moonmazed posted:thst sounds even worse than the one where the poly people's partner died and they stole the wife's house here, everyone sounds like they're at least treating each other decently, but the collapse of any one of these sub-relationships has the potential to set off a legal chain reaction that logjams the entire US court system until 2029

I'm mostly just curious what the two women living in the same neighborhood, but not in the same house, actually think of each other. Do they just not want to combine households because of all the kids, or is this a V-shaped thing where they're both into the dude but not into each other? Did they move from the same place 1000+ miles away, or did they converge on this guy?

Monopolygamy: when one person is in a relationship with multiple partners but all major assets are in the one person’s name only. Subs may unionize to counter this.

the important thing to remember about these poly trainwreck stories is that everyone involved is 50% more repulsive looking than you’re already envisioning

So the woman who wants to have a kid with the guy won’t be living in the primary residence? Is one woman going to be designated as the mother of the group while the other two run off to have fun?

There was an old joke in E/N about how most poly relationships end up a traditional relationship or two people living together and having sex while a third person happens to pay their bills.

I'm glad it turned into a reasonable discussion but next time the subject comes up I'd appreciate if people don't throw around terms like "religious extremism" and "loving nuts" when talking about someone keeping kosher.

AITA for disrespecting my future MIL after she gave us advice?quote:So I (27M) have been dating Paige (27) for four years. She’s amazing, smart, dedicated and a wonderful person I’m excited to start my life well. Paige had a difficult childhood because of her mother Robin. Robin bounced around from guy to guy and Paige had to follow as she never knew her dad. Her mom has been married and divorced 4 times, with her last husband being a great guy I really liked. Robin cheated on him, took half the stuff (Robin doesn’t work), and is now dating Troy. Paige knows her mother is flawed but still loves her and for some reason respects her. This caused me to have some doubts about me/Paige’s relationship because I feared she was gonna end up like her mom. I expressed concerns about getting married because of the experiences Paige’s mom put her thru and how it affected Paige’s view on marriage. I also feared Robin would encourage Paige to cheat if things ever got hard (her mom is a serial cheater and has tanked all of her marriages). We went to couples counseling over this and to get myself more comfortable with a possible marriage. Me and Robin have always had a very tense relationship, I just think she’s a lovely person and she thinks Paige deserves better.

A noticeable lack of Paige condemning her mother’s lovely relationship behavior. The wording makes it seem like she’s made general noises of disagreement but behavior shows almost full endorsement.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for disrespecting my future MIL after she gave us advice? When someone tells you who they are believe them. At best her mom is going to be a pain in this guy's rear end for years. At worst Paige's mom has managed to brain poison her and she is going to cheat on him within the first year.

I don't think they literally mean he 'has to', but when you marry someone you marry their family as well, so if he's serious about attaching his life to his gf then yes, whether he likes that or not, MIL comes with it. That said, you don't have to play into their politics. If his wife won't at least respect he doesn't wanna be around mom to humor her and keeps making it a Thing that he needs to play the child role she's gotten used to playing, yeah I dunno how you'd get away from that outside of divorce.

AITA for wanting to drop out of my friend’s wedding?quote:I (20f) was asked to be a “replacement” bridesmaid for my friend ‘s (23f) (we will call her Katie) wedding. I was excited to be a part of her wedding until I learned more and more. I was pregnant when she asked me to a part of her wedding. Since I have joined 5 people have dropped out due to her attitude and high expectations. Well Katie is upset because of everyone dropping out and the amount of people she has kicked out. She wants everyone to drop everything this year for her wedding. She kicked one personal attendant out for getting engaged.
