So, hi everyone. My name is Jess. I'm a 26-year old woman who is married to another woman. We'll refer to her as Curli. We got married (in November. Then, shortly after we married, we fell in love with another couple. The other couple consists of a woman, Hecate, who recently discovered that she was gay, after being married to her husband Tiberius for 10 years, and having four children. So it's us, a lesbian couple, and a "bi/hetero" couple with four kids.
We met and clicked and it very quickly became romantic. We originally thought it would just be a sexual relationship between me, Curli, and Hecate, but we embraced our relationship with Tiberius.
We love their family. Their amazing children love having Curli and me around. We do dinners, and game nights, and small holidays together. We all sort of fill in what our original partners can not. I am emotional and silly. Curli balances me by being the responsible one who rarely gets emotional. Hecate is the emotional silly one, and Tiberius is the responsible, less emotional one. We are balanced by our original partners, yet we have found similar souls with Hecate and Tiberius.
I really wish I could explain how we fell into this. It just sort of happened. One day we all sort of looked at each other and couldn't imagine our lives apart. We love each other so much. But that isn't to say there aren't issues.
Hecate and I are extremely close and passionate, as we're practically the same person and offer each other a very emotional relationship. Our partners are busy with work and supporting us (separately). We don't share a house or our incomes.
Hecate just had their fourth child. We met during her pregnancy and now have a beautiful infant among us. Things have been stressful, which makes sense. A pregnancy, a baby, nerves, everyone finding their places.
I think Tiberius feels left out because Hecate has recently discovered that she is more attracted to women than to men. I think Curli feels left out because I have found my emotional counterpart and Hecate and I are so close.
I am feeling the strain of being in love with someone who is being pulled in multiple directions. Hecate is the mother of four, a wife, a girlfriend to me and Curli, and she works.
Our relationship is unbalanced because they have children. We've fit ourselves into their lives because we have less holding us down. Our lives now revolve around their family, and less around our younger friends without kids.
I love our family. I love this life. But I crave for there to be a balance, and quite frankly, to have what I want without having to worry about being dictated to by Hecate's children and Tiberius.
Realistically, the longevity of this scenario is... slim. But we want to do what it takes to make it work, to have two families that meld. But I have to admit, it's hard not to be selfish. I often wish I could steal Hecate away and have time alone without having to worry about making Tiberius jealous (which he isn't really, but with the baby here he's been pushed to the side). Or without making Curli jealous. (She isn't really either, but with her work schedule, Iam often left to spend lots of time with Hecate.)
I feel sort of alone here. I know people have poly relationships, but blended poly families?! Crazy. Anyone else in a poly family?
