I am not someone who regularly struggles with jealous. I am happy in an open relationship, more i struggle with the idea of monogamy. I am happiest when I can play with others and enjoy watching my Sir do so to, I have even considered poly in a serious way and still would if the right person came alone. Which is why it has been such a shock that the person who on paper should fit in perfectly causes me such problems and makesso many feelings of jealous. This other person, i shall call her Jane, is the house mate of my Sir and a close friend of mine. They have played together in the past and slept together in the past although that has stopped. She is a sub and is under my Sir’s protection and wears his collar in the form of a play collar.
In contrast I am my Sir’s slave and girlfriend, I am owned and the one he fucks, I have no safe word or limits. In this way we are so different, there is no chance anyone could mistake which one of us holds the higher position for my Sir.
But that only makes it more confusing as to why I have been struggling so much. However I have been thinking it through and it isn’t the potential for sex, it isn’t the fact they might play or that she wears his collar. No as I sat on christmas eve with them both I realised it is the casual intimacy between them that worries me. The way she finds it so easy to sit at his feet, the way that without thinking she will kiss him or feed him bits of her food. The way that in front of others she will happily sit and cuddle all the things I find so difficult.
But more than that I struggle so so much with the way she can rely on him, with the way she needs him. Without a second thought she needs him and I can’t I want to but every time I feel myself sliding towards that place where I rely on him I pull back because it scares me to much, the chance of needing someone hurts still and I can’t allow myself back into that place. Although that is another post for another day.
Lastly and it sounds so petty but i resent that easy time, that you only get when you live with someone, when you are in the same space as someone just going about your everyday lives but keeping each other company none the less. Despite the pain and fear that I had in my last relationship it is that easy time I miss more than anything and it frustrates me more than I can explain that I am not in a position to have that but they can. And it is petty because I know my Sir is hardly ever home as he works away but knowing that when he is they get that makes me resent them leaving me feel petty and mean.
