Michelle, 39, has been married to Michael, 50, since 1995. They live in rural Manitoba and have two school-age children.

In 2005, however, Michelle found herself falling in love with Liam, a friend, fellow musician and bandmate she'd known for as long as she'd known her husband. He sang at their wedding, in fact.

Turns out the feelings were mutual.

This is typically where the weaving of the tangled web begins. Except that Michael not only knew about his wife's extramarital attraction, he consented to and supported her decision to get romantically involved with the divorced father of two.

Seven years later, Michelle, Michael and Liam are sitting in a downtown cafe telling a reporter how they managed to prevent the destruction of either a marriage or a friendship.

This is only glancingly related to transgender issues, but it is a topic that comes up a lot here.

This is only glancingly related to transgender issues, but it is a topic that comes up a lot here.

Its relevance has to do with the many issues surrounding non-traditional marriage - an issue that is near and dear to the transgendered community.  Thanks for posting it.

The only sour note in the article, for me, was the gratuitous swipe at Newt Gingrich.

Also, their copy editor could have taken a moment to glance in their dictionary and seen that it's spelled polyamory .

At least they didn't spell it polyarmoury (yes, I've seen that - shields up, Captain!)

Polyarmoury

Is that a "fighting word"?
