The double edged sword of our lifestyle...

Is full of so many choices and possibilities. Our lifestyle choices are as unique as we are. And there will always be a niche for your particular kink or desire. And a acceptance that is beyond rare in life.

Vanilla relationships usually don't reach the depth of a D/s, M/s relationship. Oh they try at first. With the new infatuation phase. But it doesn't last. Many times they stop putting the work in. So... when the sex is gone those relationships are usually in trouble.

But us lifestylers can and do go the other way. Sometimes to the point of being consumed with our Dom's or sub's. In so many D/s relationships there is a deep love and respect for your partner. Where countless hours have been spent talking, taking the time to know each other, being with each other, trusting one another, playing, expanding limit's, and in general learning each other's secrets and vulnerabilities...

Our relationships can last a long time. There are many widows and widowers on Alt. I have talked to quite a few. My last relationship lasted over 11 years...

But ohhh no when our relationships go bad! We can certainly hurt a Dom or sub with the info we know. The hurt we can feel though is different from vanilla breakups, in my experiences. Where your heart feels like it's been shattered in a thousand pieces.. Where you have to find a reason to get out of bed every day. Just like you are grieving a death..

That is the dull edge of the sword for me. Finding the Dom who will never use the info he has, against me, even if we go our separate ways..

This is so true! And, the constant fear of being "outed" is awful ! (I never sextext for this reason)

Ive been very careful with breakups. Dealing with the breakup can be absolutely gut wrenching and the outing is the ultimate stab in the back.


pac369 replies on 3/7/2021 6:36 pm:
For sure drmgirl.. It is a horrible thing to even think about while breaking up. Thank you for your thoughts.

I had one dom (no capital letter for this worm) try to out me when I was very young and just starting in the life. What he didn't realize is that I was pretty much a wild child who really didn't care. I also had a strong friendship base among those who made it their business to silence him.. Justice was swift, I do not necessarily agree with the methods now, but in my early 20s it made sense.

That being said, since I rediscovered how much I need to submit, I have been very careful to protect my identity. Keeping certain aspects from any prospective Doms and ensuring that trust with those that have become more than prospects.

It is unfortunate you had to go through all that Finally.. It seems to have certainly made a impression on you. We do have to work on keeping our identities private. And share when the time is right. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Bdsm should never be defined on such simple terms as sub vs dom


pac369 replies on 3/7/2021 6:46 pm:
likes.. I appreciate what you are saying... This blog is about relationships though, in a general sense. No disrespect is intended at all. Because I accept everyone, no matter what there sexual preference is..

It all comes down to trust doesn't it..........Even if you give it and it is earned. The mind is very capable of throwing fits and when hurt, reason goes right out the fucking window for most people.

I will blow your mind like a verbal John Wilkes Booth


pac369 replies on 3/7/2021 9:15 pm:
Absolutely! My mind or someone else's throwing the fit is what scares me... Thanks for speaking the truth.

I can totally relate to your piece. I was in a D/s relationship that lasted fifteen years. When it ended (badly). I was devastated. It took a few years to dust myself off and get back up again. I feel the relationship I was in was different from any other I've ever known. Much different from any vanilla relationship I've ever been in. I also feel that anything worth having is worth risking it all for. I wouldn't change a thing about what happened and what I learned about myself in the process. Thank you for sharing. Be well.

My relationship also ended badly. As deeply as we loved each other we became fierce enemy's... And like you it took a long time to get over it and bounce back.. Thank you for sharing your experiences to aliljaded!

Well fury.. Your thoughts are deep concerning why we come to this lifestyle? The reasons would equal the stars I imagine... I wish you the best of luck finding your submissive.. As far as alienation goes... That is way to complicated for my two cents.. Thanks for your thoughts..
