Dating a system

Hi all, I was dating the host of a system for 7years but recently broke up, about 2 months after breaking up I started dating an alter in the system we will call her B, and then a month after that an alter that recently went through the process of finding themselves completely like their gender etc confessed he liked me from the moment I met the hos( but I didn't know she was a system until 4 yrs in) and loved me for the last 3 years, we will call him D

Now I'm 3 months into dating my girl B and 1 month into dating my man D, and I absolutely wouldn't change it for the world

The things I struggle with is :

Still being very much inlove with the host but she won't date me again for as long as I'm with the others- which I understand she's not Polly and I'd never make her do that. I just feel like a shit person because I don't see myself not loving B and D

Not seeing D for days at a time as they are a gatekeeper/ Liberian so they are busy with system stuff daily

Leaving messages for B and D and the host seeing them and it makes her upset

I see B nearly everyday as she's Co-host and is up when needed, which is good

Now I know what happens in the system affects all because like they all have to live through it together as a family

We have been trying to find a way where we can create each alter in there an avatar but not sure where to start

I feel as if sometimes I can't leave messages for them because of the way it affects the host because I know she is inlove with me still too

I just found out that B and D want to propose to me which melts my heart

My question really is how does one manage not seeing their partners in the system much?

What are ways I could communicate with them I have an app on my phone of the system that I thought about leaving them messages there instead

Like I miss them both deeply but I understand how a system runs due to the amount of research I've done into DID so I'll never be upset or blame the host for when I don't hear from them for a while either

Alters sharing the ways that help them cope

Okay so I'm just looking at some advice on how to help alters process trauma and like wanting to see if having like a discussion with others alters in the system and how they process their own trauma would be beneficial?

I was dating the host of the system, and she struggles to be able to process or cope with daily life or her trauma, and I know inside the system the alters are always working on their own trauma they have, and part of me was wondering if they shared how they process/deal with their trauma and trigger could it be helpful for the host

I am dating 2 others in the system and I watch how they handle life and everything like that and I just want the same for the host as all I see is her struggle every day
