Question
Hi my name is marie I am married but also a slave to another man. My master is married as well. Neither of our spouses are aware of our m/s relationship. We both want this (the m/s relationship) very badly but the problem is we have very little time to spend w/ each other &I our both jealous of the others situation (marriage/spouse) is it possible to make this work or should we part ways? I should mention we are both very much in love w/one another & that fact seems to "get in the way" of our m/s relationship because of our jealousy

Answer
Ack!

Well, I know of a stable structure here in Austin where Master and slave are married to others, BUT both the spouses know all about it and all four of them show up at most parties together.

I can't imagine how this will work out for you for two reasons...

First, your spouses will find out eventually and probably be seriously unhappy.

Second, you may come to realize that your M/s dynamic is more important than your respective marriages.  My second wife and I both went through divorces to be together.

Jealousy is likely to work against a long-term relationship.  You'll have to choose M/s or marriage, I suspect.  However, every relationship is different and you can't comment on them from the outside.  All I can offer are the perspectives I've written.

Hope you can get this sorted out.
