OmegaG You ask truly tough questions. They’re difficult to wrap my mind around because I have possibly been diverting my attention away from the reason I would be drawn to Him. My answer on this message board, is that the reasons have been contemplated but have not been fully understood by me yet. It’s difficult to reflect on your own intentions when linking past, present and future concepts together. I have been alone for a long time now…. even in my marriage. I believe that I’m ready for a new chapter, and this is proving to be an exciting one, barring the emotional ties that I too deserve and require. I do take heed of your recommendation LotusSong, and will be careful accordingly. I have been searching for a long time for clues about who it is that I perceive myself as. I have read numerous self-help books, seen numerous well-known psychologists, taken meditation, yoga and belly-dancing classes. Backpacked half way around the world for years in the hopes of finding myself somewhere on my journey, isolated myself from my home country, family and friends in order to tear apart all preconceptions of who and what others believe that I am, and yet still I’m pursuing a career that I promised my mother that I would become as a child. So have I found myself yet, I believe the answer is no. Whoever truly does though? I suppose this might be a quest in another search that may make me happy. Windchymes, my ex got together with a female during a trial separation that we had and is still with her. So, in reality I believe that there is a range of what an individual may be capable of in terms of commitment during a divorce. I understand that the majority of men would not be interested in anything except a sexual relationship during such a tumultuous period in their lives. I’m not asking for much, just a little care, which was my concern to begin with. I am not looking for a permanent collar with this man, but I do believe that I too should be appreciated for what I’m bringing forth to Him. “In a nutshell, I wouldn't make ANY emotional attachments with this guy, just enjoy the fun you're having, and don't secretly hope for any kind of future with him…… Keep him as an option, but keep looking for your priority. “ This is great advice Windchymes. I believe that I will follow this, and enjoy the moment more. I have always given of myself emotionally before diving into sexual relations with someone, so I need to teach myself this philosophy and try to adhere to it now. Yes, what’s wrong with me having a little fun too. It’s female wiring that does it, and training myself to think differently about this will be a feat in the end. Eyesopened, you are right about the relationship goals should be the same, and in line with my response to Windchymes, I will try to make our goals the same. I will enjoy Him, learn from him, with no further expectations. That way, I’m protecting my fragile core, and in time might find the committed, loving, D/s relationship should that be my future will. BlackPhx, thanks for your sound advice. Taking it slow isn’t necessarily the female way, because of course we want to be adored, but I’m willing to give it my best try. My child does come first, and that’s why I will only see him when I am able.
