I’m usually the first person to support decriminalized vices because ultimately enforcement is uneven as hell and the people who want booze/hookers/drugs/poker/whatever bad enough will end up funding organized crime and that has a TON of negative externalities. Plus makes it harder for addicts to get help.

But drat all this poo poo being on phones is going to be really bad for some people. Having to drive to the local dive casino or get your scratchers at the gas station is one thing but when it’s just constantly there, on your phone, a device that realistically never leaves your side in your waking hours?

Ooooooooof

[Help] Guidance/Awareness on Potential Triad Poly Relationship

[Help] Need Guidance/Awareness on Potential Polyamorous Lifestyle

[Background] The relationship would consist of the following: - 3 adults - 3 current children - 1 planned child - 2 separate households but will be in the same neighborhood - Will live in the state of Georgia

Person A - Is male - Currently has 0 children - Currently makes $150K in annual salary - Has never been married - Currently owns 1 home with plans to buy 1 additional home - Will live in House 1 (primarily)

Person B - Is female - Currently has 2 children - none from Person A (both are from different fathers) - Child 1 and Child 2 belong to Person B - Currently married and about to divorce - Previous husband lives in a state +1000 miles away from Georgia - Makes $50K in annual salary - Will live in House 1

Person C - Is female - Currently has 1 child not from Person A - Child 3 belongs to Person C - Would like to have 1 child with Person A - Currently married and about to divorce - Previous husband has had many legal issues, and lives in a state +1000 miles away from Georgia - Makes $50K in annual salary - Will live in House 2

[Structure - Living] - Person A would split time between House 1 and House 2 via weekly rotation - Person A will pay mortgage of House 1 and split mortgage payment of House 2 w/ Person C - There will be no traditional/legal marriages between any adults involved

[Structure - Finances] - Persons A, B and C will have separate banking and retirement accounts - Person A, B and C will contribute 15% of salaries to retirement accounts - Person A, B and C will each contribute $50/month to stock investments accounts created for each individual child (each child will receive 1 $50 investment per month) - Persons A, B, And C will each contribute $400/month to split between “Family Accounts” (Family Emergency ($200), Family Leisure ($100), and Family Travel ($100)

[Rules - Allowed] - Persons A, B and C are free to express themselves sexually with other partners - Persons A, B and C will get tested bi-monthly for STDs

[Rules - Not Allowed] - Persons A, B and C are not allowed to create other families/children outside of this core family - Persons A, B and C are not allowed to bring outside sexual partners to the home (that could be a potential safety issue for adults and children - must go book hotel room)

[Questions] 1. What needs to be known legally? Is this type of poly relationship in danger within the court of law compared to other types of poly relationships? Are there benefits to this type over others?

Can this structure of relationship jeopardize the custody of children for the women? How can this be prevented? Are their lawyers who specialize in helping legal poly relationships that can consistently be briefed on the healthy structure of the relationship in case custody/legal battles ever occur?

To reduce these risk to outside interference from legal or people, should the title of Home 2 be in Person C’s name? Or can it stay in Person A’s name? (Would be preferred to stay in Person A’s name)

For safety reasons, should Persons A, B and C notify each other their location/what hotels they will be if/when they are with other sexual partners for safety reasons? Is this too much policing?

Without you knowing the personalities involved, would you say this structure is a positive one? Any suggestions for improvement?

Any other tips/advice/feedback is welcomed. Thank you so much for the help!

Georgia does not prohibit having several sexual relationships at once, or raising your kids with the help of another adult. By the same token, there will not be any legal recognition for this relationship - you will be as three roommates who gently caress sometimes.

That means that if one of your triad breaks "the rules," all you can really do is separate from them. If they co-own the house, that could lead to a significant legal battle unless they're willing to sell voluntarily. That joint account is also a potential risk - a good cohabitation agreement can set expectations, but if the account grows large, it may be worth negotiating towards splitting some of it back out into individual portions.

Incidentally, this mirrors my feelings on the ubiquity of internet porn and how it's so easy to fuel that particular addiction, since you don't have to drive to a casino or call up your dealer. When the poo poo is right there it's too easy to give in. Difference being that one is far more likely to dump their last dime on mobile gambling than mobile porn

Extreme "What could possibly go wrong?" vibes.

Just everything... from:

- One already married to someone outside the triad.
- 3 kids with people outside the group.
- A "joint" retirement account that person 3 contributes 15% of income to, but has no legal access to.
- Two houses that are split multiple ways.
- Trying to move out of state with children of divorced husband into a poly triad house outside of custody agreement.
- "Previous husband has many legal issues"
- Legally mandated bi-monthly STD tests
- Giving the title and mortgage on a house to different people to "give everyone a stake" in the house.
- Already planning on trying to have another kid with the woman who isn't divorced yet before this plan is worked out.
- One person is paying for 1.5 mortgages on houses they don't own.
- They rotate houses every week.
- The houses are not next door to each other.
- They haven't even bought the second house yet.
- Setting up a hotel fund that everyone pays into to take outside sex partners too.
- Having to ask "Is Bigamy a crime in Georgia?"

Are three person trusts not allowed? That seems to be the easiest solution to get around actual polygamy. I don’t think it would cover children, but you could set up something that more or less covers everyone financially.

I just saw an article about 15 minutes ago that claimed that, in a study of 3000 US adults carried out in December, the share of BNPL payments for grocery purchases was 0.2%.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:

that is honestly lower than i expected

BNPL grocery purchases are a time honored tradition; your local grocery would usually extend you a line of credit and you would settle up accounts later. this was common at least through the 1950s

These days you have shitloads of credit providers like Klarna who just get integrated into the store backend, if you watch daytime TV in the UK you'll see an ad for at least 1 quick credit company app every ad break. It does still make me laugh when I'm buying something cheap through Paypal and they ask if I want to use Paypal Credit for it.
