Or it was dependent on him thinking that his mom was overreacting and that nothing bad would happen. Maybe it was from the feeling of invincibility that kids have. There is always a reason behind every action whether conscious or unconscious.
Oh - I'd like to throw out, I think poly relationships are better when everyone is in love or sexually attracted to everyone else. One man who loves 4 women (but the 4 women are at best friends) is going to have far less success that one man who loves 4 woman and each of the woman ALSO are in...
I don't have any problems with polyamory as long as a few criteria are met:
1) All parties consent and are aware of what is going on.
2) All parties are of legal age.
3) No one was pressured into it.
4) Divorce is allowed, should they choose to do so.
5) Open communication is a huge MUST...
I'm fine with them airing opinion shows as long as they call them opinion shows. Far too often "news' programs are spouting opinion and propaganda. There is a reason why so many in the US worry about non-existent things like Obama being 'born in Kenya" or "death panels."
