Dear Amy: Our son and daughter-in-law, married for about six years, recently dropped a bomb on my husband and me.
You may define marriage as monogamy until divorce or death, but as people explore their freedom to redefine the boundaries of what it means to be married, they may choose “ethical non-monogamy,” which is where they remain lovingly married, but are free to engage in other romantic relationships in a way that they believe is open and honest. They don’t define this as infidelity. It is about consensual relationships.
Take a breath, do some reading about polyamory, and understand that you define marriage one way, while they define it differently.This is their life and their choice, and if they want to remove the taboo surrounding polyamory, you should discourage them from defining this as a deep, dark family secret.
How do I get out of this and get away from them? Does this make me a bad person because now he has cancer?Keep your boundaries in place. It is easy to let calls go to voicemail and to dodge texts, if that’s what you want to do.
