I always thought that a poly group marriage sounded really complicated, but Joyce has been telling me about the relationship train wrecks that various members of her family have been having while pretending to be monogamous, and now two husbands, a wife, and a wife-in-law seems downright simple by comparison.

Moral of the story: If you are not being monogamous, don’t pretend! (And if you can’t be good, be careful, and if you can’t be careful, try to keep it down to five or six verses.)

believe it or not, my spice and i are NOT the most complicated crew in my immediate family!!!

f'er instance, my baby sister (monogamous) is now in hawaii with her (3rd) husband, his 2 daughters, her 2 stepchildren from her 2nd marriage, jessica's fiance (he just asked her to marry him), jed's girlfriend with her son (and she is pregnant), and my 2 nieces...

(and 2 of her three step-daughters are named jessica)

and you can get anything you want at alice's restaraunt (exceptin' alice)....

hell...i'm down to two husbands a wife and a step-wife...and other than that monogamous... (when i was theoretically monogamous i was rarely without a lover or two....i don't have enough energy to have lovers anymore....

mono is not necessarily evil....but it's not for everyone.

and [livejournal.com profile] tigertoy i don't think you are a second class anything.
