I know, but it still hurts. Sometimes I think that subs forget that Doms can be hurt too.

I think it is part of every self respecting sub's prayer; 'protect me from Doms who are so insular or self involved that they cannot feel hurt'.

As for 'coming out', why do you feel the need to? I have been in a r/l relationship for some years. I am not ashamed of my submissive nature nor of my D/s relationship but I quite simply do not feel the need to discuss it with anyone. Some people recognise my deference to him, and I occasionally have my leg pulled out it and he receives the odd comment, but why flag up something which people are unlikely to be seriously interested in and are unlikely to understand. Life has enough problems without adding to them.
