ORIGINAL: GoddessSpitfire Hello there, I am asked a question by many people and I wonder the same thing myself. Why are you dating a Dom? So I thought I would come here and start a thread and see how many other Dom/mes are dating Dom/mes. Do you each have your separate subs? how does this work out for you? any advice on this situation? I have never dated a Dom before and I am having a hard time coping with not getting my way all the time. Any and all input is appreciated. Blessed be Spitfire I've been in a household with multiple dominants (with and without romantic relationships between us, including marriage) for almost 15 years. Our servants are collared to a "house" collar, but it is acknowledged that it is human nature for both sides of the kneel to have their individual preferences... however, for our servants, not preferring a particular dominant member (or even disliking that dominant) does not mean that the servant can refuse a command... in the same way, whether a dominant member of our household -likes- a given servant, xhe is still responsible for the well-being of that servant. So far, this has worked out well. It existed for about 5 years before I became part of it, and now it looks like it will survive beyond my departure as well, since personal circumstances are requiring that I relocate, but the rest of the household can't make the move within my time-frame. It seems to me that the thing that makes these kinds of alternative scenarios work or not work is the commitment of the individuals involved to that particular decision. If someone isn't committed to the way things are being done, it is difficult if not impossible to get that person to do what is necessary to keep things intact... so I'd say that it's fine to have relationships that include multiple dominants (and multiple servants and any other permutation) as long as everyone involved is dedicated to the concept and household structure being built. Every relationship has struggles at times, and it takes that commitment to see those rough times through -- if anyone is on the fence or -actively- adversarial to the process, there are -going- to be problems that won't be able to be resolved, no matter -how- committed everyone else is.
