Part of what got me into wam growing up was dealing with divorce being a common thing i was going through in my neighborhood and just thought about how wam got me through a lot of it. I also was thinking how wam can bond people together within a context they are both totally in love with
I've divorced twice. An obsession like WAM can complicate relationships. If indulged by one or two partners there's no going back in the closet.
My own parents stayed together (now both sadly dead). I have children of my own (mostly grown up, now). Divorce is more normal now. I don't think the stigma is quite what it was when I was growing up in the '70s and '80s. For people a generation back from that in England (especially the religious working classes) it was virtually unthinkable. I think secret adultery was the only way LOL.
There's so many people who keep their kink hidden for decades, I wonder if that stress and unnecessary feeling of shame contributes to divorce. Having a kink talk early in the relationship can prevent heartache in the future.
