A friend of a friend is married, but he and his wife have taken another woman into their home and consider themselves a “throuple.” They are a few months into this arrangement, so no idea how long it will last. My friend thinks his friend’s wife likes the new girl more than she likes him.

I guess I’m old. I’m mostly a live and let live kinda guy. But is his marriage really a marriage? Maybe I’m just jealous. Yeah, that’s probably it.

It's like getting cheated on, but pretending you like it

I’m sure there’s a vibrant “community” on Reddit dedicated to those who have chosen to complicate their lives in this manner.

Your friend will be divorced soon. May as well break the news to him.

Slutty people who try to feel better about it by pretending they’re in a serious relationship when they aren’t capable of it.

Polyamory is Greek for “I’m a whore”.

I have a friend that is married but has this kind of relationship with another woman who is much younger than them. Been going on for years. Maybe they support her. Who knows.

Easy, a couple brings in more people to the relationship.. not a good look, but on the flip side at least it’s not a dude.. yet

Your friend is lying to himself as his wife is lying to him about bot being a slut anymore.

You want to use it where you don't want water, but you can't use it underwater. Also, the temp needs to be above ~75° or it won't cure properly. Just make sure you use a new tube, it degrades pretty quickly after opened.

They're going back to that good old religion from the days of Abraham when he had three wives like the good Lord intended.

Your Mommy likes to play with your Daddy’s favorite toy.

But a friend of Mommy’s is a girl who likes to play with Mommy’s favorite toy.

That’s more fun for Mommy but she likes that Daddy has money so she acts like she likes playing with his toy as much as she likes having her toy played with by her girl friend.

Daddy thought he’d like watching and helping Mommy and her friend play but they like to play without Daddy because he insists on putting his toy in places they don’t want it to go.

Any questions?
