A single woman having a bi-racial baby hardly lifts an eyebrow these days, however, it does raise eyebrow when its a married woman having a bi-racial baby, not that its really anyone else's business. It creates all kinds of mind-boggling assumptions ... one of which is a cheating wife. So it stirs up all the concerns of bi-racial issues, from "out-of-marriage" baby to adultery, etc ... involving many more incorrect "opinions" regarding, primarily the female. She's the one that takes the blunt of comments. Thing is, a lot of married women become pregnant by men other than their husbands, its just when the baby is noticably "different" that the rumors spread.
Men (black & white), more than women, seem to dwell on this bi-racial topic ... as a fantasy, mostly. Women, by the simple fact that they are the ones that will go through the 9-month pregnancy cycle are the ones who usually take this more seriously. This most definitely is a serious topic once its "thought out".
i suppose that it is because the average persons then thinks that the male is insufficient. a mixed baby sends out a series of messages to other males about the marriage. the first one is spousal inadequacy, the second is spousal disloyalty, third comes that the wife is easy. none of these may be true...but they are what pop up immediately.
when my alyssa had her first mixed, she started getting hit on by every guy who deemed himself worthy and able...esp the black ones. they all saw her as open season. i'd say also, because it was clear we weren't separating, they entirely all felt they too had a chance at impregnating her.
boy howdy did they not appreciate knowing her minimum qualifications. typically, she won't consider having sex with anyone she'd not desire genetically to sire a baby (at least 6-4, muscular, athletic, intelligent, talented, etc.) she's that way. there have been exceptions...but rare ones. she prefers going fully natural, and is most driven the peak of her fertility.
as for my friends. some had heard we'd play around...so no great jump there. hers too. many were so intrigued, they followed suit. tho not all of them remained married. some crossed emotional/romantic lines...we just never did. my wife is also bi, so that lead to her selected lover impregnating her and her GF the same night while i was present...and so was her GF's hubby (restrained for his own good, & request)
as for my work. its not been really a matter of conversation. our friends there 'share on the subject at work out of respect...and i don't mix work and personal life at all!
as for alyssa's work. well, she's in charge of that...but her "boss" is a bi-female, currently in a somewhat open relationship with another woman. other women at her work also know, and some have even been curious about it. the guys she work with are of no concern, because they're not into women.
church was a bit of an issue. but we simply found a new faith-home. several of the ladies from the old church followed us as well.
as for family...my ******* liked to play in his younger years, and he really never said much about it because i already had a "trueblood" ******* to carry the name, bloodline, and inheritance forward. mom. well that was something different, because of her far sterner upbringing. because of this, it became obvious my wife had lovers, and still was in a loving relationship with me. this opened up discussion between her and my *******...and concessions ensued. my older brother saw this as an opportunity, but alyssa's proven far harder game than he's ever met...having him soil himself once where there was no way for others not to see the effect as he tried to leave! both of my sisters have (separately) had intimate time with her, and have shared her lovers too. my younger brother is a rather odd case that i'd prefer not to discuss...but he's had no issues.
our children...well, they've seen and met some of our guests. when they were younger, and didn't understand...they thought mouth kissing made babies. as they grew later, they just understood. since there's no lack of love or instability in our marriage, they had no real cause to get upset. i just wonder as they develop their own relationships, and get married, if that may set them in one direction or another.
now, as i mentioned before, there have been times where she gets openly hit on. a few years ago, she was nursing on a parkbench. it was a surprisingly warm thanksgiving day some years ago...and an exceptionally tall(6-7?), wellbuilt(athletic250?), and wellspoken, 40something black man in a dress suit came up, asked if he could speak to my wife. i nodded, then he whispered into her opposite/distant ear. she nodded, smiled at me and asked if i'd take the baby. she said she'd be right back in a bit. she then followed him into a stand of trees and behind the bushes. they were back there for maybe an hour...maybe longer. i saw him leave quickly...in an obvious hurry. then i saw my wife emerge somewhat unsteadily at first, eyes out of focus, and somewhat disheveled...and walked back over to me. she whispered in my ear, "he's a neurosurgeon, from tanzania, and here for a convention. he's married, has 14 *******, and was a whole lot of wonderful!" she reaked of sex and pungent african seed.
when we got home, our ******* intercepted her as alyssa made a run for the bathroom...looked my wife over and said, "looks like someone's been KISSING again." looking down at alyssa's legs (cum was leaking down them) and said, smells like it too!"
later our ******* asked if we were going to have another "brownie baby". all me and alyssa could do, is just looks at each other and smile quietly and say maybe.
