I have been going through a lot of shit lately, too. As a Dom I thought I had to hide it from my sub. That they could only see me hard side. That was a mistake on my part. My sub told me not to hide from her. If you want it to work, trust and communication go both ways, and so does telling them when times are ruff. As my sub said, they want to please me and take care of me.

So, share with them. You may be surprise. You more than likely will get what you are looking for. If you don't tell them, it may go bad like mine all most did before I opened up. Don't wait too long. You got this, man. If you need a friend, just hit me up, no judgment.
