Most posting on the thread got basically well that is just how it is going to be I do not care about your needs behavior. In my personal experience the betrayal was not what happen but the lack of reaction or caring how things did change. Still great to hear another side that is positive.

I can see all of the things that were done right in our situation, but in all honesty, most of it was on Daddy's part. In this part of our relationship, He has most of the effort. He has made the effort to understand the circumstances, the ability to go with the flow when my libido is lacking, and putting in the time with our doctor to work with my problem (which He has made Our problem [:)]). In other things, I have made concessions, but this seems so huge to me...and I'm really grateful for His patience...not only with the problem itself, but with the guilt I feel about it. It must be hard for a Dominant to accept those things within His submissive that are completely out of His control. I suppose I am wondering what is so different about a "bait and switch" and a situation where the Dominant is unwilling to work with the issue at hand? This isn't a blame thing, just an appreciation for all that Daddy has done to make a solution possible without making it a "bait and switch" situation. I see that neither of us is cheating, or lying, but the end result was the same...the sex and kink was brought to a screeching halt for a while. We entered in the relationship one way, and the situation changed...just a thought.

Frankly there is no difference in my mind between "bait & switch" and one partner being unwilling to work on things when they come up because both of these situations are a mismatch of effort to maintain the relationship, right? It is hard for a dominant when things are out of our control -- scenewise or otherwise. But you know I notice it's hard on Fox too even though he's my slave. Today when I was very upset at my computer pissing me off and damn don't it feel like the entire freaking world is setting up barriers to my defense, he just stopped and knelt in front of me and held me. Then he said "Mistress, we aren't going anywhere until your heart stops beating so fast." He was shaking when he said it. It was the most wonderful thing in the world and exactly what I needed. Life is this way -- it throws craps at us both, it makes us both feel helpless from time to time, and then we return to our roots and each other to recenter.

So many people are confused about their sexuality. Women who can be free before marriage feel afterwards that a wife and mother shouldn't be sexually minded. And a great many men feel that way about the mother of their children. The madonna/whore thing. Religion has a great many sins to answer for IMO.

In my experience, the explaination they gave was weak and smacked of deceit. As for how I addressed the situation, I ended the relationship within 24 hours. I can't tolerate lies. And even if it wasn't lying but a true change of heart, it's still not a relationship I care to be in. Either way, it's over. -DR

I TOTALLY know what you mean. I was married to a man for almost six years who had Zero interest in anything remotely kinky, yet he had acted as if he was interested in it before marriage. My mistake was in not waiting long enough before marrying. Needless to say, that didn't work out because eventually I needed to be free. And a blessing it was too because otherwise I would not have met the wonderful man I have now. And I probably would not have appreciated him as much. Someone else asked if this is why people do things on the side.... and I have to agree. I think a lot of people fool around because they are not getting something at home. I did not get kink outside of my marriage, but i do think a lot of people do based on the number of 'married' ones on here seeking others. I am totally cool with that if their partners are accepting, but it doesn't seem so great for anyone involved when that is not the case. My thoughts. Have a good one!

quote: ORIGINAL: thetammyjo quote: ORIGINAL: Bobkgin I was in a four-year relationship with a woman who lied about being bi-curious. She told me she'd lied to keep me in her life. I found her betrayal of my trust so profound that I couldn't find it in me to trust her further, and ended the relationship. I totally agree with this. Why should you trust someone who has lied to you and done so for very selfish reasons? Claims of "I lied because I love you" are really just cover for being selfish or afraid to be alone. More people should have your self respect, Bobkgin. Perhaps then there were be fewer heartaches and folks would stop lying to impress or control. Thank you TammyJo. This was the first relationship where it was understood from the beginning it would be a poly relationship. There had been many false starts and many assurances from her that this was the life she wanted. A host of delaying tactics became obvious once she'd confessed. I felt thoroughly manipulated by my trust in her. While I have always wanted the truth more than anything else from those I love, I started emphasizing that point a lot more after my break-up with her. Not that this will protect me from a deliberate liar.

Like RealDeal says, I guess you met my SO. My ex was into kinky sex when we first got together but I got really tired of being the teacher and initiator. He just couldn't think for himself and expand on it. I guess my submissive personality was there even then. I stopped when he found an old puppy collar of mine and started degrading the bdsm lifestyle and anyone who would "shame themselves to become like a dog". Being young, stupid and in love, I went along with it and denied that part of myself. We became the stereotypical vanilla missionary type couple with boring sex on Saturday nights after the kids were in bed if he was sober enough. I must say, rediscovering kink and the lifestyle after leaving him was a huge enlightenment to me. Is it something like a pick-up line with some people? An acting of someone they're not just to "get the girl"? Or is it they decide that it's too much work to keep on with, to let their imagination roam? Or do they fall into the societal norm of "this is perversion" and stop before they get found out? Who knows?

I married the first woman I came out to in part because she didn't reject me. We played before we got married and for maybe 3 or 4 years after we got married, but she eventually decided that kink wasn't her thing. She never realized how much a part of me bondage was and I never realized it wouldn't grow into something more for her. By the time we had these realizations, we already had a child and I wasn't willing to leave my marriage for the sake of my sexuality. My wife encouraged me to find a partner and I came this close but I decided that involving a third person when I wasn't naturally poly would only pull me farther from my wife and family (now two kids). So, I developed online friends (though not cybersex) as an outlet. We lived in this state of kink detente for a number of years and probably would have continued until the boys were up and out of the house, but my wife came out as a lesbian a couple of years ago, so we've parted amicably. It's been a healthy breakup - it makes a huge difference when both partners leave to pursue their true (and incompatible) sexual orientations. I have no real regrets. We made the best choices we were capable of at the time and we got two terrific boys out of the deal. I will say that an enthusiastic partner is light years more enjoyable than someone who's just willing to go along. Vice

Unless someone is in a power exchange relationship no one in that relationship has the right to allow rage to take over and beat the other person. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thumb): The notion that the "rule of thumb" was a law that limited the width of a rod that a man may use to beat his wife has been partially discredited. Wife beating has been explicitly illegal in British law since the 1700s, and has never been legally sanctioned in America.[3] However, at least four judges and other legal authorities from 1782 to 1897 have referred to the bogus law in spite of the fact that it never existed.[4]The non-law gained popularity after feminist Del Martin wrote in 1976: Our law, based upon the old English common-law doctrines, explicitly permitted wife-beating for correctional purposes. However . . . the common-law doctrine had been modified to allow the husband 'the right to whip his wife, provided that he used a switch no bigger than his thumb'--a rule of thumb, so to speak. It is now firmly entrenched as an urban myth. [;)]

i don't care about the law regarding rule of thumb it was the implication of your words regarding when a man feels rage over being denied sex i had issue with. Being in a rage and beating your wife is abuse.
