I'm currently in a long-term romantic relationship and living together with a well-known erotic hypnotist. I'll try to give as much info as possible without making it too obvious who I'm talking about.
A little about me, so you can understand my perspective. I've known I was a sub basically forever, but this is my first bdsm relationship. I stumbled across femdom hypnosis quite a few years ago. It was my first taste of feeling like I was actually submitting to another person. I started binging hypnosis files. Hypnosis itself wasn't a kink for me, but it was a method to explore my kinks and feel like I was actually being dominated and giving up control. Over the years, I went through several phases of binging hypno files alternating with losing my interest in it for a while.
We started dating around the time she first started experimenting with creating hypnosis files for fun, before she was making any money off them, still working a full-time vanilla job. We met online, I messaged her after finding her profile on a dating site. We started realizing pretty quickly that we fit together perfectly, both in terms of kink and vanilla couple stuff. I'll try to keep it to the kinky stuff though, otherwise I'd make everyone reading this gag at the lovey-dovey sappy-sweet crap.
Our relationship isn't a 24/7 kink relationship. She does tend to be bossy, and we are both very into bdsm and play on a regular basis, but we do a lot of typical boyfriend/girlfriend stuff too. Our relationship is girlfriend/boyfriend first, domme/sub second. I don't address her as Mistress all the time, I don't sleep in a cage or anything like that. I work a normal vanilla job.
She knows me better than anyone. She knows how my mind works, and can frequently tell what I'm thinking by looking at me. She understands my kinks, not just in the sense of "he likes bondage so I should tie him up," but on a deep level. She understands why I have them, how they work in my mind, what I really want to get out of them. She's the first person I've ever really felt comfortable talking about my kinks with in person, and she helped me stop being ashamed of them and accept myself. I'm still not really "out" as kinky though. Some of her friends know about our dynamic and the whole erotic hypnotist thing, but most of mine don't.
Our kinks align very well. Hypnosis isn't actually her biggest kink either, we're both more into typical bdsm: Bondage, beatings, all that good stuff. We don't do long in-person hypnosis scenes often. That said, hypnosis is still a kink we enjoy. She is very good at getting in my head, and often adds some hypno/dirty talk/psychological mindfuckery to our bdsm scenes, and does impromptu short hypno sessions. Also, sometimes she adds some "tactile sensation" while I'm listening to one of her files.
She enjoys manipulating me, and she's really, really good at it, whether or not hypnosis is involved. I've accepted the fact that she can manipulate me into whatever she wants, because I trust her completely and know that I would be OK with whatever it is she's manipulating me into. The line between dirty talk and hypno is a bit blurred, because we've been together long enough that when she switches to her dirty talk voice, it's kind of a trigger for me.
