The night I found out I was going to be a mom I sat down next to my husband Kevin, clutching the pregnancy test in one hand and holding his hand with the other, the three minutes waiting for the test results felt like forever. I think in that span of time I felt every emotion known to man: happy at the possibilities, mad that I had thrown up the steak and cheese I made for myself earlier that day, anxious to know the results, and of course scared beyond belief. My husband has always been someone I could see myself building a family with. We were together for three years, but I knew on our first date this was a man I could spend the rest of my life with.
As the test turned from the little hourglass into a sign that read ‘Pregnant: 1-2 Weeks' I looked at my husband and began to cry. I couldn't handle the wave of emotions that came over me. As for him, he was thrilled to be a dad. He's always been the type whom you could tell wanted to be a father since they were younger, as he was always taking care of those around him. That's just his personality. He's always thought of everyone else over himself, even at this moment when he was glowing with excitement he asked if I was alright.
I gripped his hand tighter and nodded while continuing to cry. I was happy. With his next breath he said, "I can't wait to tell Sarah." And in that instance I knew I had the perfect partners to start a family with. Sarah is my girlfriend and together she, Kevin, and I were about to begin a new journey as we started our family.
I'm sure that sounds confusing, so I guess it is best I should start from the beginning. From the moment I met my husband through our mutual friends, he and I spoke about how I've never really believed in committing myself to one man or one woman for the rest of my life. I was upfront from the start that I am polyamorous and he accepted me for all that I am.
For those who don't know, polyamory (or 'poly' for short), to put it simply, is the belief that you can love more than one person. It has no religious base. It is not some weird sex fetish. It is just the word that describes thousands of people throughout the world who choose not to limit themselves to one person for the rest of their lives. There are many different forms of poly relationships; some people have as many as 5 different partners at a time, but for me I could only see myself being with one man and one woman.
Thanks for catching that.
Um, where I come from a committed relationship only has two people in it, not three.
More than two is looseness.
That guy is doing a happy jig.
Or is that racist?
Rather, Islam codifies all forms of perversion including polyamory, sodomy, wife eating, child murder, etc.
Har!
What did I just read?
I’m thinking about a bitch with big litters. Think about the tax deductions.
This article sounds like a country song, me and my husband, we need a wife.
The polyamory people absolutely despise being represented like this: husband/wife add GF. They refer to the gf as a unicorn, a mythical creature. When most couples decide to experiment, they usually go looking for another woman.
Nobody in their right mind would enter into a relationship where all the rules have previously been negotiated and they’re the third wheel.
What you have left is people not in their right minds accepting such gigs. Take a husband and wife, add a crazy woman, and see where you’re at in a year.
Unicorn.
And yet, this is how the media always depicts them. It’s actually deliciously ironic.
"Heather has two Mommies...AND a Daddy!"
"I think it's very bad taste when, under my eyes and those of my fiancée... ...my wife puts on an immoral exhibition with someone young enough to be her son." -- Walter Matthau, The Cactus Flower
“I was in a committed relationship with two people—and then I got pregnant.”
So was my I, me and my wife, and then she got pregnant. I still claim we did it correctly.
How very convenient, I would, however choose two females....one my wife, responsible person, good cook, raising our kids....and a mistress, kinky sex, no responsibilities whatsoever except to try whatever I could think of.....what could possibly go wrong???
Before it is all over there will be a million man wedding.
Any man who lives with two women in this manner deserves everything he gets.
(Remember that kings of old used to have concubines; Mormons had mulitiple wives; and the Islamists allow up to four wives. Which part of multiculturalism are we seeing exhibited? Is this sexist or "liberating" ? ...Who ever knew being PC could be so confusing?)
Well, that could be very interesting!!!!maybe two at a time!!!
Where are you? We need your wisdom on this thread!
At least the kid will know the father is one of two men, not one of many like that BLM joke Shaun King...............
Words other than polyamorous spring to mind - whore, gigolo, slut, boy toy, degenerate ..........
“Sarah was nervous, of course, and afraid that Kevin wouldn’t like her but I knew that wouldn’t be the case. Needless to say, they hit it off. Sarah not only clicked with me, but Kevin as well.”
OMG, can two women be THAT naive? Assuming the guy is amoral, he probably thought he’d found paradise.
