anyone else in a poly relationship?

[cakeymccakington]

new to it all and fancied a chat with people who have btdt!

I was desperate to know how it worked out and really pleased that it has You and MUS must get on well with Shelby's partner?

So does this mean all 4 of you are "together" in every sense of the word?

How lovely, that won't confuse your children at all

It's funny, someone else earlier on said they could "imagine [this thread] 20+ years ago being about a same sex relationship."

Your comment 50shadesofknackered reminded me of that again - I wonder how many people used to say "how lovely, two mums or two dads raising kids, won't be confusing at all!"

Yes it will prompt questions because it's not within the normal confines of society (just as it wasn't 20 years ago very common to have gay parents raising children as a family unit), but who is to say that it won't in fact be very lovely indeed for all concerned?

Pleased to hear it's all going well OP. And presumably congrats on the new(ish) arrival!

How many partners are you allowed to have if you wanted more?

shelby sadly split with her long term partner a while ago.
She still lives in her own place but spends weekends wit us.

The children adore her, including the new arrival :-)
No confusion thus far! Children are, generally, far more accepting and less prejudiced than most adults.

How many partners we have is however many we feel happy with. Obv there are discussions to be had around this and other people's feelings would be taken into consideration. I don't think any of us are feeling a desire for any extras right now though
