Married couple divorce to prevent their girlfriend getting jealous

That's funny - what does an abused kid look like, exactly?

a reply to: Abysha

I think it's as simple as "what's normal to you is normal."

If you happen to be in a polyamorous family then that's normal to you. If not, then that's what is normal to you. If the kids are happy and healthy and taken care of, I'm not sure why it matters if "mom and dad" are mom and dad, dad and dad, mom and mom, or mom mom and dad.

What goes on in other people's bedrooms is their business and I've yet to figure out why some folks are so obsessed with what other folks do in their bedroom.

i wonder what mormons think about this

That they can sleep with as many women as they like, even live with them.

Just so long as they aren't married to any of them,

Everything would be right as rain.

Poly relationships are becoming more common from what I've seen. I'll be honest it's not a big deal to me if it works for them. But why on earth they needed to make money being filmed about it, idk, ya got me there. Having 3 or more parents doesn't exactly qualify as entertainment worthy to me.

They say it takes a village....the kids have an extra person caring for them.
Might not be totally normal, but kids are very adaptable.

One of the most important things to me, that my family has always said to one another, and drilled into us as kids- We are a tribe, it takes a tribe to raise baby and we are all here for you, and one day you will be here for us. I'm 25 now, they've been here for me and my son and his father every step of the way, and we for them and my younger siblings.

It's so true on so many levels!

It's interesting how, in one thread people discussed sexual harrassment, and the general consensus seemed to be that it was wrong to even as much as ask someone out or make eye contact. That even to compliment a person could be mistaken as a sexual advance, etc, etc.

Yet we happily promote promiscuous lifestyles. So dad's a horny chap with an insatiable libido and both mothers are bisexual. No big deal...you...you're right.

And no, I don't read the bible.

a reply to: HeathenJessie

Promote? Hardly.

Mind my own damn business since there's no obvious indication of abuse or neglect? Yep.

All day long.

How do you mean, limited?

Limited in the same way it plays out any time there's an equation involving freedom vs security. Polyamory grants the freedom to pursue love when it happens while monogamy grants the security of expected cultural norms.

I don't think either is best for everybody. It depends on the person. I happen to be really great at monogamy but I also enjoy the freedom of polyamory. I'm happy doing either and some are miserable doing one vs the other.

Does he realize hes the third wheel and on his way out the door. Soon he will be getting is own place lol.

But they agreed to do an interview which was filmed and uploaded to YouTube. I posted it to start an interesting discussion, you remember that element of ATS where folk discussed interesting things?

I get that you think you come from a place of righteousness right now, but take stock of what you're actually doing. You're firing off at me demanding to know why I'm interested in this as if you come from a position where you are not interested...yet you're all triggered and snappy.

If you don't think it's an issue why you even responding to this thread?

Very interesting.

And no, I don't read the bible.

Sure you don't you just like to judge people.

Don't conflate polyamory with promiscuity. It's no more a license for indiscriminate sex than monogamy is.

As in not perverted or corrupted, perhaps. Do you think it's a healthy environment for children?

So long as none of them are abusing the kids than sure , why not?

a reply to: thesaneone

And as for 'this country' ...

...what country are you even referring to? You have no clue what country I'm in...sorry to break it to you, but almost every thread on this site is people discussing and taking an interest in...or as you so eloquently put it - getting involved in others' business.

I didn't get involved, someone else made the film and they happily agreed to be interviewed. Is that alright, mate?

You nailed the hell out of that.

Lol.

I don't have a problem with their choice, you do.

a reply to: Abysha

Limited sexual promiscuity.

a reply to: HeathenJessie

Psst, don't get butt hurt when you put this non story in the pit.

This is considered normal now, didn't you know?
