My wife and I have recently decided to open our hearts, and our relationship to a new family member. A sister wife if you will. We discussed how amazing our relationship is, and how lucky we are to have such a happy home. We talked, and talked, and talked about all of the possible benefits and repercussions. We discussed boundaries. We considered equality. “What about date nights?”, we asked each other. Can I love two women, I wondered, even said it out loud... A few times. Could another person love me the way my wife does.
After all the discussions we decided to give it a try. I said to my wife that I would leave the ball in her court, because honestly, the thought of approaching someone and saying "Hi, would you like to date my wife and I?" seemed outright ridiculous. She immediately considered a friend of hers she’d known for years. She thought she would be a perfect choice considering she was beautiful, productive, honest, and loyal. She hadn't had the best luck with relationships, and my wife believed she deserved to be loved and appreciated for who she was. My wife approached her and laid the whole scenario out to her. Unbelievably she was interested in talking with me, and seeing if there was a connection between the two of us.
I was obviously nervous, but decided to text her with absolutely no expectations. We have talked every day since, and the relationship between the three of us is growing every single one of those days. We all three talk about our individual interests. We share some interests with one partner, and other interests with the other. When we are having a rough day there are two people there to offer support. When we are excited about something there are always two cheerleaders in our corner. When we are feeling inadequate there are two people who love us unconditionally. Twice the love, twice the support, and twice the cuddles.
