and.. has your prospect Dom has been in touch with you yet?
Keeping in touch is important in any relationship imho, D/s or not.

Well said Logic1 and Echoes - have fun

The emotional rollercoaster...I've ridden that one myself. And the most helpful thing I found - a friend to turn to when I thought I was losing it. Someone who would listen, understand, and most of all, settle me down when I was ready to say "the hell with it". Needless to say, she's submissive too - so understands completely.

She kept me sane, kept me positive, and kept me from leaving Him - which would have been a HUGE mistake on my part. I owe her an unrepayable debt of gratitude...and so does He.

I hope you have someone to talk to privately, Echoes. And if not, my email address is in my profile. Feel free to use it at any time.

Moving from the fantasy of submission to the reality of it... can be confusing. Even if your partner does everything (or nearly everything) correctly. Because it's all new territory for you.

So yes, it really pays to have someone who can be a confidant.
