Breaking the Rules of Our Relationship
Anonymous Desperate Devil #315 · General
I’ve been in a long-term relationship with my partner for five years now. We’re both artists and share many creative passions. However, there’s one particular thing that I crave but we haven’t explored yet: role-playing a non-consent scenario where I’m the aggressor. It started as an innocent idea during a heated moment of desire, but it quickly evolved into something more complex. The concept isn't based on anything real; it’s purely fictional and hypothetical, but imagining this dynamic has become such a turn-on for me that I can’t stop thinking about it. I know we have clear boundaries in place, especially regarding respecting each other’s consent at all times. But there are moments when the thought of breaking these lines sends shivers down my spine. I’m torn between maintaining our trust and respecting her wishes versus exploring this fantasy that feels so tantalizingly close to reality. I’ve discussed this before with friends in similar relationships, and some have said it’s not uncommon to desire taboo or restrictive scenarios, but others argue it could be a sign of deeper issues. I love my partner deeply and want our relationship to stay strong while also acknowledging my desires without shame. What advice would you give for navigating these waters? Is this something that might go away on its own with time, or is it worth further discussion and exploration?
