The thing that bothers me about this scenario, start, is the deceit. I've heard 'poly' brought up a couple of times, but the thing is, "poly" requires disclosure and honesty among all the partners, so this -isn't- poly. I know that many s-types consider their relationship sort of like dating, and it seems to me that it is not inappropriate to be uncomfortable when a person that one has dedicated a portion of one's life to starts making it clear that he has another life and that person A is not welcome in that world. I -am- poly, and I could not only never -do- this to one of our servants (even though it is made clear from the beginning that I have no romantic involvement with our servants), but I couldn't do it to myself. I find it ethically impossible to deceive myself about the relationships I've chosen, or to deceive others about the relationships I take part in. Were it me, I would bring this issue up. I would ask him what your relationship will be with him, in regards to this girlfriend. If he is so uncomfortable with himself and his life-choices that he feels the need to hide you away and sneak around on his other companion(s) as well, I don't think that he is ready for the responsibilities of -having- someone who yields even a portion of her life to him, but I wouldn't presume to make that same decision for someone else... so what you need to do is get a straight answer from him about how long he anticipates this deceitfulness to continue... and then ask yourself whether that is something that you -realistically- can expect yourself to accept. If you decide -yes-, then you'll need to also embrace the realization that cutting you off and keeping you hidden will be part of your life of submission to this man for the term that he's decided on (temporary or permanent). If you decide -no-, then you're going to have to also embrace the realization that this means having to start the search for someone with whom you can have the kind of relationship that you -can- accept.
