Never Thought We Would Be In A Three Way Relationship

As a college senior I became pregnant by my college boyfriend who was already working. He was too friendly with a coworker, which I reacted to. Little did I know that when I became pregnant she did too.

He had to pick. He said we needed to pick. Of course we each picked ourselves. Flip a coin? Pick a card? He procrastinated while we got bigger and bigger. I was petrified of having an out of wedlock child. So was she. We though that he could marry one of us, divorce her immediately, at least that way we were not 'unmarried'.

What we did was not legal, he married me in my home state, he married her in Lake Tahoe. She agreed not to push it, not change her name immediately. The babies were both recognized by him, they both got his name.

We lived in separate addresses, but spent all free time together. After awhile we just moved in together. We passed ourselves off as 'friendly girls'. Neighborhood wise, that's what we were, and after some time that's how we lived publicly. He kept his marital privileges, spent weekends and holidays with us. We 'managed' his apartment living conditions.

At some point we no longer role played, we did what needed to be done when it needed to be done, lots of chores we did together. Our center responsibility were the children. Slowly, ever so slowly, we stopped being 'strangers'. At some point we stopped caring. At some point we were acting out what we had pretended living.

We are both still married, he 'insists'. He also pays the bills, he 'insists'. It's okay with us.
