it is never right to set out to hurt someone you 'profess' to love.. i live by a philosphy that states 'an it harm none, do as you will' if you are doing something intentional that will cause harm, you are in the wrong.. doesn't matter how you want to spin it and i can talk from personal experience.. i'm married (at least technically) but am trying to find a Master.. now let me explain how it works without causing harm.. the first part isn't essential just background of my situation.. the physical part of the marriage has been ended for 6 years now.. in fact i filed for divorce 1.5 years ago.. i still care about him, just don't love him... after he got the papers he fell apart, i spent months talking to him, trying to tell him that everything he felt he needed (the closeness and friendship) would still be there.. just didn't want to live as his wife.. it took awhile but now that is exactly what we have.. living as room mates in seperate rooms now comes the part that is relevant.. he knew before we married that i was interested in bdsm.. probably not how much i needed it.. i thought i could leave that part of myself after he freaked when i talked about kneeling at his feet so i was wrong.. but with my need for honesty i have told him i'm going to munches, he knows i'm looking for a Master.. in fact i've come home from play parties in the last couple of months and shown him my marks.. he is no longer freaking out over the thought.. he is learning to accept who i am and what i need.. he knows what i'm doing but in the spirit of not hurting him i don't rub it in his face.. i have told anyone i was going to meet that i would never do something where he would see.. it is one thing to know, another thing entirely to deliberately go out of your way to hurt someone now if you profess to love someone, yet do something to hurt them anyway.. i think you need to redefine what you mean by love.. talk to the person... it might take a long time but don't you think it would be worth it in the end? now, after all that time i spent talking to him.. being open with him with what i'm doing, and working at not hurting him, i have found our relationship is better then it ever was.. don't want to have a real marriage again.. but now he is actually trying to do some of the things i like.. kinda funny when he tapped me on the head with a new flyswatter yesterday
