I am currently in a long-distance relationship with a girl who could, I believe, be trained in some manner, or otherwise be willing to engage in submissive behaviour.

The thing that concerns me is that entering into that sort of relationship would require an intense commitment on both our parts, her mainly socially, but mine at least partly financially.

The financial commitment may essentially be implicit, but I think it does have implications for the dom/sub relationship, particularly as I would eventually have to relocate her to where I live in order to pursue such a lifestyle.

This whole situation is further complicated by the fact that I'm relatively inexperience when it comes to such relationships myself. being dominant certainly feels natural for me, and I feel it could def. be worked into our sex life, which was mostly vanilla when we were together.

The important thing is that I want to introduce it as something positive, because I have lately come to believe that pursuing a BD/Sm lifestyle would be satisfying for me. Any thoughts appreciated.
