My wife and I have been non monogamous for about a year and a half. We've done alot of work to get to this point. We have a 13 and 14 year old sons. It's a blended family and the other parent for each boy are very conservative/non accepting of many things including polyamory.

We have been dating another couple for about 6 months. We hang out and have dinners together a few times a week. We don't show PDA infront of the kids.

Both sons have expressed that they have major issues with our lifestyle. They both get along with the couple we're dating and most of the issues if not all are perpetuated by the other the other parents. It's like they hate the situation but they can't describe anything in particular they don't like.

Has anyone had issues like this? Any thoughts of best way to proceed? We've had many conversations that this is a relationship style that many people choose, that our relationship is all about love, respect, trust, communication. Nothing is seeming to help.
