Interesting timing, since such a situation just blew up in our faces.
We are a system currently married to another system. There are several "pairs" between us, including one in our system who is torn between two in theirs. For the most part, this system works well, but recently a third person has entered the situation. On in our system and one in our wife's system are both interested in him, and he considers himself poly and is open to both. We have no problem with this but my wife... well, some of them... are staunch monogamists. Meanwhile, others of her will gleefully join him. But if one of ours (who isn't married, though he has expressed romantic interest in one of hers) so much as makes a move, they accuse us of cheating. It's been quite stressful lately and we're not sure how we're going to handle it.
