Re: SOs, Fetishes, and You!

(Anonymous) 2014-03-31 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I think the issue in your case is less that your SO had creepy fetishes and more that your SO seemed obsessed with said fetishes. Obsession is, generally speaking, unhealthy. But, apart from that, focusing on certain fetishes when a partner lacks interest in them is rather selfish. Successful relationships involve give-and-take and an understanding/appreciation for the other individual's likes and dislikes.

That said, when the likes and dislikes of two people diverge to a sufficient extent, the relationship cannot work, and needs to be dissolved. This may have been the case in your situation.

Either way, the "others" are wrong. You gave this person enough of a chance to see that it wasn't going to work, and you ended things on good terms. You don't owe them anything else. And you don't owe the "others" anything at all.
