So, let's imagine Steve and Erin do what most monogamous Americans do, when they reach the point they're at - where their marriage is more like platonic best friends who do great as economic partners and co-parents, then have an affair outside of the marriage. Or they get a divorce and split up the family. Why throw the baby out with the bathwater?
Poly as Steve and Erin conceive of it seems more like the European model where husband and wife stay husband and wife but each have lovers.
Being a lover is a completely different skillset from being a spouse. I think about half of us are insane trying to find it in the same person.
Steve and Erin seem to be doing something a lot saner.
