Letting go of your little :-/

[DaddyCue109]

My little is amazing.  Incredibly sweet and sexy.  I just adore her.

 

We don't live together.  Our relationship is not public (to our families).  We do a lot of things in public and people that see us together naturally assume she is my daughter.  Which works because she always calls me Daddy.

 

She met a guy close to her age and told me she wants to date him.  I'm older, have raised a family, have a great life, and would never stand in the way of her pursuing the same long term happiness.

 

On one of their early dates he left a prominent hickey on her neck.  Seeing a mark on her from another guy flipped a switch with me making the D/s part of our relationship no longer possible.

 

She wants to maintain our relationship, but although I will always be her Daddy, I don't think maintaining a physical relationship is good for either of us and we have agreed on that.  Through a few tears.

 

We still talk/message pretty much daily.  Have lunches or coffee.  She still wants to sit in my lap and cuddle.  I think that is ok as a transition.

 

I don't think I am asking for advice, because I know stepping back and letting her try is what I need to do.

 

I've had to let other younger girls go before.  Both GF's and subs.  And have maintained friendships and even met a couple of their husbands.

 

I have had other D/s relationships, but this was the first one I would really identify as DD/lg.  I have loved it.  No matter how sweet and considerate I am to her she returns it double.  Just a wonderful girl with a pure and beautiful heart.

 

Just tossing this into the wind of the interwebs and this forum.

 

I'm sad to lose her but so glad I have known her.

This post speaks to me and I feel your pain. Im an older Daddy who has only had one little, a younger girl. Who it seems as if i have to let go. We have been together quite awhlie.

 

Our circumstances arent quite the same as yours, but not terribly far off. For the past year she has been my girlfriend, my little and my companion.

 

Life is a journey, full of joy and pain. Its a rich tapestry of colors and textures.

 

Be strong, and be well...

My little (still not calling her ex) seems confused.  She says she still needs me.

 

We still talk everyday.

 

I've decided to just be me and let her figure things out.

 

But I have a strong feeling that she will be back.

 

It has to be her choice.  I could be wrong.  If I am that's ok.  I'll still cherish her even if she isn't mine anymore.

Keeping in mind that I don't know everything about the two of you I would say that she loves being with you and the dynamic of you two but she wants something that can grow more, you having a family means that you can't grow a family with her, she may be wanting more possibilities in her future?

[DaddyCue109]

That's a very valid point. And the reason I was so quick to step back and let her go explore.

 

I won't push her one way or the other. I've had time to think this through.

 

That's why I am trying to be a friend. But let her make her own decision

I've just read through this topic and I just wanted to offer my well wishes and I hope everything works out for the best for you

 

You seem like a very level headed man with great patience and love for your little girl..... I obviously don't know either of you but deducting from how you've dealt with this situation you deserve her respect for working through this with her as so many would have not. I'm hugely reliant on loyalty so if it was me in your situation I'm not sure if I could of handle it so well.

 

I really hope she finds her way back to you.

 

Sending hugs ♡
