he claims he would choose me, but i have my doubts
He's already chosen her.

He left you for two weeks and only came back to you WITH HER PERMISSION. (you were on;y together for two weeks before he did this, are you sure they were split up?)

She is the person in control of the relationship.

Allow me to put you in her shoes for a moment: Your boyfriend leaves you for two weeks to go play with a freaky kinky girl. Then comes back to you because he loves you soooooo much. But, he wants to have the plaything on the side to get the kinky out. You're now presented with another woman in your relationship who is giving him something you can't and it's something that you view as wrong. Do you accept that person or do you exert your control over the relationship by making everyone aware of how you were wronged?

I have found the most wonderful Dom.  He has taken me places I have never gone before.  But.....

Here's the story in a nut shell:

We started playing and getting to know each other over a 2 week period, we were both really into each other and both had the same wants and desired in a relationship.  Everything seemed to go swimmingly.... then.... The ex non BDSM non sub/slave girlfriend came back into his life.  The one he left because he realized he needed a sub because he is a Dom (and some other issued).... I was ignored for 2 weeks... I felt horrible because I didn't know what was going on. 

He finally explained everything to me and I understand... he admits he screwed up and handled the situation very badly...but... would I like to join him and his now non-ex in a poly type household, because he still really wants me as his sub.  His non-ex is open minded and has played kinky before, but wants him all to herself, however she also understands (begrudginly) that he needs/wants a sub in his life, me.

We met for the first time and it went horribly... she was so angry at the situation.  We tried playing together and it was so empty feeling... The only one who really enjoyed themself was the Dom.  He apologized afterward saying he thought it would help matters if we played and see if we could all get along... I want so badly to be with him and am very open to trying to get along with his non-ex, but if she doesn't want to get along with me and will put up a hissy fit everytime what can i do.... i know i couldn't stay in a relationship like that (drama every time he wants to see me).... he thinks she will get over it in time... I feel I am fairly good at reading people i call it my sub sense... i don't think she will get over it... i think she will make him choose and i will be the odd person out... I feel so confused, frustrated, anxious, but at the same time hopful that things will work out so i can be with him....

I really just needed to vent, feel free to say what ever... i feel like i'm just fooling myself that things will work out and i will get to stay with this Dom.... however i'm terrified in the end.... i won't.... i do feel like a complete fool


Why wouldn't he enjoy himself?  He got to have the best...in his worldview...of both worlds:  his submissive and his vanilla girlfriend playing while he watches...he got to beat one and caress the other...he got to have sex with both...and too clueless (sorry but that's the way this "diminant" strikes me) to pick up on the bucketload of tension between the two women in his life. 

Sorry but, in my opinion only, he has already spoken volumes to you in several ways:  the vanilla girlfriend comes back and you get ignored, he apologizes and offers to make it up with a 3-some...with one of the partners involved begrudgingly, he allows her to move back in and you are living where?

Cut it loose and pick up the lessons you have learned...hopefully...and make it more clear next time you get involved with a possible poly partner what you want and expect.

Flush the toilet on this fuckin' deal, end of joke.

He may want you, but she don't and ain't never, ever gonna get over it, she will make your life a living hell, she is a cunt.

I have been here, a little over 2x the issue, tho.

In fact, when it comes to between women, the dominant is a bystander, he don't even count.... if you girls don't get along, it don't matter what the fuck he wants (oh, and fucking trust me on this) women are heineous infighters and that man and nobodies relationship will survive this.


Really......

ummmmm some things that Ron says may be 'charming' and his 'views' on women make me want to find a sneaky cyberspace submissive way of smackin him upside his head, BUT i totally agree with him on this one. the Master in question (from what i've read) has handled this clumsily from  the start (IMHO) and some things that are broke just can't be fixed no matter how many whips, tears and superglue.  you apply. to the OP i hope you find the strength to leave hon. being alone is tough yes, but damn its gotta be better than constant mental anguish.

That's not how I read his post that the master handled it wrong.  I read the post that women are cunts.  Two different things.

hmmmm apologies giveeverything. in my mind i'd separated Ron's post from the original, just didn't express myself clearly. when i said i thought he was right i was referring to not the 'cunt' comment but what he was saying (in his wonderfully sometimes extremely abrasive and sometimes rather funny way) about the two women and the situation they find themselves in. hey i would have phrased it a lot more delicately but doesn't mean his words (or rather the sentiments behind the words) cant hold some truth.

No problem.  Although, misogyny as humor is so 2007.  Plus I think it speaks to how people read this scenerio, as two catty women (or the bitchy ex-non ex) instead of the integrity of the relationship that has (yet to be) formed.  Just my thoughts.... but then again I like women....

I am of the sort that says life works like this; you live life as you find it.

It was not my purpose to assign a blame to anyone, I am just telling you where the situation lies, and what is sure to be a certain outcome.  And I am not attributing denigration to the moniker 'cunt'.

It is what it is.

im confused....is being a cunt a bad thing today?

edited to add....im a female and have great female friends, but rons right.....we all have the capacity to become a mega bitch about some things.......accepting that rather than denying it was a great step in me understanding me.

to the op.....you know the answer to this, youre just not ready to listen to the voices in your head yet.

I didn't think so, most out here would tell you that men are dicks, both have certain generalized attributes that when considered on the whole does not often lead you down the wrong path.  Individuals may vary, but; when in rome, then it must be a duck.

Really......

Ron 



I think that Ron's making a very good point here, though I would argue that the whole triangle was set in place by the Dom and this is very important to remember.

