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.
How modern…… Id be horrified. And offer my full support.
Anything else risks alienation and you can’t do anything for her if she kicks you out of her tent.
You will want to protect her from heartbreak, but you can’t do that. And I dont necessarily think a poly heartbreak would be any worse than monogamous heartbreak . Just keep her close and help her navigate her feelings.
However I would not let her get away with an unannounced extra guest. That’s just rude ./s
