greetings and salutations

[gladgirl]

Hello, I guess I will take myself out of lurk mode for a minute and try to introduce myself. I am very shy when I first meet new people, even though you all seem so nice and supportive its a little unnerving. I began to uncover my feelings of longing to submit quite a while ago, but they scared me and I shoved them back down in whatever hole inside my brain they came from, but they just keep bubbling up and I realise that acknowledging and accomadating this part of who I am enriches my life. So I am embarking on a journey and shyly trying to pull my husband along with me. I'm in no hurry, dont want to push him too fast. Dont want to push him into something that he isnt. But also dont want to become complacent.

Sometimes it feels good to pull the scabs off and reveal the new tender skin underneath. I dont know how much I will post, but I definately appreciate to thoughtful discourse that happens here. So I will go hide in the shadows again, until perhaps another flight of fancy takes me.

welcome gladgirl, we all know what you are going through and are more than willing to jump in with our two cents worth if you have questions

Hello, I guess it is safe to say that we have all been through a process of recognising our needs and then accepting them. There are probably as many different stories as there are members, but there are a few threads of familiarity running through most. What I am trying to say is that although you are unique you are not alone.

By all means continue to lurk, but if you wish to get the best out of this place I would encourage you to try to stay out of the shadows and post, and slowly get to know people here. Plunge into the fun and games section, explore ideas in the knowledge section, or exchange PM's with people who seem approachable. Above all, I hope that as you find out at least some of the information you seek, you learn by watching this community that we do not have two heads and the Dom/mes only bite if invited to.

Welcome to the forums, gladgirl.

I hope that you enjoy your time here. Don't worry about being shy, we were all a little shy when we first joined, but the community is wonderful, and I have no doubt that you will make many friends here.

Welcome again

Hi and welcome! I'm a pseudo-lurker too, but already I'm getting to know a lot about myself and those who post on the forums. It's all about having fun and playing it how it best suits you after all! If I may ask, how are you going about the daunting task of revealing this lifestyle to your husband? You may already have discovered a few do's and dont's!

Would you believe I'm shy, too? Considering I love the whole public thingy..no one around here believes me. *pout* Glad to see you made that first step...it's a doozy!
