Dom decided to take a break for personal reasons, I don’t know how to proceed. NSFW
So I’m a 33 y/0 sub. My Dom’s a little bit older than I am and I’ve been subbing for them for almost a year. I have started to develop feelings for them and they said they do too. The problem is that they’re in a LTR and when we met they were open but they’re closing the relationship now and they told me that while they’re closing the relationship for a while they still want me around to resume things once it opens back up.
The problem is that now the situation feels skewed and odd. We are still hanging out just not having sex but even kissing feels odd now. I understand they’re doing what they’re doing to preserve their relationship but I’m feeling very lost already and slightly heartbroken.
I also noted that their partner was still mildly sexually interacting with other people (with the Dom around them) but the Dom is not interacting with me like that, already and I’m starting to get the feeling that I’m the issue in their dynamic.
Another thing is that I’m a POC and their partner is white. The other people that I’ve seen them hook up with resemble their partner and not me so Ive already had an instance that I felt very left out and we talked it out and moved past it but I’m feeling extremely expendable and I don’t know how to bring it up without either losing the chance to be back with them after their stint is done or put undue pressure on them.
Plus just one thing and this may sound conceited but i am very aware the interest I get from other people because of the way I look and it’s significant which they have noticed as well but I think our intellectual and sexual and kink chemistry is very aligned so i don’t encourage other situations but should i just explore other options at this point?
I would appreciate advice because im very confused and my friends would scoff and tell me to to straight up distance myself without understanding that i have feelings here as well
