Miss Manners love

via kightp and polyamory:

Dear Miss Manners:  I am struggling with the invitation list to my child’s confirmation. Some of the potential invitees are members of a “poli” family. The man is married to one woman. They live with a second woman. While I have not ever inquired about their bedding arrangements, I believe she is romantically attached to the wife. There is a third woman who dates the husband but lives elsewhere. [...]

So, are the four of them a package deal? Can I invite the husband and his girlfriend? Just the girlfriend? How do I introduce them to my family?

Gentle Reader:   Since you admittedly do not know the bedding arrangements of this interesting assortment, you are spared the temptation of enlivening your child’s confirmation by explaining their relationships to your relatives.

You can invite only the married couple, only their household, only one or both of the single ladies, or the whole group. But in any case, you introduce them by using their names. Miss Manners is sorry if this disappoints you.

Can I say how much I love that woman? I must subscribe to her feed, now she has one (it's always been one of those sites I've dipped in and out of).
