Mentalist has hit it on the head.. it is our responsibility, as Dominants, and as Household Heads, to preserve the harmony. This does NOT mean saying "I'm the damn boss and all that matters is that you do as you're told"... it means paying attention to what's going on, making sure that everyone is getting what they need, making sure that we communicate our needs too, dividing responsibilities fairly among the family, making sure that the strengths of each member are utilized, and the weaknesses compensated for.. there's a LOT to it. Combining Poly and BDSM is complex, but at the end of the day, it's the interpersonal relationship that can make or break the entire situation, so sometimes the D side has to take a back seat to the Partner side of Me, so that I can interact properly with both girls in a responsible and caring manner. It is said so often it's nearly becoming a cliche, but the reality is that communication and honesty can make your life SO much easier.. and then the "why would you want a third person around" becomes self-evident.. in our case, it's because she's a wonderful person, a loving partner, a giving and caring human being, a magnificent lover with both of us (physically and mentally), and someone that we feel makes our life a more wonderful place than it already was. She's a companion, a partner in crime, a fellow voyeur, and she understands and loves us as we understand and love her. "Why"? Because it's such an amazing feeling for all 3 of us.
