- lisper 8y agoThe Marsten family lived at a time when societal acceptance of alternative lifestyles was much lower than it is today, and it caused them a lot of grief. Polyamorous relationships don't work for most people (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17320556 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17320556) but that's not a good reason to adopt rules that discriminate against the minority for whom it does work.
