Relationships outside of marriage

[Isabelle90]

*Commence throwing rotten tomatoes*

There will be no throwing of food, rotten or otherwise!!! Who are any of us to judge? I certainly am not!

divorce at this time would be financial ruin for the father of my children, my Dom has my complete trust and respect, knows all of my life, supports me emotionally, fulfills me and makes me so much more of a mother, woman, and caretaker.

Cali, you are extremely unselfish! I cannot imagine putting myself through the emotional rollercoaster you must be in. In my opinion, the openness is which you have with your dom is awesome! Hopefully it is helping to balance your life.

Life changes things over time and relationships alter in response. What was important once might not be now. If one then goes beyond the old agreed limits, is it still cheating? Or if so, does it matter?

Isabelle also asks how the couple who are "playing away" can possibly trust each other knowing that they are cheating on at least one other person.

TYWD

TYWD, I think that is what Flaming Red was kind of saying. People and relationships change over time. I guess it's just a matter how we choose to deal with those changes.

I didn't use the phrase "playing away" because I don't think that anyone that has a D/s relationship outside of their marriage would ever consider it that. If it were just "playing," most of us would probably agree that that would be selfish and considered cheating. (Really, though, I'm not judging!)


These are simply questions that float through my head. Anyone that knows me, even here, knows that I ask questions! Not out of judgement, but out of curiosity. I have a need to learn and understand.

Think of me as Oprah, only without the billion dollars!!!

Next up......polyamorous people. What say you?
