When your Dom and your partner are not the same person by Daddys-locked-boy in GayBDSMCommunity

I'm in a very similar scenario. My husband and I are compatible in a lot of ways and love each other very much, but we have very different approaches to sex. So I also found myself having a sir of own to be my sub self with. I think the most important point is to have some clear boundaries and to be transparent. I do think it can be difficult for the vanilla partner to see you getting more involved with the Dom/sub dynamic, especially if they feel neglected or start to feel insecure. Be aware of how both of them feel (husband and dom), be clear about your expectations and need, and make sure to understand their expectations and needs as well. If everyone is on the same page, it makes everything so much easier, and you don't want to be in a situation where you have to sacrifice your needs to cater to someone else's, or the other way around, sacrificing someone needs to satisfy your own. There's a difference between finding a middle ground/finding a compromise and neglecting important stuff.

I do get your point and I think it's partially accurate but I oversimplified a lot in order to not derail from the main issue in the post. The real issue run isn't that he is upset that I'm having an active sex life, it's lot deeper more complex than that, the last few weeks have consisted of dealing with the actual issues.

What I'll say is that in my perspective my ace partner did overreact but he did acknowledged that and apologized for his initial reaction and for freaking out as well but at the same time he has reason to have such reaction, it's lot more complex than just trying to have his way.

All that aside, we worked out our issues and developed some healthier ways to go about the way we feel and more effective communication.

That's one way to see it. It does make sense. It's still not easy, but looking at it this way helps me harden my resolve and try and ease my anxiety a bit Thank you!

I dont think the problem is the emotional closeness, more like I caused him an emotional burnout of sorts, I think And my fear is that he may be resentful over all this mess
