Polyamory will be the focus of today’s narrative. The Daily Mail covers this story from Central Valley, California, in the United States. It’s about Alexis Watts, a woman who believes in polyamorous relationships. She has a supportive boyfriend and a loving husband; she is currently pregnant and claims that her polyamorous lifestyle has enhanced her marriage and made her happier overall.
Alexis Watts and Christopher Watts are married; they met at a swingers gathering after Alexis’ first marriage ended in disaster. Alexis is 28 years old and Christopher is 35 years old; they’ve been married for four years and are very much in love. Together, the couple has four children. In addition, Alexis has an anonymous boyfriend in the image who is supportive of her.
Christopher has other ladies in his life, but he is devoted to his wife and children. Alexis and Christopher are both polyamorous, meaning they prioritize taking care of one other before moving on to their other lovers.
Alexis’ boyfriend is married as well. Nobody is kept in the dark about their polyamorous lifestyles, and they’re all aware of it.
Alexis declared to The Daily Mail:
“I always felt as though something was missing in my first marriage. I had more to give and I was fighting polyamory,”
“I started swinging and met my husband where we spoke about polyamory and it was like magic, it just made sense.”
“My boyfriend meets needs my husband can’t. For example, he’s a therapist so we have deeper conversations.”
“In fact, we weren’t intimate for a very long time because our emotional connection was so strong.”
“People think polyamory is about $ex, but it isn’t, it’s about relationships and having more love to give,”
“We’re not walking around in red heels and lipstick trying to take your partner, we only want consenting parties.”
“We get jealous, we’re human and it’s a natural emotion. It doesn’t have to be a bitter and defensive emotion, it’s how you deal with it that’s important.”
“It’s made us grow as we learn how to communicate around it. It’s essential to identify what makes you jealous and what you need from your partner. It’s quite therapeutic.”
She also discussed her boyfriend’s role in her personal life, saying:
“My boyfriend is involved in my kid’s lives but isn’t responsible for them, he’s more like a fun uncle.”
“Even his wife loves my kids and helps us look after them, she’s so excited when I bring them round.”
“They don’t have kids yet but when they do we’ll help them as much as they help us.”
“We’re like a huge family so the added support that comes with polyamory makes the pregnancy easier.”
She also commented on the polyamorous lifestyle, saying:
“My family are supportive, they were confused and wanted to make sure it wasn’t a phase at first but they’re on board now.”
“I lost one set of grandparents but that wasn’t due to polyamory, it was because my husband is black.”
“We want to teach others about the lifestyle and make it more accepted.”
