What would be hard on the kids? Be specific. Lots of definitive statements with zero evidence to back it up.

By romantic you mean sexual I assume since you’re getting your own kids. So would I become someone’s live in mistress, and raise their illegitimate child in their household, with their wife as mu “friend” until she wanted me gone and got to keep my child 50% of the time? No I would not.

Depends on the people. Do I love and trust them and have an interest in building our lives together? Or have I met them on Craigslist as I was searching for a date?

The former? In a heartbeat with the right paperwork and agreed upon boundaries. The latter? Batshit.

Are you that desperate?

DP. Everyone has the sister wife fantasy. Basically an au pair you don’t have to take care of. I’m beginning to think I might want a brother husband though… especially if both cook. If I was in love with both, all the better. I can multitask.

Kids making fun of something is not really a good reason not to do it.

I could get with a different husband for different purposes.

I suppose this is reasonable, but at the same time many people have met their spouse on craigslist including people who have kids from previous relationships, so long as proper vetting takes place not so sure how you meet matters.

If you want that, trust the people involved and have a strong relationship, go for it.

These are valid points. But why do you assume the woman is a victim? How do you know it wasn't the woman pushing for this?

Societal norms and experience. I can't know. It's not an assumption but a worry. Could a situation like this work? Sure! But who is generally seeking this. Not necessarily healthy people. More likely exploitative people.

I can think of 3-5 categories, but true I don't know of any guys who would go for it.

But how many of these people do you actually know?
