I think it's true that in "general" society, it's a difficult concept to grasp.
Interestingly, however, I was with a bunch of great women this weekend on a girls weekend. They are all close enough friends that they know us as a triad. We got on to the topic of my relationships, and without exception, they said they don't even think about it any more, because it just seems "normal" that I would have a husband and a partner.
Bear in mind that these people aren't swingers, although a couple of them are lesbians. I think I'm just REALLY fortunate that I have a great group of open-minded friends. When you think about it, life is just too freaking short to even waste time having friends who you couldn't be yourself with.
