Recently our 17-year-old daughter introduced her boyfriend to us over dinner. He came with another girl which we initially thought was a common friend. No, that was actually his other girlfriend. Super nice girl, very pretty. That dinner was awkward to say the least. My husband already doesn’t like him due to this whole poly thing. I just don’t understand how our daughter could be okay with this, no matter how good the guy may be.
Well, just another kind of non-traditional relationship. If it’s consensual between all 3 of them, then how I feel about it doesn’t matter. It may be a harmful relationship indeed, but it also may not. Just like any other relationship.
But, the more you show her that you are not okay about her being in such a relationship, the less she’ll tell you in such case. Plus it is also harmful on its own.
