Hey everyone! I want to start by saying that my husband and I are trying to get into a D/s dynamic. We began this journey about six months ago, but I’ve been struggling with his lack of enthusiasm for educating ourselves before fully committing to this dynamic.

I often feel emotionally abandoned and crushed when I talk to him about it or discuss the boundaries we’ve set. I’m not sure how to express my emotions on this topic in a way that he will understand. Most of the time, I feel so overwhelmed that I end up ignoring my feelings until they fade.

Whenever I ask if he’s read the article I sent him or a post on Reddit, he just says he’ll get around to it—but he never does. This makes me feel alone in the situation. I don’t know if I want to continue this journey if it only leads to feelings of rejection or abandonment, even if that means giving up a dynamic I believe would be healthier for us.

Maybe I’m not seeing things clearly, and that’s why I’m here.
