Can an Owner be "Unfaithful?"

On an M/s - TPE discussion board, this question was posed:

"How many slaves here are fine with their Master or Mistress screwing around (i.e being unfaithful) with whomever and how many are not?"

I believe it would all depend on what you mean by screwing around. If you mean would I be okay with my owner sneaking around to have sex in a deceitful manner behind my back then coming home with the evidence of it plain as day and telling me I'm next, then I don't think I would be fine with it. It wouldn't make me happy, however, my options as his slave would be very limited.

I could beg to talk about it. He could either indulge that or not. Regardless, the ultimate choice is that I either accept it, or cease to be his slave - no matter how "wrong" I may think it is. The latter would be quite difficult as my owner has made it very clear to me that leaving is not a valid or permissible option. (Before anyone cries "abuse!" please ask me about what the above means in our relationship)

If my owner wants to have sex with someone else then that is his right. I didn't surrender with the condition, "unless you sleep with someone else, etc." But rather with the intention and the goal of making that surrender to him as absolute as possible in today's society in the manner which is pleasing to him - even when its difficult as hell.

If my owner wanted to sleep with someone else without my presence, I think he most likely would tell me about it. (He has no reason to hide it - after all, he is the owner) Then he would either do it or not, depending on a bunch of things - one of those things being how his property feels about it. He considers my well being in all of his choices. That doesn't mean, however, that what he feels is best for me is the same as what I feel is best for me. That is what makes the relationship so bloody difficult sometimes. He gets the choices and he gets to decide when I get to make the choices or not.

I always have to keep in mind that I put my life in his hands because I truly believe in him and I have given him my implicit trust to do what is best for me. If the man who owns me behaved in the above manner in which you described, I would do my best to believe that his choices were made with the best interests of the relationship in mind - even if he decided that I would not be privy to his reasons or how it served us. It wouldn't be easy, but I would do my best.

It is a difficult scenario for me to picture though, to be honest, because while my owner does seek another slave, he is seeking to find one to be a part of a family - one where the entire relationship is greater than the sum of its parts. I am a firm believer that when it comes to jealousy, it ain’t easy - but it can be dealt with and managed so I continue to serve and will continue to serve. Even if that means I serve at his feet with a harem of other women. (But they all have to be 5'9'', voluptuous, with red hair and large assets - every one of 'em *grin*)

I think that (to me) being "unfaithful" implies stepping outside of personal integrity and compromising the original principles of the relationship to seek selfish pleasures. In that case, I wouldn't want to belong to a man who was unfaithful. Not necessarily to me, but to the relationship itself that he crafted, orchestrated, and set the parameters for. That kind of inconsistency and dishonesty is not something I would want to be any part of. That is why I spent so much time getting to know the man that I begged to own me.
