You meet the perfect guy, find out he’s married – then he asks you to join their relationship. That’s what happened to writer Zachary Zane.
Carolyn walks into my bedroom, dressed in a bra and bottoms, while I’m hunched over my laptop, trying to do some last-minute work before bed. “Hey,” she says, squeezing my shoulders. I reach over and hug her. “So,” she says, pushing her hair from her eyes and biting her lip, “I’d really like to sleep with my husband tonight. Would that be OK?” “Sure,” I nod, as Jason lazily gets out of my bed and kisses Carolyn.
Wait, WTF? Let me back up. Carolyn is the wife of my partner, Jason. The three of us have been living together for nearly six months, in a polyamorous relationship. Carolyn has a serious girlfriend. Jason and I both go on dates with other men. While I don’t see myself as in a ‘relationship’ with Carolyn – we’ve never had sex – she’s now one of my closest friends. And I know it may sound complicated, but I’m happier than I’ve ever been – even if it means that I sometimes have to sleep solo, hearing Carolyn and Jason having sex next door.