I've just spent about two hours today with my actresses who are appearing in one of my plays on this very issue and they've been reading the thread and postings and we've discussed it at length.

The play is however different. It takes place in an office, the guy in question isn't a Dom, he's a sub, and his wife is a Domme and she's working as his secretary. However unknown to the Domme he's been playing with a female submissive for quite a while, himself the Dom, and what happens is the female submissive comes unannounced into the office and forces him to confess in front of his wife.. at gunpoint.

All might seem well as the Domme is bi, but the female submissive is strictly hetero.

The guy wants both, but he can't have both because the two women won't get on with each other. One wants the sub and the other wants a Dom, and to each of them their relationship with him comes first.

I'm not going to give away what happens in the play, but this is what came out of the discussion. In such a situation both the women are going to want to know that their relationship with him comes first, which sets up a conflict between them.

This isn't a poly relationship situation (except in the mind of the Dom perhaps) where both women knew right at the start there would be another woman. They were both led to believe that they were entering monogamous relationships.

It would be very easy to apportion the blame here and point the finger and decide who is to blame for this situation developing. If only life was really that simple. But could it not be seen that each and all of them carry some degree of responsibility for the situation which has developed?

Here you have a guy who is claiming to be a Dom, but who has a vanilla relationship with another woman, who - in discovering that her man has been seeing a submissive woman appears to be perfectly happy that her relationship with her man is still vanilla. Then you have a female submissive who has met this 'wonderful Dom' who is so wonderful he cannot bring himself to share his interests and needs with the woman with whom he shares a vanilla relationship, and she is still convinced that she will be the leading female simply because he calls himself a Dom.

So instead of being responsible and open and honest with the other person in the relationship they would rather cobble together in a sort of unhappy, imperfect threesome.

Bearing in mind, of course that at least one of these relationships originated from the Internet, where so many other people are looking for relationships.

However I disagree with Ron here, as I feel that it isn't gender specific, and if the situation was reversed with a Domme and two men then you might find the men in this situation acting like a couple of divs as well.

But this is where it starts to get confusing. Relationships - moving on, moving around, person to person. All of a sudden you're in love, then a week or so later you're not. One minute you're alone, then the next you're with a 'wonderful Dom', and then with the next person, even sometimes before they've split up with someone else, or maybe later on their friend.

It kind of occurs to me that maybe you should invest some time and make sure that you're with the right person to begin with - it saves a lot of heartache.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people can just get involved in play or with playing with their own and other people's genitals but somehow just can't bring themselves to talk about how they think or feel. Sex and play is easy, but getting together a proper, stable relationship? This seems to be much more of a challenge.

Maybe it's just me. I don't know. Go fuck around with other people if you like, but why not be honest and just say it's that? Why start putting emotions into it and using people or lying to them?

If the other person feels something you don't, or they don't feel what you feel then why not end it, no matter how much it hurts?

Why keep on trying to force it? Love cannot be made. It's found, discovered.

BTW this isn't addressed specifically to the OP or anyone else. It's just an observation I'm making after reading some threads recently. I'm just sharing these observations to maybe give some people out there something to pause and think about.

This isn't Wal-Mart or e-Bay, you're dealing with people and their hearts here.

Stella - WOW!

You have made some excellent points. I particularly commend the paragraph reminding us that the situation was not discussed or conceived ahead of time - it was just sort of sprung on the parties. Things that surprise us are going to elicit a reaction, and many times the reaction is instinctively negative. Sometimes we can work through the negative reaction to a positive result, and sometimes we think about things and retain our negative feelings.

I hope that made some sort of sense.

I'm going to offer something a tad different than the "get out nows."

Most women are understandably not into sharing.  You are the competition!  While it may be an uphill battle at first, if you want to keep things going you will need to convince her that you are an asset not a liability.  I would suggest trying to forge some kind of friendship between JUST you and her.  While she may be too pissed off for this, it's the only thing I can think of.  Also, if you are very into service, maybe approaching her in terms of offers of service might appeal to her more than an awkward play date.  For example, offering to wash her car at the same time you do your tops, etc.  Or trying very hard to make her life easier.  While this may not be your long term relationship goal, it may do a lot to change her perception of you. 

I mean, really, you are the bitch that took her man.  Until you prove you can be something else - friend to her, etc- her attitude won't change.



Are you sure about this? Oh right, so as a submissive you're not fit to be in a relationship unless you're serving someone right, like washing someone's car?

The OP did actually state that the GF came back into the Dom's life having previously been ex. So how can the OP be a bitch who took her man?



I was discussing how the ex might view her, not what the reality might be.  Service may or may not be her thing.  If it happens to be, it might be a way to attempt more of a poly solution than just leaving.  That is, if she doesn't want to leave.

To clarify my point, I totally would be out of that mess personally.  I was trying to offer some other ideas should she decide she really wants to try to try again with this guy.  The situation is a nasty mess, but I like to believe people can sit down and work things out if they all have reason for staying.

There is absolutely no reason to stay. The other woman, the "vanilla" wants him to herself and will be a fucking wolverine about it. He's a hard dick for her. She left him, he's pined over her, and she's back. OP is fucked. Plain and simple.

He's made his choice.
OP can be a smart adult and come back and tell us she's left and working on getting her shit straight. Or, she can come back and whine some more about the horrid situation.

In any case, this thread is on rinse and repeat. Same things being said over and over. The short and sweet of it is for the OP to...

GET OUT NOW!
