It works by setting your children up for destruction as they never experience the level of stability that you threw away for your licentiousness.
How do open relationships work? They don’t.
They don’t work. They’re not relationships.
Work for children? If you can’t be committed and faithful to your spouse, you are hardly someone who is going to be loyal to your own children...fidelity is part of being a responsible parent.
They could tell their kids, "We would feel terrible if we forced you to bear the guilt of knowing that, out of concern for you, we were forced for pass up our opportunity for personal fulfilment."
That puts all the responsibility on the children and lets the adults continue to feel good about themselves, which is really all that matters, right?
Not to mention the potential dangerous diseases that can be brought into the family from the outside. STD’s are through the stratosphere in this new milieu of sexual anarchy, and you are playing with fire by playing around in an open sewer.
Most of these couples are admitting that they are NOT telling their kids, at least not the small ones. They know inherently that what they are doing is wrong.
Well, that's something. They'll have to tell them when they split up, though, as philandering couples always do unless there's a political reason to stay together.
Anti-family Marxists promote this crap.
^this
“after an argument with her husband one night, she stormed out of the house and found herself in a bar.”
There’s nothing like going straight out of the frying pan and into the fire to solve your problems at home. /s
Really bad idea.
"what's most important for children is that they are getting their emotional needs met.”
Negativity around non-monogamous relationship structures comes "mostly from mono-normativity, which is this idea that anything monogamous is the natural [and] the best way.”
They haven't told their son they're non-monogamous, because "the ins and outs of our marriage are irrelevant to him"
“Even as we were just kind of dipping in our toes, I felt like I needed to keep it a secret. And secrets usually suggest shame."
“It's not family structure or relationship structure that determines [what's] harmful to children.”
“As he grows older, we will share with him …that love can look different for everyone."
Doesn’t this all sound familiar from about 10 years ago?
If they’re doing it away from the home and coming home at night do the kids have to know? They don’t have to find out with emails and discreet texts.
Not approving . I’m just saying it works for Bill and Hillary. Those people are out there.
Hey kids, for the last time, keep it down. Mommy is riding her friend from the bar. You’re making it awkward!
Evil is the word to describe this behavior
Now let your imagination continue the story.
Regards,
It’s always children who suffer most.
why would they tell their kids anything???
It’s nobody’s beeswax-no one needs to know your personal business.
As if it were totally random, and she might as easily have ended up at a McDonald's or a used-car lot. Sure.
