How Successful have you all been in sharing your lifestyle with friends?

But, hey! Wasn't Jesus' mom kind of technically polyamorous?

Just askin' here...

(This is so tongue in cheek that my cheek hurts.)

If the holy family were members here, Joseph (username: HumanHubs), would be trying hard to deal with the fact that his wife Mary (username: NotAVirginNow) had a child with another entity without even talking to him about it. He had no idea she was even talking with the divine being (username: TheLord). He loves the little boy (nickname BabyJ) but is very unhappy and confused about how this all came about. Mary would be all 'but it's not cheating if The Lord says so!' and totally discount Joseph's hurt feelings. Joseph would be also confused and conflicted about how a Dom in a relationship with a married woman should act (tip: don't use TheLord as a dominant role model, definitely a boundary pusher - see that whole thing with Eve. Talk about being set up to fail!)

We would totally tell them all to slow their roll, build back the trust between spouses, poly is not for everyone and cheating is rarely a good way to start a poly relationship. Also that TheLord entity is acting rather entitled. Really, savior of all mankind? That's not a good reason to intrude on a relationship without full consent of all involved.

Best. Post. Ever.

Can I quote this brilliance offsite?

Opalescent, I am so glad I put down my drink before I read your post... I don't know if my computer could have withstood the laugh-spew.

opalescent, that was beautiful. I'm not sure I would have included that in my thesis defense at the Pontifical Institute, but it was convincing enough for me.
