Have you ever heard of a three way relationship that worked out?

I have a few friends who are very happy in 3-way (or other multiple partner committed relationships). I can think of three situations where it's worked really well for people and they've all been together for over 10 years now.

That being said, I can think of way way more than fail miserably. The problem is that usually one person of the three needs more attention than the other two OR has way less self confidence than the other two OR is lying about being okay with the relationship - or sometimes, all of the above.

Bottomline: If everyone is honest and has clear expectations, it'll work. If someone is lying to others or themselves, it wont.

But hey - ALL OF THAT is true for relationships with only two people as well, so I don't really think it's the numbers that matter, it's that people are generally crap at being honest and open with each other.

I've heard the same things as you people who usually do things like that with other people never stay together especially married people.

I have only ever heard the exact same things as you that it always ends bad and all which were involved just end up broken hearted... so sad :(

Answer mine please
