My husband and I met on Alt.com back in December of 2000. It was my first time meeting anyone, real life or from online, who was interested in the lifestyle. We were married on Halloweeen of 2001. Coming up on 5 years. Granted, I started out as "submissive" to him, but we couldn't be happier, regardless of how things have ultimately turned out. I think if you both attempt early to lay a groundwork of vanilla-type things you have in common, the sky's the limit. That's what worked for us. Some of the pitfalls we've encountered are keeping a comfortable balance between vanilla-type relationship stuff (Our marriage, which comes before anything lifestyle-related) and BDSM-D/D (in our case) parts; trying to move too fast in the beginning, differences in communication styles....I could go on. Basically, any type of pitfalls you'd find in any vanilla relationship may come about at some point, but lump a handful of D/s related issues on top of those, just in case. Sounds like you guys are doing quite well, and are happy. Don't worry so much....Ya might jinx it. LOL. I wish y'all the best. MrsShadows
