2 wives and 1 husband live together under one roof, raising children together, know howZoom

Frank Eric, who lives in San Diego, lives with his wife Tatyana Brown and another partner, Lexi Bowman.

Regarding marriage and relationships, we often believe that there is room for only two people in it. In the society, only the family of husband, wife and children is considered complete, but now some people are changing this old thinking and are creating new types of relationships as per their own wish. A family living in San Diego, California in America is in the news these days because of their strange lifestyle. Here a man lives in the same house with his two wives. These three not only sleep and wake up together, but are also raising their three children together. This type of pairing is called ‘thrapal’, in which three people are together. They say that even though the world abuses them, they are very happy in this unique relationship. The name of this 40 year old man is Frank Eric, who lives with 33 year old Tatyana Brown and 26 year old Lexi Bowman.

Let us tell you that Eric and Tatyana were together for the last 11 years. He also has children of his own, which include 13 year old Oliver, 7 year old Sage and 5 year old Naomi. Some time ago Tatyana told Eric that she wanted to involve a third person in their relationship. After this Lexi entered his life. Lexi has now completely shifted to their house. Tatyana says that with the arrival of Lexi, the beauty of her house has increased and the children are also getting the love of two mothers instead of one. This family says that because there are three people, running the house has become very easy. They have divided the work among themselves. Tatyana takes care of the kitchen, Lexi takes care of the outdoor chores and gardening, while Eric does the repairs and heavy lifting.

Whether it’s dropping the kids off to school or getting their homework done, Tatyana and Lexi manage it all together. They believe that when one person gets tired, the other immediately comes to help. There is no shortage of money, because all three earn together and keep the money in the same account. However, living together like this was not so easy. As soon as they told people about their relationship, many of their old friends broke ties with them. Neighbors and relatives also look at them strangely. Lexi’s mother was initially very scared because of her daughter’s young age and how she would live in such a big family. Eric’s mother also had many questions in her mind. But Tatyana says that when these people came to our house and saw how comfortably and peacefully we were living, then gradually everyone’s fear ended.

Now their family members have also started accepting this relationship. However, despite the immense love between the three, there is also a problem of jealousy in their relationship. Tatyana admits that when three people are together, sometimes one person may feel that he is getting less time. Initially there were fights between them regarding this. But now they have made a system. They discuss every small and big thing among themselves. If someone feels bad, they immediately sit down and sort things out. They play games together and go out for walks so that there is equal coordination between everyone. This experience was new for the children also. When Lexi first came home, the kids were told she was just a friend. Gradually the children mixed with him. When he came to know that now he would have three parents, he took it very easily. The elder son simply asked whether there would be any reduction in the love he received? When he was sure that everything would remain the same, he agreed.
