It's interesting to me, and maybe a little bit sad that i am willing and eager to bare my soul, and submit to the desires of Master, a man i've known for a relatively short time.  Yet, i would never dream of doing the same with the man i've been married to for most of my adult life.  i've been asked before if I would consider sharing my submissive needs with him and asking him to dominate me.  My answer is always an immediate, definite NO. 
 
First of all, i know him well enough to know that he doesn't have a dominant bone in his body.  i'd spend a lot of time topping from the bottom, something in which i have little interest.  i think the biggest reason though, is that i don't trust him to know what my true needs are.  Nor do i trust him to listen without judging me.  There is much i don't share with him. 
 
i know that Master appreciates my submission for the gift that it is.  He's a very special man.  W/we share a very close connection that i have never felt with anyone else.  As i sit here now, i can't think of anything i wouldn't share with Him.  i might be embarrassed or uncomfortable, but i would tell Him anything He wanted to know. 
 
In a perfect world, my husband would also be my Dominant.  That's not possible, so this is the compromise i've made in order to give my submissive needs a voice.  Master allows me the very great pleasure of serving His desires, and that completes me in ways  i never thought would happen.

    I do understand how hard that must be for you.  Before I told B about my submissive nature I thought about the 'what ifs'.  If he had no desire to be my Dom, and I knew him well enough to know he would NEVER share me, then my submissive nature would not be kept down or in.  i would have had to leave him even though I love him.  I would not have made him happy if I was miserable and how could I be happy not submitting?
     
    This is why I once put in a comment of mine that I wish at some point in the future, submissiveness and dominance can be accepted in the young just like a child being left handed or shorter or taller than usual.  I wish children could be encouraged to be who and what they are when their traits are spotted early on in school.  So many of us go through much of our life confused then get the answer when we are in our thirties and forties.  Many of us are happily married to people whom we love and are loved by only to have our lives ripped apart by our need for submitting or dominating.  We are often forced to lie or compromise when it should be the happiest and most natural thing we do in the world.  We want to be proud of who we are but its hard when we know how easy it is to hurt someone.
     
    Oh dear - I didn't mean to ramble on this much onlymimi but I feel so strongly about how long it often takes us to know who we are.  A child swimmer is encouraged to be the best.  A child athlete is pushed to be their best.  A submissive or dominant is not noticed, not looked for and I very much doubt would be encouraged.  Maybe one day. . . .

    onlymimi it makes perfect sense to me and while some may not understand or approve, I'm just glad you've found someone  you trust to share your submissiveness with. hugs
     
    as for not having a dominant bone in hubby's body....hehe...I recall saying those words about someone. Heck he only spanked me when we were intimate because he knew I liked it! *moans*

    Hi onlymimi, wow, a great post for me to read and its fab to know there is someone else out there that shares these feelings. i am in exactly the same boat, i have an intense online relationship with Arjun and yet i too am married to a man without a Dominant bone in his body, that's not to say i don't love him for who he is, but i totally understand how your Master allows you the freedom to release your submissiveness and accepts it for the gift it is. The first paragraph of your post is fascinating as its the feelings that i have been having too. i have, and continue to, bear my sole to Arjun, i give Him all that i can and trust Him implicitly, and yet, i cannot even contemplate that with my husband. At least we have an outlet and a release with Dominants that give us that freedom. It is a comprise, but personally, i couldn't imagine it being any other way.

    onlymimi,  i too have the same situation.  Am married to a wonderful man who would consider dom to be something very bad, insulting to me.  Perhaps he has the madonna complex - the whole mother of his children thing but in any case, I am perfectly SILENT with him on anything sexual, even when i cum.  Not so with my darling Sir T who loves to hear me talk, beg, and cum.  I do wish we could be together more as well but am thankful that we work out seeing each other in person about 1/week.  I cherish that, sometimes don't want it to come to early in the week for fear that I then have to survive without actually having him touch me until the next week.

    This posting helps me understand. I'm working as a D with a s., new to me. She has told me this in a similar fashion. She wants to submit to me, and I'm ready to do this. What you have described helps me be the good D that I will be. I will listen to her as she tells me then take her as it pleases me, because this is what she wants and needs. I know the gratification then that will come to both of us.

    Thank you for posting this.

    I am one of the fortunate ones that can openly express who and what I am with my Sir and soon to be husband.  I am also fortunate enough to have a small circle of friends who also embrace the lifestyle and who I can share off coloured, jokes so to speak and experiences with, without worrying about them reeling in horror and disgust.

    That hasn't always been the case and sadly must admit that long ago in another relationship discussing some of these things left me feeling embarrassed, ashamed and guilty.

    One incident in particular stands out foremost in my mind when one man that I was with quipped, "you're sick and you're a freak!"  I have never forgotten those words yet with Sir I now accept that those that do not understand our chosen way of life are not really living life at all.

    Wishes for continued happiness,
    Cheers
