isabeau, we are in somewhat similar situations....Sir decided very recently that he wanted to collar me, and I of course accepted. For now it's a collar of consideration (yes, it's kinda an old guard thing), which will change to a permanent collar once we're able to be together permanently. Neither of us wishes to rush things, and we both understand that the physical distance between us is going to make things exceedingly difficult at times.
But anyway, what I wanted to tell you before I went off on the tangent was that I have upset people too lately. I've been what I would consider lightly involved with a few other Doms since meeting my Sir. All of that ended with my collar. And more than one is quite upset with me because of it. My intention was never to lead them on or anything of the sort, but I am now officially off the market so to speak, and they're not happy about it, or so it seems. You, like me, know what you feel is best for you, and that is to entrust yourself to another.
I'm like you, I can see how people may be judgemental and say "it's too soon" or whatever else, but don't sweat it. I'm not. I know how I feel, and I know where I want to be...in His arms and under His guidance.
So congratulations to both of you, and best wishes for a happy, successful future.
Hugs,
medic
Also, thank you to everyone again that has posted regarding my questions about collars. My long conversations with my Sir and the help I received here are what gave me the confidence to accept His collar as the right decision for both of us. So thanks again....

Be careful of wolves in sheep's clothing..not everything is as it appears to be...
