My name is Megan and my future daughter-in-law convinced me into writing this story with the hope it would help others.
I am not a writer, and this is not a sex story, but more how I went from living one way, and had many different life changing obstacles thrown at me and I am living happy now.
As the title says "Triad Relationship" so there are no surprises that is how I end up but how did I get here as I write this in May of 2024 at 48 years old.
Some background, I grew up in a very catholic family going to church all the time, I was a pretty girl, looking back at pictures, I dated bows but all in the same way as me from very catholic families so nothing sexual and only kissing. Hell, I did not even masturbate.
I went off to college a very naive girl, and I met Luke right away going to a church service at college, Luke was a junior and we hit it off having the same interests raised the same way. We both were very alike waiting until marriage for sex, but that was until one night we made a poor choice and had a couple drinks at party and had sex back at his place, 9 months later Mary was born.
My family disowned me, and Lukes family was very distant to us for a couple of years until they saw we were for real. I dropped out of school and Luke stayed enrolled, and we were married before Mary was born. So, before I was twenty, I was married, with a child, and my family who I loved had disowned me.
After Luke graduated, we moved to a nice town where Luke had a job lined up. 2 years later Luke received an offer for a better job, so we moved again. At this point Lukes family was talking to us again, once they accepted, we were for real and helped us out, so they were well off and gave us money for a downpayment for a nice house. As we moved into the new house, I already had our 2nd kid, a son Spencer 2 years younger than Mary.
Life changed for me in 2014 when I was 38, and I look and recall the years before then as pathetic, and how unhappy I was, but at the time I was happy and just didn't know or I guess couldn't figure out what happiness was.
When we moved into the house, a brand-new development, the people that moved in next door were David and Donna, and amazing couple the same age as me. They were high school sweethearts, and we had a good relationship with them right away. We spent time together with them all the time usually at our house since we had young kids, and they were so understanding with the kids and even helped. They were trying to have kids themselves but were unable to. They were ready to adopt but when it was about to be finalized there was an issue, and they were heartbroken they gave up and decided not to try anymore.
David and Donna moved I think about when I was thirty, so about 7 years after we all moved into our houses. There reason was the house was too big for them since they were not having kids, and they made a life changing decision to quit their jobs and start a business together. They moved about 20 min away, and we remained close making it a point to have dinner on the calendar once a month followed by going back to one of our houses afterwards to talk. Donna and I would see it other more often shopping or talking on the phone.
David and Donna were nothing like us, not religious at all and when we first met them, they would sometimes joke about sex, but they saw how it made us uncomfortable, so they respectfully dropped it. Spencer would make comments to me about their openness of how wrong it was, but I would think to myself sometimes well not think but was jealous I guess of them, but it never changed our friendship.
As for Luke and me, I thought we had the perfect life, he had an excellent job, made good money, participated in the local town with a goal to be mayor of our small town. I was a homemaker, heavily involved with the church, and teaching classes at the church even. As for sex I did not know any better, I did not like to talk with others about it, so I did not know if it was good or bad, so I thought I had a normal sex life of once a month, and sometimes twice if it was a special occasion. My kids were the best thing, we always had a great relationship, open and honest conversations, again the perfect life or so I thought.
About 10 years ago I came home from somewhere and walked into my house to hear my husband screaming at my 18-year-old daughter. He heard from another parent that Mary was caught making out with a girl at their house. Luke confronted Mary about it, and she admitted it was true, and is a lesbian. This is where I walked in with Luke beyond anything I have ever seen before. I looked back and I was very disappointed in myself in how I acted with saying I was disappointed in Mary and just took a back seat to my husband.
This was right around the time Mary was getting ready to go to college and my husband yelling how he was not going to support a dyke in the family. Mary did not want to go to college and decided to move out and move away with some friend who graduated a year before her living in another state. I finally got some women balls to stand up a little to my husband, I did not want to never talk to my daughter like my parents did to me, and wanted to help her out even at the time I didn't agree with her choices. I convinced him we could keep this quiet in town and were able to get some money to give to Mary to help her. Mary was pissed off at me but knew I was a slave to the catholic religion and obeyed my husband.
After all of this went down, we had one of our dinners with David and Donna, and after dinner we went back to our house like normal. We were close and told each other many things, and they knew us better than anyone and knew we were upset. I was surprised when Luke told them what went down with Mary. I was more surprised with how quickly things escalated between Luke, and David and Donna. David and Donna saw no issue with Mary's choice and said they were proud of her for admitting it. It got really heated when they said how can you disown your daughter just because she likes girls and what kind of parents are you.
This went into a whole argument with Luke talking about the bible and how gay people are so bad and will be punished. The straw the broke the camel's back wis when David said you can take your fucking religion and the way you feel about gay people and shove it up your ass, you are the bad person here about how you feel and how you treated your daughter, with Donna agreeing 100%. Luke who never curses started to scream get the fuck out of my house and our lives you fag devil worshipers.
