i suppose i've been somewhat leary to post this reality to this thread. Perhaps it was the superstitious part of me that didn't want to put this out there and then have to eat my words. The reality is though about two weeks ago we had officially been seeing each other for a year. It's been a wonderful, exciting, challenging, stimulating, growth required year. I've learned so much about myself, my ability and desire to submit, my ability and willingness to be in a healthy supportive honest relationship. It's funny on one hand, looking back i feel so silly for some of the things that seriously stressed me out in the beginning. Things such as, 'what if i'm not cut out for happiness?!' and 'Why is this the first time i've ever felt really happy' to even sillier things such as, "oh my god!! What is he going to do when he sees me naked!!??" Looking back those issues seem so trite and so frivolous. The reality is this: i never dreamed i could be this happy, content, supported, valued, desired, loved, treated wonderfully, empowered, and treated like the slut i desire to be all in one relationship. i never thought i would ever meet the kind of man who would truly and sincerely care about me and what's best for me. Not His selfish needs. Recently, i was in a horrible car accident. i never in a million years dreamed He would be so supportive, so kind, so loving, so wonderful. Please do not think i believer our relationship (or either one of us) is perfect, because we are so very far from it. However the reality is that we are both committed to working on this relationship and to each other. i met Him here, through collar me. i do believe that's been my most wonderful positive experiences.

Kali - congrats to both of you. I wish more people would wait patiently for the one year mark before proclaming too loudly and publicly regarding their new relationship. I wish you the best!

Congratulations Kali. It sounds as if the two of you respect and value each other which is always wonderful to hear about.

Wanders,
i think You've hit the nail on the head with why our relationship continues to work. i believe it's because we value, care for, respect, honor, nurture, and love one another. When You put all that ahead of who's right and who's wrong and who did more of this and who paid for this last time, those little daily things just seem to lose their priority.
Thank you,
Kali

Congratulations and well done, Kali.
I take great delight in your posting and the honesty portrayed therein. Your line "What if I am not cut out for happiness" struck a chord with me. I guess at times we all feel a bit like that, but I have found that the D/s Community is so full of supportive and understanding folk, genuine people with true feelings for their partners and others.
I am just in the second week of a relationship which I truly believe has all the positive signs which you have expressed, Kali, and I also thank Collarme for allowing me the wonderful chance.
Thank you so much for sharing, and again, congrats!
