Three way relationship?

Post Reply New Topic

As in, three people dating each other instead of two.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about it recently. It sounds like it would work better than a normal relationship. I haven't been in any relationships, so everything I know is learned from various shows, books, movies, and things I've seen in real people. And when I think about it, a two-person relationship tends to end because they either clash too often, or just aren't compatible. Which, I think, is a natural part of human's and the need to either lead or follow. With only two people, their's a power-struggle, unless one gives in (Hard for people to do sometimes).

With three people, I think there's a variety of benefits. It make people happier, giving one person two people to look forward to being intimate with. Emotionally intimate, i mean. Like, being able to connect with two people (Emotionally) at the same time, it makes people happier. It would quickly solve disputes, I think, because, in conflicts big and small, it would always be 2-1. It could make us better people, too, I think. It would help you know yourself better, and actually leave you capable of working on it much sooner than you might normally have. But, the thing I've been thinking about most, it would be better number to raise children with. Having three parents to lean on, to rely on. Not only would you (The child) be comfortable financially, but emotionally. And there would never be too much pressure put on one parent because they would all have that much extra time that they could each take regular breaks without neglecting the child.

i think it would be messier in practice. do you have any idea how complicated people are

It just seems like it'd be so darn complicated. Imagine the jealousy when two people are connecting without the other.
I just feel almost like, even if there were three, two people would group together in the end.
It's hard enough living with one person for the rest of your life. It's probably harder getting used to it with two.
It might end up just being something like having multiple wives/husbands and not actually be a three-way relationship.

It might work in a really casual sort of relationship, though. I guess you never know until you try.

(And I have no idea what I'm talking about.)

I like the idea. I am in a relationship with two children, so it's a bit late for me but I've often thought it would take the pressure off me if there was another person who could do stuff too like earn money and be intimate when I'm not feeling like it.

Let me start at two-way first.

2s company, 3s a crowd

That would NOT work for me at all. It seems almost impossible for me to find one person who will give me a chance & try to make a relationship work with me so finding a 2nd person will be even more difficult to find. It would be very hard for me to try to divide an equal amount of time between two people. I'm the type of person who would want to find one person to spend all my time with & the idea of being away from my partner freaks me out so I would probably freak when the two of them would spend time together without me

Emotionally I've done it, with partial success, it is possible but it is a situation where you can not have secrets, at all. A single secret can tear the fabric of the relationship apart. I did this with a best friend a few years back. In my circumstances it was easy. All of us were bisexual so physically. And we had all dated individually previously, me (names changed) Lisa and Marie all had dated separately and attempted to connect in a three prong relationship as at the time we were all torn between the choices. It worked for several months until Lisa began to feel attracted to a forth member. Again it was discussed bringing him into the group, originally it worked, but after a while he started to develop deep emotions for Lisa, and it was discussed again, and Lisa and Richard decided to spilt from the group to become a separate couple. No objections were raised over this. Now they're are married and in two months their son is to be born. unfortunately me and Marie ended up going our separate ways. But as a group we keep in touch on a regular basis.

So to finalise it works at 3, but if you want it to be a long term thing to do not add a forth as this'll cause unset emotions.

Are there 2 bi-sexual ladies looking to hook up with a man?
In all seriousness though, I don't know. Beneficial on one hand, problematique in the other. Like they could both look stunning but you could be asked who looks better? Hence then there will be disputes between the three of you.
