[quote=Anonymous]Poly doesn’t mean you’re queer, although some cis het people label it under that umbrella. Maybe there’s something to be said for that because it’s still not a very accepted relationship dynamic. Way more people will accept you’re gay than non monogamous. As someone who is poly and has always been very careful about how it’s affected my child, I guess I’d be biased and say that doesn’t have to be true. I know a few families with ENM parents and kids who seem to be doing well. But it’s also a choice that’s out of the mainstream so I think it can attract people who might otherwise have parenting issues.

As an outsider, there’s no way to comment on your sister’s relationship. A lot of people try ENM and find it’s harder than they thought. There could be drama because it’s a new relationship—I assume? So there might be high highs and low lows. In the end, if you’re with anyone long enough—even with multiple relationships, that stuff goes away and while it does take more communication, it shouldn’t be super stressful.

Ultimately, I would stay out of it and withhold judgment. One of the most difficult things about being ENM in general is that many people (myself included) are in the closet because we do face so much judgment. We aren’t allowed to have any problems in our relationships because people will blame it all on being poly. [/quote]
