Are throuples a recipe for disaster?

That answer is yes… absolutely… 100 percent. Changes are if a relationship is involving three people there tends to become jealous. Look…. If you have two men chances are you’ll like one more then the other. If you’re in a relationship between two women and a man… Again. The man will probably favor one over the other. Causing issues. Even if you’re the picked woman. You will have someone else jealous of you.

It’s just not a good idea. Polyamory is still illegal in many areas. And even if it wasn’t. I would avoid this.

Yes, I agree, jealousy and envy are difficult for some people.

On a technical point, polyamory = loving or being open to loving more than one person at a time. I'm not aware of that being illegal... where? Nor is cohabitation illegal. Sexual relations with more than one person are not illegal... or else half the adult population would be criminals!!! Heck, the Family Court of Australia has long recognised there can be unlimited numbers of de facto marriages for the purposes of dividing shared property.

What is illegal in most countries is being *formally* married to more than one person at a time.

[Summeroflove]

@bddddd beint married to two people is illegal

[Summeroflove]

@bddddd and yes. People can have open relationships legally. Doesn’t mean they end well

[bddddd]

I agree on both points

[Summeroflove]

@bddddd yeah

In relationship it's only question of time until a trike turns in multi wheeled vehicle. The difference is when one wheel gets damaged a vehicle with two dozens of wheels, this vehicle will be still functional, in relationships this faulty wheel will infect other wheels. The infection can be physically like AIDS but it can be emotionally or psychologically as well.

Close relationship with one person is challenging, with two is practically only achievable among people with specific mindset. Among more than two it's practically impossible.

Not disaster, per se, but it's tough enough to balance out feelings between TWO people. WIth three, you know one pair is likely to like each other more than the other combinations... So, how do you deal with that? Let it ride, keep with the group? Or let the two who like each other the most stay together...

Seems like an unneeded complication that will lead to hurt feelings...

They largely turn into disasters. I witnessed one first hand. It lasted about 13 months and then divorce of a 13 year marriage. I was even at the house a few times with all 3 of them there. It was awkward the last months, you could tell. Now everyone lives in different states.

[OlderAndWiser]

For most people. . . yes.

[RingOfFire]

Yes, they are a recipe for disaster if longevity of the relationships is the goal.

How many throuples have you met that are celebrating even a 10th anniversary much less a 25th?

Check out the TLC series "Sister Wives" to find out just how much of a disaster polygamy can be.

They can work, but most people don’t want them. A lot of guys want threesomes with two women as a one off, but they don’t want a real throuple. And most women don’t want them at all (unless they’re in a sexually experimental phase, and even then they just want a threesome, not a throuple). But if all three of you want that, it can work.

[egan3141]

Depends. If you want a life time commitment, then yes. If you want to just have fun, then no. Life-time commitments barely work between 2 people. I don't know if they ever work beyond 2. But having fun is just having fun. Number doesn't matter

[alice55]

I would say he's because there's always someone you ll better than the other so this Will lead to jealousy

[Anonymous]

I don't think that many of them will work out in the long run. I almost got into one myself but could feel that I'd get jealous in certain situations... Can't do it

[DrPepper12]

Not for mature people who voluntarily form one with other consenting adults.

It's messy & complicated but what relationship isn't?

[Snowman84]

It could work for some people, I know people in a MFM relationship. There is no reason why it couldn’t work if everyone was on board.

[guesswhereivebeen]

Not all the time.. you gotta have 2 very secure girls though

[Anonymous]

Maybe, but allegedly it works for some people.

[Paige90]

I like them but they aren't for everyone.

[exitseven]

No, but I can see how they could be.

[blackeagle007]

A throuple? Define

[ABC1x1x]

Only if they women know about eachother

[shortster]

Depends on how they come about.

[beefcakebradybatson]

H**L to the YEAH !!!

[TallMan89]

No, if the two women know their place.

[mysteriousNicholas]

I'd say so 😃

[beenherebefore]

I think so.

[Spencer10]

Maybe.

[Staximus]

Almost always

[jahaims]

Duh.

[Anonymous]

A throuple?

[MrOracle]

Three people in a relationship. It could be two men and a woman or two women and a man.

[Twalli]

Not always.

[Anonymous]

[Jmmmfi4]
