epiphany, I have gone and read most of your posts and your blog.
Let's lay this out.
You're a professional dentist, MD, DDS. Your Husband/Master has a PhD in psychology, but I think maybe now he handles the business end of your practice working with low income kids in need.
Yes I am a DDS and He does all of the business so I can focus on kids...
I was a single mom of three and no dentist would help my daughter with an abscesses tooth (she was two)... I did something about it and now see 80-100 patients a day bc other dentists won't see Medicaid...
His gf/potential slave has been in his life for 6 years. There is a history of cheating and sneaking around with her, but that is over. You and she are more or less friends now. She has lived with you and Husband on and off. She does domestic work and child care for your teens (chaffeuring, etc.).
We all met six years ago online...they had conversations I wasn't aware of and out of nowhere He requested we fly her across the country to spend a week with us... They didn't click physically and not a lot happened...she left they were still friends but He was disappointed and not into her anymore...I asked Him to cease contact bc we were moving and I just wanted a clean slate...unknown to me they emailed and talked on the phone 4-6 times over the six years in between... Had He told me it wouldn't have been so bad that he hid that I am not completely over...I found out AFTER she moved here and was working for us...He insisted they were just friends... I refused to believe Him finally after a huge fight He admitted still having an interest in her as a slave despite the physical nonattraction... I tried...I really tried...He had permission to do whatever and after a while she moved in...he swore nothing ever happened ( he had permission so y lie?) but two months of her living with us...she told me what happened...I cracked...I can not handle lies... Give me the courtesy of the truth...
He ended everything and was just friends a fact she supports and I do trust her but my anxiety was too much and one day I put it out there that if I was already feeling so upset...he may as well be exploring things with her...wasn't even a minute for him to take me up on that...He says one thing actions say another
So! Your Husband is feeling horribly guilty about his desires for his gf. He and she have not had sex alone (since the cheating time when there was oral sex).
Again he had permission it's just that he lied
And yes His guilt is unreal...His desires are more BDSM than sexual but yes He is almost nonfunctional from guilt and it makes me angry because I have done so much work on myself to get where I am...
You 3 have had group sex and that went pretty well. However, you feel "less than" because lately you don't enjoy physical pleasure and can't orgasm. OTOH the slave cums easily and is also a pain slut and could fulfill this for Husband if he could get over his guilty feelings (seems he thinks he is cheating on you even though you have agreed to all of this).
Yes...I do enjoy the group activities even though it makes my inhibitions obvious...I enjoy physical pleasure but can't handle being watched...she could care less (which I think is fantastic)... I have an abnormally small clit tucked up very high and away whereas she has a huge clit... Orgasms are an issue and a trigger for me that I need to work on... I can have one alone with hubby with a lot of work...I know it bothers him and I know how much he does enjoy that about her and I'm getting where that's ok...and yes she is a pain slut which after watching Him beat her is now a nonissue...I want NOTHING to do with that and she loved it...
He has been so depressed in the not too distant past he couldn't get out of bed. Despite being a psychologist, he seems to not have much insight into his issues, perhaps does not have therapy or meds to deal with his crushing depression.
Yes yes yes
Now, he is guilty about being with slave. You feel "less than" when they are together. He is seeming less than the Master you want, the decisive, take charge kind of guy, and is seeming weak! You feel anxious, and full of self loathing.
Yes but I have come a long way on the less than and am doing well at self acceptance ... But yes He isn't taking control like I need and it's making everything more difficult
But
you are protecting Husband by not telling him about all your doubts and insecurities, so that he won't fall into guilt and crushing depression again.
the more i try to talk things through the worse He is...if I put on a happy face He gets better starts taking control and things get better like they were until my massive meltdown
AND, you all live in the Bible Belt. I reckon that is where all the guilt and self loathing comes from originally. You are living an alternative lifestyle (BDSM, polyamory) and probably feel on some deep level this is wrong. Plus, you have no one to talk to in real life about it except each other. But thank goodness you found this board.
Self loathing comes from my brother being 180 IQ and me not... My mom didnt mean it but I never felt good enough couple that with every meaningful boyfriend dumping me for another woman and...recipe for disaster I have major abandonment note good enough issues ... Hell I put myself through dental school as a single mom of three young children caring for my terminally ill mother with a 150 mile a day commute and I can't stop telling myself I'm pathetic? I get the logic it's the emotion I can't let go of ...I work 5-6 days a week taking care of kids and feel like I dont do enough...it's ridiculous ... By the same token I am pissed as hell that I don't get my fairy tale marriage with my husband
But he is a good man... All my bitching and whining don't show that but he is...aside from this he is everything I ever wanted and I know he would give anything to not have these desires so I don't need to be beating him up about it...I need to love him respect him and accept him
What would you like to have happen, and what steps could the 3 consenting adults in this situation do to remedy all the (not fun) pain I see? You're doing important work for your community and I imagine being so stressed out is not good for your concentration doing delicate work and surgery on children's teeth!
Hubby and I talked today...I am honestly at a point where I can accept her living her I can accept all the group play I can accept the D/s dynamic and I can accept oral sex between them without me...but I can't yet even begin to actually honestly be ok with them having sex without me... I know the people on this board will role their eyes but goddammit I didn't agree to this going in...I was clear when we got married no more group sex just US... I have come a long long way...I just am not there and may never be there...I could be upstairs and know they were downstairs having sex and be fine but I can't go to work and come home and not have a clue...I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of that it's where I am
She and I talk... About everything... No idea why but she is ok with as much or as little as I am...and my husband is seeming better right now too...
I read these boards and I feel like I shouldn't b upset I should be fine...so many other people are fine...but im not...sex is so emotionally intimate and vulnerable for me with Him...I know it isn't for him with her...they are friends good friends but its not romantic on either side... At least not that they say or I see...he says he would be fine never having sex with her but he isn't sure she would b ok with that...
I don't want to treat her like a sex toy I want things to b fair but I have out over 13 years into this marriage and this life thinking it was my fairy tale and its not...I matter to and I can't forget that...I will keep working on it but I am afraid if I get where him having sex alone with her is ok I might lose how sex with him is so deeply intimate for me
Before him sex for me was recreational never emotional...I call him my game changer...he broke down my walls and barriers and things that kept me safe and so with him I am so naked and vulnerable ... It's just not something I want to give up and if he is fucking her I think I lose that...at least emotionally for me...I lose that and he becomes just another man using me...
I want my husband to be who he is...if it turns out he is polyamorous I want to help him accept that part of himself and love himself ... I really gut instinct feel that this is a major fantasy and a few months or year into it He will realize that it's not what He has built it up in his head to be...I think the same for her she hasn't ever been in a D/s relationship and I don't think she is long term going to be happy with it
Mostly...right now I feel alone...I feel like I have to take care of him and take care of her and help her serve him and I have two kids left at home and all my patients and everygoddamnthing in my life is about someone else
Meh enough whining
Great thing is I have raised my kids to be open minded...my 18 yo just came out that she is bi and happy about that (still a virgin though... So modest that one)
My son is quite open about being bi-curious he is 15 and totally ok with himself
so glad they are so self accepting and non judging!!!!!
