A WOMAN has hit back at trolls who have called her “brainwashed” for allowing her husband to have a second wife.
Jamie and Kevin have been together for 15 years, and share three children, and one grandchild.

During a break in the marriage, the pair began exploring separately and Kevin met Lacee.
Jamie and Kevin then rekindled their relationship, and added Lacee into the mix as well.
One Monday’s and Tuesday’s Kevin sleeps with Jamie, and then on Wednesdays and Thursdays he sleeps with Lacee.
At the weekend, the trio all alternate.
Lacee said that she had never been in a polyamorous relationship, and didn’t know if she would be able to come “behind” another woman in a relationship.
However, since she met Kevin when he was separated from Jamie, she got to fall in love with him as an individual before entering the group dynamic.
Lacee is also a big fan of Jamie and Kevin’s children, and said they are exactly “the type of children I wanted.”
The trio have gone public with their relationship on social media, in the hopes of educating people about polyamory.
However, they have been subject to severe trolling online.
“We experience judgement in all facets of our life, simply because we live our lives unapologetically”, Kevin told Love Don’t Judge.
Some of the harshest comments they have received include that they lack self-love and that Kevin loves Lacee more than Jamie.
They have even seen parents cover their children’s eyes when the three of them are walking down the street.
“I get judgement on social media because I’m looked at as the person who couldn’t let go”, Jamie admitted.
“People have so much focus around the three of us, that they forget that we’re a family”, Lacee added.
What is polyamory?
Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties.
It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple.
According to You Gov, 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship.
Jamie and Kevin said that their three kids are very accepting of their parents’ unconventional relationship.
The kids said that they see lots of positives in having an extra parent but added that it can be tricky to explain the dynamic to their friends.
Jamie and Lacee said that they do often get jealous of each other, but are able to work through their jealousy.
Kevin added that he would never think of adding another wife into the relationship, as he is now “100% satisfied.”
