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.

    Polyamourous relations are a thing. If your daugther is okay with it and happy, that’s all what matters.

    Why is it a big deal ? Many guys have relations with multiple women at the same time but just hide it. I’d rather live in a relation where the exclusivity/polyamourous thing is discussed before. This can’t be a good judgement criteria, since if he was a cheater, your husband would see a loyal, monogamous boy and would appreciate him more but, in secret, the daughter’s boyfriend would be a complete bastard. 🤷
