Threesome Relationships....

Originally posted by Lord Lucien
Three people engaged in a sexual and emotional relationship (MMF or FFM) trying to have/raise children. With two people it can be tough enough, but three!? In the same house. And which are the real parents. Will parent A favour their kid with parent B (kid's name is AB) over parent C's kid with B (named CB)? Or vice versa? Who owns what? Scheduling! Parent-child relationship clusterf*ck. OMG... fights. Parent A and B side against parent C. Parent C leaves in a huff taking CB with them. Parent B is more distraught than parent A leading AB to develop images of parent A as favorable for attention, while parent B is viewed as unfairly caring toward CB--who meanwhile misses parent B and begins to resent C for leaving.

And that's just one fight. Imagine family dinners at the holidays.

Sentiment like that usually comes from a place of ignorance rather than meaningful scrutiny. A third person could offer unique compromises not available to "normal" couples too. In the absence of data or actual polyamorous people, we're just making up scenarios to fit our imagined realities. The other things you mentioned tend to be settled by discussion(scheduling).

It's just problematic to look at an unfamiliar group of people and say "They must be crazy." This leads to harmful statements like..."bisexuals are promiscuous."

P.S. I'm not associating bisexuality with polyamory. It was just the first stereotype to occur to me......so get off my back ya foos. uhuh

Super P.S. I'm not trying to sound like a jackass btw. Just trying to get people to think about what they say.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't want to engage in a relationship of that sort if kids were involved. And romantically I don't think I'd function very well either.

Like I said, casual and friendly arrangement wouldn't be bad.

Like I said before, it sounds like you're saying "I don't understand how this works, so they must be crazy."

Just to elaborate, I totally support your personal choice. I'm just saying that making assumptions about an unfamiliar group is.....yeah.

I...I asked if you were joking. cry

I can understand having a threesome, but a polygamous relationship? I have one girlfriend and that's stressful enough, and the reason I'm together with her is because I love her.

Are... are you joking?

Then why is it stressful?

Great example: I can't open up Photoshop and start drawing when she's here, because then she gets bored.

So it'd be exacerbated with another?

Do you get it yet, StyleTime?

I've said multiple times I take no issue with someone's personal unwillingness to engage in such relationships.

You, unfortunately, don't seem to understand the difference between that and making assumptions about people you don't understand.

Actually I'm just a pissant who gets off on your misreadings.

Do.... do you want to fight?

Naked mudwrestle? I'm super good at that.

Careful: that could lead to a threesome.

That's fine. Just don't 'spect me to stick around and look after anyone.

a relationship is only for two but some bitches doesn't know how to count

P.S. this applies for sex too

I would never share my partner with anyone.

And I've had plenty of friends who decided to start "threesome" relationships with other friends and it always turned out badly.

Can they work? If not, why not? If so, why? Which variations of threesomes are morely likely to work than others? (ex. Male/Male/Female ; Male/Male/Male ; Female/Female/Male ; Female/Female/Female)

Is it morally or ethical wrong? If so, why? If not, why not?

Discuss. And for god's sake discuss this rationally and without political allegiances. 🙄

The F^ck?

Anyways
Male Female Female for me
