Trying Something New Post-Divorce

Anonymous Peachy Petal #695 · General Confessions

I just got divorced after six years of marriage, and honestly, I'm feeling lost. My ex-wife was never interested in this kind of stuff, but since she left, I've found myself drawn to a new fantasy, being in an age-play relationship with someone older who acts like my dominant parent. It's...intense, because I feel both the freedom to explore and the vulnerability of rediscovering what it means to be cared for in that way. Last night, I met this incredible woman on a dating app who shared similar interests. We agreed to meet up at her place, and she made me feel like such a little boy again, she read me stories before bed, set my bedtime, even tucked me into bed with warm milk and cookies. It was both comforting and exciting in ways I hadn't expected. The intimacy we shared afterward was tender and passionate. But here's the thing: is it normal to feel so deeply connected through this kind of role-play? And how do you keep that connection healthy when it's all still very new for me? What advice would any of you have?
