best to get Her to engage in some form of Femdom activity. This, She always resisted – I suppose I am a bit to “out there” for Her liking but still, we have a good relationship. Because of circumstances I work from home – She is a manager at some business and as such it is logical that I do most/all the housework, laundry, cooking – in fact, all the things that need doing in order to keep a household running. This, I do not see as submissive – instead I think it is just what loving partners do for one another in any relationship?? She had one strong desire namely to be with another guy and keep our relationship as well. However - She had difficulty to believe that such a relationship could actually be maintained. Eventually I felt like I had to take the lead so, I found another wonderful girl, brought her home and, took her to bed right in our home. I explained that, with some friends we invite them over for a talk, sometimes even a dinner or something and, sometimes maybe even a few hours of fun in bed with them. We all enjoy spending a few wonderful hours with good friends. Although, personally (and for whatever reason) I am a one woman guy and have never felt the need for someone else, only the one person I am with - this is my own choice, just my own personal makeup. We found a guy for Her, brought him home and, for awhile I think She really enjoyed the freedom, having 2 guys all over Her etc. Although this only lasted for around 3 months, the ice was broken and from time to time, She'd meet someone else, usually in some hotel somewhere (She likes the excitement of going to hotels etc.) while I stay at home. Throughout our relationship I insisted that She is Her own person, can meet whoever She may decide but, that absolute honesty is a requirement. This is because I am convinced that without absolute trust there can be no relationship. (Suppose this comes from the days when I served my Mistress in some serious scenes etc.) Moreover – I also need to know that She is safe, happy and, above all, treated well at all times. I am always worried, especially when She meets one of Her online chat friends for the first time in person (in some strange hotel room) so, I try and insist that She calls me once settled. (Just to say that everything is working the way She planned.) Although She did not meet as many guys as She perhaps She would have preferred, (only around 5 or so) I do think that this arrangement was working fairly well for us both. Her needs for some additional fun and excitement outside Her primary relationship were satisfied, my own needs to be with Her as well. All this changed in August when, one Friday She decided that She to invite some guy home. At first I thought it was a great idea - but it was clear that She was quite stressed. When eventually I forced the issue, She told me that She had met this guy before and even spend a night with him in some hotel – I never knew. I broke down, saw this as a breach of our trust, cried a little and in general made a real mess of the situation. I still don’t understand why but for whatever reason, this had a major impact on myself. To make matters worse we still had to prepare for the upcoming weekend and the issues were never truly discussed and resolved to my own satisfaction – although, in the end, Her guy never did show up, making me even more upset. (Because, She truly deserves better treatment than to be left hanging on promises from anyone.) At the end of October, She found yet another guy and, as is usually the case, She left for some hotel early evening. However – this time She did not call me, She did not come home so, in the middle of the night I started calling Her. She was rather cool and collected and told me that She’d be home early morning to get ready for work the following day. The next evening She only came home for some fresh clothes before rushing back to the hotel. The next weekend She left on the Friday evening to spend the weekend with him and, the weekend after She again decided to spend the weekend with him. She was on cloud 9, stars in Her eyes, positively glowing and all She could think and talk about was this wonderful guy. Even people at work started commenting, asking if She has found a new love in Her life. Although it was wonderful to see Her like that, I also felt very isolated and unsure and so one evening when She was back home, I carefully tried to find out if/how these feeling inside Her would impact on our relationship. When She replied that, while with him, She does not even think about me and our relationship and that, in fact, She won’t care much if I stay or go. I felt totally devastated and fell into some kind of deep emotional state that I do not understand – except that I know I have been crying most constantly all of November, stopped working, eating and most everything else. Her new friend has left the country for the holidays (to see his family) and, for the past month I have been trying very hard to understand what is happening here. She constantly says that She loves me but yet, all I can think about is how easy it was for Her when I decided to move out our bedroom – yet, how She steadfastly insisted that his flowers will stay in Her bedroom. (This and hundreds of other similar thoughts that is.) To myself, the only thing I really ever valued (and thought belonged to myself) was Her heart… yet now, She says that Her heart never belonged to anyone, that She is Her own person in every possible way. To make matters worse (try understand – I was desperate) I insisted on some kind of commitment and we (myself really) wrote an agreement based very strongly on Femdom rules according to which She would have Her own freedom, have any/all the guys She’d like and I would do my best to find ways to manage my own emotions and accept all this. We signed and finally, after 9 years, She gave me a collar to symbolize Her ownership – something that I asked for countless times and that even now, I value very much indeed. However – the agreement also included more than enough to allow myself to fall totally immerse myself deeply into all those submissive feelings. This is because I keep saying that husbands and partners do not come with ready made on/off switches and as such, they cannot simply be turned off for a few weeks at a time while the female is enjoying a wild, passionate fling with someone else. In fact – not even submissives come with such a switch but, with some work, I believe that something like that can be installed in the submissive mind. However – the more I think about it all, the more I feel that somewhere something is wrong. Having been involved in the scene before, I sincerely believe that agreements, contracts and such can/should only be used to enhance and strengthen an existing relationship and not (like may well be the case here) to curb my own intense feelings for Her. (Any comments please??) Moreover – I know that once I do follow my own submissive side, I become much less able to make decisions with regard to my own well being etc. Instead, I tend to simply follow the Mistress (because I trust Her totally in everything.) With my partner’s level of inexperience (as a Dominant) this, to myself, is indeed a uncomfortable place to be because (as all who have been involved in long term bdsm relationships will testify) this is indeed the kind of relationship that touch us on all levels and may, at times, become really intense. For this, I need to trust that the person I am serving are capable to taking us both to where we need to be. In fact, any real Mistress willing to spend some time, talk and help my partner, help Her understand that now more than ever She needs to stand tall, and be confident would really be appreciated. In addition perhaps sharing some knowledge as to how “simple” things like bondage etc. can be used to help the submissive mind achieve that quiet, peaceful state while enhancing Her own level of control etc. Maybe even discussions with regard to “punishments” – how this may help the submissive mind to accept certain difficult situations etc. while, through it all may also built a stronger, more confident personality in the Dominant. In fact – anything and everything that may be of help will be sincerely appreciated. It feels like I am missing something – about my own emotional makeup. For the first time in my life, I feel incapable to understand my own reactions, my own emotions. I also remain rather unsure about my partner, about what it is that She may actually need in life. This is the reason for my story – I am hoping that someone out there may be able to comment, give myself some direction as to how and what and why I am feeling the way that I am. I appreciate everyone’s time to read all this – thank you all.
