In Germany, I witnessed a multi-family household. A married couple bought the house. Then they had kids, but they divorced amicably yet continued to live in the same house. Then each of them found a new partner who also started living in the same house. Now they are like friends, with 3 couples living together, and 5 kids in the house. It's hard for me to imagine living like that, the stress that would take, but they seem to be happy with the arrangement and they hang out together and take care of each other's kids. That might be a better model for society in the future. Not necessarily marrying, but living in a close community with your friends. It is interesting to think about the logistics and social changes that need to happen for this to work, though.
- legostormtroopr 8y agoBut where did the third couple come from? Is this a riddle?
- ataturk 8y agoPlus, what kind of weirdos get divorced, then stay together with other partners in the mix? It reminds me of that Futurama episode where Frye has to share a girlfriend with a whole bunch of other guys.
- tedunangst 8y agoWhen two couples like each very much...
- raz32dust 8y agoHaha yea I meant 2 couples. Can't seem to edit now.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoI know a couple of polygamous / polyamorous people on the internet, I don't know how they manage but apparently some people are wired like that where they can tolerate other people in intimate relationships.
