I wouldnt say this is a common experience with older Doms, but it would be a lie to say that alot of people (both Doms and subs, of all ages) dont sometimes carry their roles with them out of the (proverbial) bedroom. As you experienced, this is not healthy, and you were right in ending the relationship over it.
Hope you will find some one better able to not let the D/s roles get to their heads. Many better experiences likely lie ahead!
