[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re in a throuple, how many bedrooms is your residence? What else should I know before moving in?[/quote]

Focus on bedrooms all you want, but have you focused on the emotional and larger social and family logistics? Have you bluntly talked about what happens if jealousies arise? How you will handle things like work social events and other social outings and invitations? (Will you be publicly a throuple who socialize as such, basically? Or do two of you want to be a public couple and the third is fine not being part of that--?) Might there eventually be family issues like whether you all try to go to family holidays as a "throuple" or "couple and our friend who goes everywhere we go" or just all as solos to do holidays with your own individual families? Family stuff is a moot point for many adults but not for all.

Find old threads here about throuples arrangements, it's come up in the past. It's easy now to say, oh, we'll work all that out as we go, when you're just focused on the sexual arrangement at first. But these arrangements blow up over normal human things like jealousies. Epectations that aren't made crystal clear. Or two of the three ending up paired off more/being more compatible living together. Or people growing feelings that won't fit into a triangle any more. Or one or more of the participants wanting a more "traditional" relationship to family holidays with parents and not knowing how to navigate that, etc. Again, maybe you've thought of all that.
