i have been serving as a submissive for fourteen years. Most of my experience has been poly. In my opinion, it is Your Dom's prerogative, how many He will own or train. i don't believe it's my place or yours to judge if this is right or wrong but the issue at hand, how do you find your way to acceptance? For myself, i had to assess the "programs" in my head. Initially, i had the same reaction as you. i think everyone does, naturally, because the conventional concept of monogamous love is so ingrained and indoctrined, i believe it's one of the hardest concepts to overcome. But take a moment and examine jealousy. What exactly is jealousy? As a previous post stated, it's simply insecurity. What are you afraid of? As previous poster stated, being replaced? Not getting enough time or attention? Both of these answers reflect lack of trust in your Master and your situation. So...if you can really dig deep and acknowledge that you DO trust your Master, make that your mantra, when you are lying awake at night worrying about it. Reprogram yourself and your reaction to these feelings with rational thoughts. Jealousy can be overcome. It's just a matter of feeling secure and then trusting that. More food for thought: where does this monogamous idea of love come from anyway? As children, do we feel that our parents will love us less they have another child? It is easy to accept non-monogamous love in that way. How come? Are you a mother? Could you love more than one child equally? Or a pet owner? Have you ever had more than one pet a time? It doesn't seem unreasonable that you could love, care for and manage more than one without comprimisng the love you had for the first? i think it's also natural that our brains tend first to the negative on this one. For example, we immediately see this situation as, the glass half empty. My Master working with another will take away from my experience, i will have less of Him bc i have to share. OR The glass is half full. My Master taking in another will mean that i will have two people in my relationship, two people to share with and love and be loved by. i am not sure if you are going to be involved in His training of others or not at this stage, but even if not, making your Master happy will only make your experience better. My advice is, try to reprogram your thoughts to putting Him first and not your feelings (for now.) Maybe in time, after you give it your best shot, you will determine you are monogamous. Poly is not for everyone. But you have to try at least, you might surprise yourself what you are capable of. Further to that, you may find the poly aspect to be more rewarding than you ever imagined. What my fourteen years experience has taught me, is the mind is very malliable, if you are willing to really try. i think i've said enough here. lol. Good luck and if you have any questions about what i've said or want to discuss one on one feel free to contact me directly. :)
