Me and my boyfriend just ended our relationship after some exhaustion and difficulties, ultimately we weren’t in the right headspace at the right time to balance our differences in a way that didn’t cause hurt or pain,,,, The challenge is that now post very fresh break up we’re trying to maintain a friendship in what ever way we can… Over the relationship we moved into a strong Ddlg dynamic and now post break up along with grieving and missing him, I miss that space that he created or the aspect of our relationship that allowed me to find and realise that part of myself. I’m struggling so much right now to hold respectful boundaries but I’m feeling vulnerable and the lg side of me feels so strongly linked to him, I want to be his little princess and for him to still treat me that way and talk to me that way and I miss the intimacy and vulnerability that comes with how we played together in a ddlg context. And I just want him to kiss me and tell me that I’m his and that he’ll look after me and protect me 🥺 It doesn’t feel fair to our healing to express that to him and I worry that it would blur the boundaries post break. So I’m saying it here because I need to say it, but also to ask for advice from people who have experienced anything similar and ask for advice on how to deal. Please be kind with any replies thanks 🙏
