Do you know anyone involved in a "throuple"

[Anonymous]

So, I just encountered this term in reading some articles about Katie Hill. One article mentioned that it was a newish arrangement being practiced by Millenials and Generation Z. Being an Xer, this whole concept seems rather strange to me and I have never met anyone engaged in this type of relationship, at least that I know of. Wondering if this is actually a growing "trend"for lack of a better word among young people.

I’ve never heard that term. I hope I never hear it again.

I think it's common for companies to come up with some rare setup, call it a new Millennial thing, then hope it attracts clicks.

Throuples have been around for ages. This happened in the 1920s.

Not that I know of. Seems complicated to me, but to each their own.

I’m Gen X as well. I know it on the opposite end. Baby Boomers.

Disagree with the “to each their own” part. You wait-!it won’t be long before they want this recognized as legal marriage

I was part of one for a while. Gen Xer.

I know of one. They’ve been together for 10+ years and are raising kids together. They are in their late 30s & early 40s, so I’m not sure which generations they line up with.

To each their own.

I knew 3 people in one, but they called it a polyamorous relationship. One of the men in the relationship faded out a few years ago and the other two are just regular heteros with a child now.

Gosh I live in Denver and it seems like you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting poly/swingers.
I’m in my early 40s and I’d be open to it. It could be better than my traditional marriage was to a man who became an abusive drunk.

We called it a triad when I was in one. Three separate relationships. He and I were in a relationship. She and I were in a relationship. He and she were in a relationship.

Eventually the two of them broke up. I continued dating both for a year or so until she and I broke up. I'm still with him.

It does seem to be very location specific, apparently it's rather common in the Pacific NW as well. Not really a thing in the DC area as far as I can tell.
