I'm in a happy, stable relationship with my husband of 10 years. We have two little girls aged 3 and 6.
I'm poly, he's not. I initiated opening up the relationship, he was fine with that. I fell in love. He gave me free reigns. That was two-three years ago, nothing came from that (the guy was not interested). Except from the fact that we grew stronger and I became more sure I'm poly and my husband became more secure that this doesn't threaten the 'us' aspect.
So I've been seeing a man for a while now. I have fallen in love with him.
Anyway. All specifics aside, if things were to develop to a triad with me as a hinge where we all live together, then HOW do we explain that to our families? I mean my mother-in-law would not appreciate this one bit. Or mother-in-laws... (God,TWO of them... ) How do you change from your regular nuclear family who never saw this coming, to a whole new layout of family? Say I'd like children with the 'new guy' (poor guy, how would he ever shed that tag?!)... Has anyone done it?
