Awesome its their life !Though in practice would be difficult to sustain as emotions jealousy etc would creep in also what happen s in stage two..kids?..in today's world with divorce rates being high in monogamous affairs dunno how this would fare..
@romell If I was in that position, especially with possible jealousy, or bitterness, I would be totally upfront from day 1, and explain that whatever comes up, let's talk it out and not keep any secrets, because the whole secrets thing is when stuff starts falling apart. But then I'd be like, okay let's figure out a good way to do this, so we all have even amounts of time together, and if that person is honest, and I'm honest, then in theory the basics of that kind of relationship *should* work out.
In reality, there's going to be something that comes up, but I'm the type of person who just wants to work things out peacefully, rather than have fists and knives going everywhere.
