This sounds like an answer of all three mentioned people having equal obligation. That is, the second boyfriend could ethically claim, "I have no obligation to take you in – after all, literally anyone else with equal capability could do it instead."
If I understand this correctly, then thank you for the clarification.
- yummyfajitas 11y agoThat's not quite my view. If the "second boyfriend" relationship is one that normally comes with obligations like taking someone in temporarily, then that second boyfriend is more obligated than other parties. If the other guy is just a NSA hookup, then he's definitely not obligated - such a relationship establishes no such obligation. (I'm not very familiar with the "second boyfriend" relationship, having never actually taken on that role.)
