Life changes and then goes on. We have been "24/7" for nearly 10 years and married for over 25. Have we got it perfect yet? no. Will we ever? no. But it is still good. Do we scene every day/night? no. Do we even play once every single week, all the time? no. In the last 10 years we have gone through the following: Daddy was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease(ok now w meds, but it took 2 ER/ambulance rides and a cath to figure it out), I was diagnosed with diabets and cancer (surgery and I am fine), built our own home (yes all by our own selves), I ripped my rotator cuff(more surgery), the birth of 3 grandkids, blah blah ... in other words - real life. Whether or not we have played in long time he is still Daddy and I am still his girl, I still make his bed and get his coffee at 5:45 a.m. Whether or not we have played he still loves me, cares for me, and takes care of me. Life ebbs and flows. I would no more think that he was no longer my Daddy than cut off my arm just because he needed some down time. That is when I take the best care of him, giving him showers, washing his hair, making special treats for his lunch, sending him "love notes". But then we do have a long history and that does help me think about the fact that times will get better, becasue I know they will. He is also patient when I do not feel up to something - sex or play. he took care of me after surguries and waited for me to feel back up to things before he ever required anything of me. How much do you want this to work? How much time and effort are you willing to invest in him? How honest are you willing to be with him? if this relationship is not worth it, now is a better time to know that than a year from now. Even vanilla couples go through dry spells - work, life, health, wedding plans, the fears he may have as he contemplates this upcoming step in your lives, even some Rx drugs can have huge impacts on mental, emotional and sexual health. You may not have to be a martyr, but you do need to decide on what you really want and what are willing to do in order to help it happen. If you are a bottom that's fine and good to know, but it may mean you want a different type of relationship that a "sub" might want. I would caution you not act in haste, but give it all careful thought and try to have some opne, honest, calm talks with him before you make any big decisions either way. good luck in your journey.
