Family's Reaction to Woman's Throuple Relationship

Mickey and Joel, a couple who have been together since high school, have opened their relationship to include Jaida, forming a throuple. The idea was initially proposed by Mickey, who is bisexual, suggesting they find a girlfriend to enhance their relationship. After some initial hesitation, Joel agreed, and the trio began exploring dating apps to find a suitable partner. Now, a year into their unconventional romance, they shared their experiences on the YouTube channel Love Don't Judge, emphasizing that their polyamorous lifestyle has not affected their faith. Despite their happiness, the throuple has faced significant judgment from others, particularly Jaida, who revealed that her family reacted harshly to their relationship. She described feeling shocked when her family labeled her as "ungodly" and noted the strain this has placed on her familial relationships, largely due to differing religious beliefs. Jaida expressed her sadness over the distance created by their disapproval, stating, "I do miss my family and I do still love them, but right now we're all keeping our distance." The couple's experience is not unique, as other throuples have also encountered criticism. Alana, Kevin, and Meghan, another throuple, shared their own challenges, highlighting that fear often drives negative reactions to non-traditional relationships. Alana remarked on the need for understanding and acceptance, especially when people are confronted with lifestyles that differ from their own.
