I am now 54 years old, and just starting to explore my submissive side. I've always been submissive, but never really fully realised it, or did anything about it. I'd open doors for ladies, walk on the outside of the footpath, the usual things I associated with being a gentleman.
This really was the tip of the iceberg though, and looking back on various experiences, I really was a lot more subservient than I realised. I would defer to my female partner on the majority of issues, not simply for an easier life, but because she made better choices.
I'd ask her advice on what to wear, how to dress - and it was all leading in one direction, becoming more submissive. We were married over 20 years and did try some D/s play, but it was never satisfying for either of us, it turned out she was more submissive than I was.
We parted ways around 8 years ago, and are still fairly good friends. We don't go out as such, but having raised children together, there are occasions we are together.
I've finally found the courage to explore my submission, which has become a growing need as I've gotten older. Hopefully, it's not too late
