My husband and I are doing the same thing, in that we got married 4 years ago as your typical vanilla couple. I had been in the lifestyle for many years before though and had decided that I didnt need it because I had gotten burned out by a bad relationship. I decided to "give up" looking for a Dom or even a man in any sense. Met my husband at work and things went from there. We began a wonderful realtionship, I was compleatly honest with him about my past, and he was open to it, but at the time I insited I didnt want or need any part of it anymore. Over time, Ive realized how wrong I was, and we have begun to explore SM together. He has been in a past realtionship with someone in the lifestyle, and been to many play parties, but really wasnt ever into it himself, so in our situation, he is the novice, not me. Its frustrating to both of us, because there are alot of times I forget that he is still learning. expecially when we are in the middle of a pretty intense scene and fairly deep into subspace and he has to drag me back out of it to ask some question to me. Which makes it really hard for me to answer sometimes, I have to form my answers very carefully so as not to ruin the dynamic of the situation and make it seem like im topping from the bottom. I have been lucky in that I knew many people already in the lifestyle, whom I trusted and had played with previously so I knew their style of SM. We have gone to them, both privatly and at public play parties for mentoring and support. Over the past year, our relationship has really grown and I attribute that to how well we are able to communicate. I dont think we would have that if we hadnt already formed a relationship before we added the SM. Alot of times he tell me he feels like he is letting me down because he doesnt think he is as good a Dom as I deserve, and I generally keep telling him hes a nutcase and I love him even more for learning all this just for me.
