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.




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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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