Wrestling with My Past Lately...

Since becoming a stay-at-home parent, I've found myself drawn back to an old kink from my twenties, the idea of someone coming over just for rough play and dominance. It feels like a throwback when all I want is calm family evenings now. Yet last night, when a guy I've been dating casually suggested we meet up with friends this weekend instead of seeing each other solo, I found myself craving some one-on-one intensity... Maybe it's the stress or lack of intimacy, but suddenly being on top and pushing limits seemed appealing again. Is that normal? Should I talk to him about it or wait till things get more serious?
