Leah Hamilton, Married mother-of-two who fell in love with another woman reveals how her husband supported her new relationship
A married woman who fell in love with another mother has revealed how her husband supported her throughout her new relationship.
Leah Hamilton, who identifies as queer, first met her husband at a university in New Zealand. The couple enjoyed a non-monogamous relationship and even made out with other people on their wedding night.
Leah said that she later fell in love with another woman at the kindergarten school gates and had her husband’s full backing even after the two women broke up.
In an interview with Insider, Leah said she was first drawn to her husband due to his ‘quiet and sensitive’ nature and progressed with their relationship ‘without many of the usual frameworks.’
She had been dating another woman at the same time, whom she had met at a party, but soon decided to move in with her then-boyfriend, get married, and have children.
The mother-of-two said that having an open relationship was largely put on hold to raise their kids until the couple moved to Berlin after her husband received a job offer.
It was there that the couple ‘discovered a very open culture and a lifestyle in which having children was no barrier to having a good time.’
But, despite initially finding it hard to meet new potential partners, Leah revealed: ‘I began to go out in the evenings with one of the other married mothers I had met at my children’s kindergarten.
