I think the only thing I took exception with, from the OP was the idea of the sub/pet/slave being "second fiddle". Now, of course there are situations, households and dynamics where indeed he/she would be. But that definitely wouldn't be describing mine. I've been with my partner now for going on 16 years, so yes, in some cases he certainly does take precedence. However, I would say that in 98% of cases of time, attention, importance of needs and wants, I hold both people as equal. Sure, some days one may get a bit more attention than others, but it seems to even out in the long run. I am, of course, not upset by the wording the OP used, as it could easily be construed in many relationships as just that, one being less important (for lack of a better phrase at the moment) than the other. And again, in some cases, that is how it actually is. But no, not all poly/ds relationships are like that. Hell, thinking about it, in my household, with myself and my partner doting upon my pet, he seems to get more attention than anyone else. ;) And then there is always the issue of the "secret sub". The "one on the side", that the spouse doesn't even know about and vice versa. That leads into areas for which I have nothing short of contempt and contempt. But that's another story for another day. :)
