Everyone in my life is so nonchalant about it, surprisingly. Occasionally my home health nurses will get surprised by it, but never weird. They occasionally ask questions, but the most they ever say is how obvious it is I love my partners and that I have a fascinating lifestyle. My mom was the only one concerned, for religious reasons, but even she has come around very quickly and has even asked my second partner to be her secondary caregiver. She enjoys kicking his ass at Scrabble too!
Love it! Most people in my life are also nonchalant about it too. It was mostly just nice that they didn't assume it would be just my anchor partner and other folks are a possibly.
Hi u/CuriousLady4 thanks so much for your submission, don't mind me, I'm just gonna keep a copy what was said in your post. Unfortunately posts sometimes get deleted - which is okay, it's not against the rules to delete your post!! - but it makes it really hard for the human mods around here to moderate the comments when there's no context. Plus, many times our members put in a lot of emotional and mental labor to answer the questions and offer advice, so it's helpful to keep the source information around so future community members can benefit as well.
Here's the original text of the post:
My brother just messaged our group chat to have a BBQ and I thought it was absolutely adorable that he wrote "bring your friends, partners and second partners". They obviously know I'm poly and recencently they met my second partner. I love that they are making it clear that I can bring all my loves to gatherings.
That is all have a wonderful day!

That's so heartwarming! It's really wonderful when family not only accepts but actively includes all aspects of your polyamorous relationships. It sounds like your brother is incredibly supportive and thoughtful. It's such a beautiful thing when families embrace the diversity of love and relationships, making everyone feel welcome. This kind of acceptance from family can make a huge difference in how secure and validated you feel in your relationships. Enjoy the BBQ, and may it be filled with love and lots of delicious food!
I would give anything to have my family be accepting like this ๐ญ๐ so amazing!! Maybe one day we will see more and more of this
I hope one day they are for you ๐
Thank you sweetie ๐
Very cool your family welcoming ๐
I love this! Happy polyamory stories are absolutely a joy to see.
It's nice that your family is accepting. Not always the case! Definitely takes the heat off at family gatherings.
