'Tis true, revamping one's personality is a long and difficult struggle, and not for everyone. It also depends on the person themselves; another person can help tremendously, but they ultimately can not make the descision for anyone else to be a stronger person. (Not to say that submissives are weaker in personality, simply to say that as I gained a stronger sense of self, I also gained a better sense of what I genuinely liked, and so my sexual tastes also changed dramatically.) It sounds like you spend many years trying to get your ex to take the lead, and no, it isnt for everyone. Im sorry things didnt work out. Ive seen a lot of guys try to force dominance on women, and that can be as aggravating and a huge turn-off. I know nothing of either relationship, so I can only speak from assumptions and personal experience. From the original post, it sounded like he gave it a shot (which is admirable), but when the first or second try didnt work, he went off to find someone else -- without, I think, considering how much being involved with a Mistress may weaken his marrage. Because BDSM, whether involving sex or not, is deeply intimate. Its a serious turn-off when a guy talks about chivalry and servitude, then talks about "happily" screwing his wife but wanting to be psychologically intimate with another woman. Its a shame she doesn't fufill all of his needs, but he chose to marry her! Problems in a marrage (as Im sure you know) are solved on the scale of years, not on a scale of excitements. She may or may not ever fufill that need in him to submit, leaving him frustrated and resentful in the long term. In which case he should consider why he's still married to her, and what is more valuble in his life. Sadly, compromises rarely work in situations like this. (Sometimes they do, and thats wonderful. Usually they don't.) These are damn difficult questions that have to be asked if he has an ounce of respect for other people. I was just saying that by showing his wife some serious, uncompromising, long term adoration in everyday life - without her asking for it, she might start liking it. Maybe even get confident enough to abuse him (consensually, of course.) Loads of shy people fantasize about exerting control, but then immediately think "Oh I could never do that." And it takes months, even years before they start realizing "Maybe I can do that!" Wow, That was deep!, You really read between the lines ! Scott, you need to be open and honest with your wife and with yourself? If you desires your fantasy to come true be Honest and Seize your day! Don't cheat on your wife, you loved her at one time and do you have any kids???? Straighten out your real life first...before you start trying to let your fantasies become reality. *Brightspot
