. I feel for you ahmedbi... and if bdsm is as deep rooted into your sexuality as it is mine, it's something that haunts your thoughts everyday. The first thing you should know, and it may give you a little comfort, is that you are not alone. It's unfortunate that you've managed to identify your need for submission, after you've made the choice for a committed relationship with a vanilla partner, but it's a situation many people find themselves in. I guess my advice to you would be to ask yourself what it is you require in life to make you happy. My biggest fear is to be sitting around when I'm 70, looking back and thinking that life has passed me by and i've not been able to express myself in a way which is true to what i am. Also, never feel guilty for who and what you are. You are not broken or flawed, just different, and it's sometimes hard for vanilla people to realize this. Especially when the vanilla person is finding that thier lives are being affected by this lifestyle in a negative way, such as your current (posessive) partner may feel. I find, that as long as i can go to bed at night, and feel like i'm doing the right thing for everyone involved (including myself), then i must be making the right choices. Learning to push away feelings of guilt and selfishness, while i try to maintain a certain level of happiness for myself is a constant challenge, but gets easier with each passing day. Good luck to you ahmedbi... being this way isn't easy. sns
