dear prudie: My Sister is Polyamorous and Pregnant. Now What?

Posted by Diva (aka Diva) Mar 21 '14, 08:56

My Sister Is Polyamorous and Pregnant: My sister Julia recently told our family that she and her husband Jake are in a polyamorous triad with their best friend Tony. The three of them have been together for as long as Julia has been with Jake (seven years) and all of their friends know that, essentially, Tony is Julia's other husband. They decided not to tell our more traditional family (with the exception of our brother) until Julia became pregnant, as she is now. She does not know whether the child is Jake's or Tony's, but both men plan to raise the child equally. Our brother claims they're an amazing set and that Julia has never been this happy. My parents, my husband, and I are more realistic and feel queasy about the arrangement. I cannot imagine how their child will feel, growing up with half siblings (Julia plans to have children by both men) and with their mom sleeping with two men. I don't know how they will provide the children of this "marriage" with stability. My husband doesn't want Tony around our children, even though Julia has asked that we now treat him as her husband in addition to Jake. I love Julia but am nauseated by her lifestyle choice. I think eventually it will end disastrously. How can I support this?

Don't worry, there's still time for one of them to die and become a zombie before the baby is born. - Ender Mar 21, 09:38
Many kids will have just one parent. This kid will have three parents that love it. How is that a bad thing? -- nm - Walt_Disney Mar 21, 09:28 3

  - It's hilarious that those types of people don't want the pureness of man-woman marriage to be ruined. Yeah, because no one ever gets divorced. - Shaun Mar 21, 09:04
  - ik, r? relationships of all kinds either stay together or break up. Period. -- nm - Diva Mar 21, 09:03
