My longest Ds relationship is my current one -- almost 8 years now. Before that my longest one was 18 months -- he hated his job, got a better one, and moved. We parted as friends but frankly over time he stopped emailing or snail mailing us back and I decided years ago that I don't do any type of relationship that is one-way so he's not part of my friend category any more. Most of my Ds relationships end that way, over time just stop talking as much because one of us moves on to another state or city. My most traumatic break up was with a .... person who I knew, trained, and owned over the course of 11 months. This was the first person I had vaginal-penile sex with other than my husband so when the nasty break up happened (turned out he and his wife had serious problems they decided to take out on us) it really turned me off to those types of sexual acts with anyone other than my husband. It also turned me off to anyone who has a prior partnership or domestic responsibilities. The result is that I don't consider anyone who isn't single any more and I don't consider anyone with ums who are still living at home. If I'm going to be the owner then I want first place in their life. It also taught me to ask more questions about people who claim to be poly. Frankly the above couple was not poly in any positive sense. They used other relationships in a sort of competition with each other and if one had a break up they would force the other to break up. They were pretty good actors though. It also taught me to ask for community feedback about a person. Maybe it was lies but post that relationship I had a lot of people in the local bdsm group and munch tell me that he was a weasle and that she was a total psycho and when I inquired why they never said any thing to me, they simply said "you didn't ask me". Now I ask. It also made me more of a my way or no way sort of dominant. I made some ritual and rules decisions that person above wanted then it turned out he used those extra things to try and tell me that I was abusive to him. Nope, we do the rituals and rules I think are important and now more -- don't like it, there's my door don't let it hit your ass on the way out. It took Fox 5 years to get through all the walls I put up after the above meltdown though my slave before him, Faith, helped get me back into personal Ds relationships with his gentle approach and complete honesty.
