3. I've told Daddy everything but not liking his new sub. I'm keeping that to myself and trusting he will be able to make he best decision about her for himself. How I feel about her personally doesn't really matter, does it? She's not my sub or play partner.

4. implicitly. I couldn't stay with him this long if I didn't. I don't trust her. I think she's playing with him.

Thes are very important issues for both you and for him.
He needs to know your feelings otherwise he'll be thinking everything is hunky-dory and all Ok - when it clearly isn't for you.
For any relationship to work, be it vanilla, kink, poly or anything, requires clear communication from all concerned.
You aren't being clear to your daddy and that's not fair on him.
You are expecting him to make the right decision with only half the info.
You need to fess up with him or walk.

But telling him I don't like her will make me look petty and jealous. Why would I want to do that? I'm trying to give this a chance. Maybe I'm wrong about her and she will be willing to give up the other men for him, or Daddy won't mind and he will accept their arrangement for what it is. That really isn't my call or my decision. Right?

No it doesn't.
It shows you are concerned for the well-being of the relationship.
Not just for you, but for everyone involved in it.
If he can't deal with you bringing it up, the relationship is doomed because you'll forever be walking on eggshells.

As Oside said, poly only works if everyone is open and honest, otherwise it is guaranteed to fail.
Her question is a very valid one: how can you NOT tell him??
He needs to know so he can address the problem.
Without that info, he's shooting in the dark.
That really isn't fair on him.
In essence, you are lying by deception - and that isn't very nice.

Don't wait until next week.
Call him and tell him up front so he has time to digest it so you can both be prepared to talk about it.

Because I haven't liked any of the girls he's talked to and this is the first one since we've been together that he's been intimate with and called his sub other than me. He likes her obviously. I'm not going to be the reason he doesn't, he needs to make that decision. Not let my jealousy color his opinion of her. I did tell him what she told me about the other men because I don't keep secrets from him. He needs to decide if he will accept that or not. It's not my call.

Aquanerd1983 Some I will take at face value, you I will not because you do this time and time again and sometimes, not all the time, I mention when I can be bothered. We are not all oblivious drones.

I agree with FD and OG,

You are willing to tell the world about your emotions but you don't want him to know.

I’ve never had a poly relationship where I haven’t known and really liked the other woman. Friendship as a threesome is very important to us all but that’s probably why I’ve never felt jealous, threatened or left out. You don't have to do it that way but when you don't, its likely doomed to fail.

Like someone else said here, poly is about absolute openness. I wouldn’t be just talking to him about how I feel, I’d be talking to the both of them in the same room at the same time and if either of them felt the same way about me I would expect the same open discourse.

This doesn’t sound like poly to me. It sounds more like a one ended open relationship where he takes a lover and you believe, to be a good submissive, you have to put up and shut up. You’ve got a long way to go before you can call this a poly experience.
