A New Path After Divorce

Since my divorce six months ago, I've been exploring a side of myself that's always been there but only recently acknowledged. The dynamics and intimacy with my ex were traditional, but now, I find myself drawn to more unconventional forms of connection. It started subtly, a flicker of interest in DDLG scenarios and the idea of playing a protective role while feeling cared for by someone else. The thought of being both guided and guiding, depending on the setting, has become incredibly enticing. While my interactions have been playful and within the confines of mutual agreement, it feels liberating to embrace this new part of myself without shame or reservation. I'm proud of how far I've come in understanding my desires and am excited for what lies ahead.
