I found out after hooking up with my boyfriend, that he's into this kind of thing. He's submissive, or even a slave. I'm not really a dominant person. But I tried to accommodate him as best I could. I guess it wasn't good enough. I found out recently that he's been trying to hook up with others on Craigslist. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure he's a member here, although I don't know his username. I really love him and don't want to lose him. Any advice for me?

I mean BDSM is pretty awesome I think, but i do it for myself, not because someone else wants me to. I'm just wondering about your motivation here and if it'll make you happy in the end.

Carol does it for me... because she loves the bejeebers out of me. That seems to work out pretty well for us.

Love yourself and health more than you love him. You are not dominant and cannot give him what he wants and his choice is to threaten you and your relationship by hooking up? Be smarter than that.

I had never done anything like that before, and apparently, I wasn't very good at it. Although, I did try to learn more about it.

There's a good book "When someone you love is Kinky" that may help you.

As for the him hooking up, that's up to you to determine whether you really want to save the relationship.

Before going to look for some "strange" he should have at the very least had the courtesy to speak with you about his role and his needs and given you the opportunity to allow him to have his BDSM needs met by someone else or even possibly helped you to find a mentor to help you learn better.
Personally I say if you're truely interestes in exploring this lifestyle you need to find someone who will have your well being at heart rather than thier own hard on.
Of course since he's already given you just cause to kick his ass to the curb, you have the upper hand and the right to make the decisions on what to do next.
Next move is yours, where do you want things to go from here?

Have to completely agree with Killerangel there, not only is it a complete betrayal of trust but also completely disrespectful.

You said you were learning about it, well done! Everyone starts out somewhere, he should know and appreciate the great lengths you are going to for him. If he can't see or understand that, then (at least in my opinion) it would seem the relationship is exceptionally one sided

It's awesome that you were giving this all a shot for him, what more could he ask for really? He should be there with you helping and introducing you to things. It just seems like he is looking to go outside your relationship, in other words, have his cake and eat it too. Sometimes all people like that need is a good excuse, and his is that you're not Dominant, so off he goes to find random hook ups. If you were a Domme, he could possibly choose something else. Some people are never happy, ya know? If he were ever going to be happy with you, the fact that you were hanging in there through his jackassery (trolling CL is a great way to infect YOU with something) and still trying to make him happy - that would have counted enough that the two of you would be trying to give it a go instead of just you working on things while he's looking for others. I'm sorry, it just sounds like he's not as invested in the relationship as you are.

Sometimes you just can't change yourself inside out for someone. You have to move on to find a better fit. This seems to be one of those times. You have a lot to offer and a willingness to work on things that will mean incredible riches to some lucky guy. Don't let someone else define you or make you feel inadequate, it might just be as simple as a mismatch with the two of you.

It's hard to give any advice without knowing a lot more about the situation, but a lot of the times a submissive man's dissatisfaction with the way his girlfriend enacts her dominant desires is her lack of confidence, enjoyment, and "is she really enjoying it or just doing it for me?" type of feeling. Clearly you are just doing it for him. And maybe not "hardcore" enough. Or a combination of both. And maybe these are two obstacles you can never overcome -- or maybe they aren't.

I wrote a lot about how "non kinky women" might better understand what female domination feels like from a femdom's POV and I am starting to repost things over at the Creative Writings Section here. Here's a link to my Good Girls Guide to Female Domination:

If so, then why do you love him a lot if hes looking for someone else? You do know that its just a matter of WHEN - he finds that person, hes gonna dump you right?

You may love him, but its apparent he doesnt love you. At least not in the sense that he is willing to make you the only person he wants to have an intimate relationship with. Or cares enough about your feelings that this may hurt you.

When guys are looking on the side - its because they feel they are settling, and dont want to have a space in between where they are alone. They can have an instant replacement- where they wont be lonely, They dont care about where this will leave you. That or they get a high by cheating - the "Im getting away with something." Be careful - because if he is, you dont know what he's bringing home.

Teaching women to understand submissive or kinky men is okay. Teaching women that simply want to please their man to keep him... while he cheats and puts her at risk... isn't saving a relationship with a worthy d/s ingredient, but teaching women to please men that have no respect for the women and are willing to cause harm to get their kink on.

Bull shit.

I've only heard your side, but here's the tally thus far.

Him: Got into a relationship with a non-kinky person without being honest about his submissive nature. Sprung it as a surprise. Tried one or two sessions with you topping him, gave up, and then decided to cheat on you.

You: When he sprung on you that he wanted to be Topped, you tried to do it. When he cheated on you, blamed yourself. Now trying to find out how to salvage the relationship. You sound like a real sweetie, one who deserves better.

He's bad news. Not only did he expect you to pick it all up immediately, but he "dumped" you and started looking for other women when it didn't work out. If he cared about you and the relationship, he would have encouraged you and gradually got you to improve your skills. It's hard to find women interested in doing this, so you can expect him to "audition" and move on from a parade of women, never finding a match. He's fueled by porn fantasies, and reality will never match his expectations.

DesiresFury, your writing and thought processes seem to indicate to me that pleasing your partner is huge for you. I bet that you would make a wonderful submissive to some lucky Dominant man.

Actually that is what i was thinking as well, that she seemed to be submissive. Just didn't want to add in any confusion, but hey....as long as it's out there now I'll add in my and say it looks extremely possible OP that you are concentrating on the wrong side of things here trying to force yourself into being something you aren't, while ignoring something that seems to fit you.

Up until a couple of days ago, I did not know that he was displeased. He never told me. I would have gladly done things differently. Even though, to be honest, it made me uncomfortable and felt unnatural. Maybe that was the problem. I was trying to be something that goes against my nature. Anyway, thanks again and I guess I'll be moving along now.

Well you dodged a bullet then. Had you gotten married to someone who lied to you about their sexuality from the start and then tried cheating on you to get what he desired it would have been heartbreak. The fact that he never told you speaks volumes....why be with someone who can't communicate? He's been with you that long and deliberately been lying to you the whole time. You don't need that. Someday you'll look back and that God that you did find out the depth of his betrayal to you and that you got out when you did before having a lifetime of it and maybe having kids added into the mix.

Don't go, you can stick around in the forums and weigh in on topics that resonate with you.
I do hope you find peace in whatever you choose to do.
