ORIGINAL: queensweetangel Question to the Doms/Masters: If you added an additional sub/slave who was much wealthier, would you allow her to become the alpha for that simple fact? Queston to the sub/slave: If your Dom/Master added an additional sub/slave and she was wealthy how would you feel if he let her become the alpha over you because of that simple fact? If I were with the right person for me, someone with whom I had a loving relationship then I just cant see any valid reason why I'd need or even want someone else, or why they should. To me it says that the relationship is wrong, even though I realise not everyone thinks like me and there are successful poly arrangements going on out there. To make such an addition purely on grounds of wealth - what that says to me, is that the person making that choice must be shallow. And to turn that addition into a replacement on the same grounds, even more shallow. It will come across as a series of platitudes perhaps, but honestly, I would sooner have love than money. Money does not bring happiness - it may reduce misery, but it doesnt bring happiness. And the love of money, well we all know the quotation I'm sure. One cannot live on love either of course, so money is always a consideration, but better to have enough and have love, than to have overmuch and no love. And money does not buy love and neither can it replace love. The problem we as people have I guess, is that whilst money can be reckoned up, and equated to physical possessions, love cannot. Love has no exchange rate, no material value by which we can measure it. Too often it is only when we have no love, that we realise it is priceless. Your ex is maybe learning this now. So QSA, I believe that even with the deep hurt you have suffered from this episode, you have emerged with all the honour, and I hope you have managed to recover all the wealth you need, because you retained the ability to love and be loved for who you are, not what you have.
