Last year around this time I was writing and contemplating things, how things were going with J. It’s the New Year so I’m reflecting on the past year again, what I’ve learned what I’ve experienced and how or if I’ll take that into the next year.
I want to first write about what’s going on with D and I. Our last meeting that I wrote about wasn’t our last time together. We’ve gotten together again for a long weekend in October. He did come down again in November, but we had very little time together, due to his work and me leaving out of state to celebrate Thanksgiving and my birthday. We talked about us and what each of us wants out of our relationship. It was a perfect time for this discussion as things were more settled and the out side influences had surfaced.
Our Major consideration of our relationship was if he got his promotion which would require him to fly to my state to conduct his businesses. As it turns out he did get a promotion but it’s not the one we were hoping for. He’s a smart man and was also being considered for another promotion, one that’s was even better than the first. This is the job he got; he’ll now be flying to other states as well as mine. It’s a regional job and it will last until he gets another promotion in a few years. With that being decided for us, we then talked about trying to make it work and what the possibilities were and we came up with.
1) He turns down the promotion—but I could not ever let him do that! He got the job for a reason, he deserves it and he should take it!
2) I move there to where he lives. – Same thing, I don’t want it on his shoulders if things don’t go well as if I don’t get a job there or if I sold my house then didn’t have something to come back to if it didn’t work. Though it’s a nice fantasy I don’t really want to be a kept woman again. He says he’ll have no problem with it but I think I might. I’ve just been independent so long and there’s a few other issues that I have but won’t go into. This is all in addition to me having my home and friends here.
3) Another option is to just end it! Cold Turkey! Hahaha yeah I know NOW that I don’t do well with that! I’ve got to take that Band-Aid off slowly! So what are we going to do? We are going to try and keep it up, our visits, the communications our friendship. After all he’ll be racking up those frequent flyer miles! YES, we are in full denial… or maybe like that song says “Neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye” and for now we don’t have too. In my heart of hearts I hope work out something but if we don’t I hope we fade away slowly but keep in touch a bit and remain friends. He’s such a nice and good man. I really do want the best for him even if it’s not me and I know he wants the same for me.
Right now we are still talking and chatting everyday and seeing each other when we can. I saw him in November and we almost skipped December there was too much going on with his work and me with my family holiday commitments. I went to see him at the end of December after Christmas, on the way back from visiting my daughter, and I stayed a few days. Oh it was so much fun he’s a great host! Totally making me feel welcomed and at home in his house.
Most of the time we are together we are talking, it’s great and I love that he’s a really great communicator, he does it with such ease, but he’s told me he’s always working on it because of work. It’s so fun because it’s like we can’t wait to bring each other up to speed on what’s happened in our day and in our thoughts about things and each other. Rarely a day goes by that we don’t talk, but it comes with such ease as it’s not something we feel we have to do or an obligation it’s that we just want too.
I really do enjoy being with him, but this wouldn’t be a complete Blog nor would it be true to my heart if I didn’t write the following. Since September we’ve been discussing about our really true deep down feelings ( I know how mushy
) about our D/s play. We basically laid it out on the table and went through each item and talked about it. Though long ago we both shared our list of things we wanted to do and try and things we’ve tried and didn’t want to try again. This time it was kind of like talking about those same things but more importantly we talked about why we like and want to do the things we do, it’s like getting to the root of why we are like we are. A bit of psycho analyses of ourselves, we both believe that what’s the point in doing all of this if you don’t learn the why of it. I don’t want to go through all of it but will touch on our major topics.
One of his was wanting a Slave, back in May, we talked about it, at the time I thought I’d want to try it but in finding out what it really meant, what I’d have to do or become it just didn’t feel like me. With that big topic on the table we talked about it again recently. This time he told me that he knows I could never be that even for him nor did he see me or want to see me that way since he’s gotten to know me so well. That made me really happy I told him maybe it was about controlling the situation or controlling a stranger, or just having one totally submit to him to him no matter what. He then brought up about having someone to be totally for him, loyal and dedicated. It bothered me what he said as I know he doesn’t think I can be totally loyal. I looked away staring outside his window thinking of our past conversations on the matter. He thinks that I’m poly through and through because of what I’ve told him of how my life has been for the last 9 years. Well on and off. He knows how I’ve dated and few mean at a time, but mostly it’s been a rotation of the same 4 men and not all at the same time but with trying out others (as in dating!) throwing in a new one to the mix every now and then. He brought up about how I wasn’t loyal to J but I then told him that J NEVER required that I be since he him self was poly. I’d told him everything about J and how he never wanted me as his sub so why would he want me to be loyal to him, though at the time I used to fantasize about it, it just wasn’t there for J. I also told him reason I did date others at the same time. I have several good reasons but the main one was so that I would not get serious or fall in love with any of them. At least until my daughter was grown and out of the house, which she is now. Protecting her, her heart and mind was my TOP objective.
As long as there was more than one I knew I wouldn’t allow myself or them to fall in love. I was ALLWAYS open and upfront about dating others with all of them. It didn’t help 3 of them. Two of them kept hinting to marriage and I had to break it off with them, as if that’s what they wanted they weren’t going to get that from me! So the kindest thing to do was let them go to find someone that did want to get married. The 3rd man was R well he wanted to get married and get me pregnant. He thought that was a Great Idea! When I made it clear that I didn’t want that, he went with another got her pregnant and then married her. Of course that was a while back and she ended up leaving him and then divorcing him. He’s the main reason I got my tubes tied! Until then I always thought he’d try to trick me. Funny how roles have changed… I do have trust issues with R but more on that later..
To be continued….. soon!
